Why is Israel allowed to keep its atomic weapons which they obtained via the back door?

while Iran, who have not attacked another country for over 300 years, are being persecuted. Israel has been a state for 65 years only and have been involved in 6 wars already. One has to ask which of the 2 is a rouge state

    It's not just the fact that they have them, it's the fact that they refuse to let inspectors in. But I'm not worried about that, it's the biological weapons they have that worry me, and they have used them in the past (Acre, 1948- typhoid in water supply)

    Of course, I know this is falling on deaf ears, but Israel is under constant threat. Not all of the wars have been Israel's fault, and while I know you generally don't recognize that, they do have a use for the unfortunate weapons. Not that I do condone using them; however, I do recognize the possible preventative results that the mere rumor of the weapons has helped keep other nations from making rash decisions.

    Iran, though, is only getting flack because of such. That, and a lot of people don't trust the current regime, which in all honesty doesn't give off good vibes.

    If Israel is rogue and Iran isn't, then I'd say there is some merit in being rogue. I'd hate to live under such repression.

    The reason is UN is just the puppet of the US Government, and is a completely useless organization....

    Some especial countries gathers together, making baseless rules and themselves do it and try to persuade themselves it's legal.... And waise people only laugh at them, looking at them playing childish games....

    In Israels case they were only involved in the wars because they were attacked by surrounding nations and had no option but to defend themselves. Each and every time. They didn't asked to be attacked and on a number of occasions things were going so badly they could have been heavily defeated, wiped out completely and ceased to exist, but each and every time they have been miraculously delivered from harms way and continued to survive against all the odds surrounded by enemies who want to kill every last one of them and wipe Israel off the map.

    Israel doesn't officially have nukes, unless of course you can prove it :) (plausable deniability - nonetheless keeps them safer for sure). Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East where Arabs, Muslims, Druze, Jews and Christians all live in peace, have freedom and live peacefully as full Israeli citizens with full rights.

    In the case of Iran they have only been in their present unstable form since 1979 and during that time they have started wars through their proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, and their agents in Iraq as well as Bahrain. They were also responsible for a terrorist attack in Argentina so have a global reach, and have been involved in other acts of terrorism such as hostage taking, something the current president was personally directly involved in. He is a former terrorist and hostage taker!

    In the case of Iran, as soon as they get Nukes they are highly likely to use them and attack Israel and the West, that's how unstable they are. Some of the things said by Rafsanjani about what he wanted to do with other nations is pretty horrendous and he was one of the moderates. They now have the real hard liners and extremists running the regime. What do you suppose the purpose is of their "Al Quds" regiment? It is rather self explanatory that a even a halfwit would know it! What happens when Hezbollah aren't just passed conventional rockets by Iran to fire into Northern Israel and Haifa but something far worse? Where do you suppose the drones came from that Hezbollah were using during the simultaneous attacks on Israel by them and Hamas in 2006? The IEDs used to murder British, American, Iraqi, Afghan and other nationalities like Danes, Canadians, Aussies etc in Iraq and Afghanistans came from Iran which is a proven fact.

    It is called the "Double Standard" my friend.

    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    I believe that this little Persian endeavour, if it would ever materialize that is; a thing that I seriously doubt, given the terrible economic situation of the United States right at this moment, would create a crisis with unforeseen events for the average American citizen.

    Although I love all of these free spirited people, sometimes I wish they would take the wrong decision and follow these rabid Asian people who hijacked their administration in DC for these few past decades, forcing them to alienate themselves from the rest of the world, leaving them with one and only ally, a small temporary, ever-warring little state in the Middle East.

    That would force them to separate the wheat from the chaff eventually.

    Greetings

    "while Iran, who have not attacked another country for over 300 years"

    Really?

    Iran funds the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, which have been constantly attacking Israel for decades.

    Iran has been behind puppet Goverments in countries such as Lebanon.

    Iran has attacked and taken hostages in the US embacy in Tehran, which is sovereign US soil.

    Iran has trained and funded terrorism all over the world.

    So either by proxy or directly, Iran has attacked other countries constantly in the 20th and 21st century.

    And they continue to threaten other countries, including the US and Israel, while they are attempting to acquire atomic weapons..

    Iran has been in constant wars with it's neighbors over the last few centuries.

    Even other Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait consider Iran as a threat

    For the same reason why the normal people are permitted to have weapons - and maniacs are not.

    Maybe it has something to do with the suicide bombers.
