Israel has always maintained a state of aggresive behavior both verbally and phyically towards Iran. Israel is always insisted they will strike nuclear targets in Iran long before the Iranian President took office.

Hezbollah (yes) Hamas (no...Saddam did). Lets not talk about nations funding other nations. We already discussed the relationship between Israel and America.

I know why America and Israel are against it. They are afraid of losing world power and authority. It still doesn't make it right. Both nations are hypocrites when it comes to WMD. Therefore, I don't even bother listening to anyone who even tries to remotely suggest its ok for one nation to have it and not another.

Looks to me like only one nation is killing 3 times as many civilians as the other. Only one nation in the Arab region has nuclear weapons and constantly makes threats to use them against others. I'll leave it up to you do determine whom this nation is.
