Please I have questions to ask

Why is Israel in possession of nuclear weapons while the USA don't want the Iran to have it
Remember that the way Israel is hated in the middle East is the way Iran is extremely hated in the middle East too because of shiite
If you call Iran terrorists remember, Israel is also killing Palestinians every week
Please don't tell me Israel is a Christian nation because there are more Muslims in Israel than christians while Palestinians also have Christians

So,if you are answering my questions, please be intelligent
From your question, it is obvious you are already biased since Iran is not the only country not allowed nuclear weapons, i also suspect you are a moslem. All the same i will attempt to clear things up and it is up to you to read with a neutral mind. please note i am neither christian nor moslem. Yes their are Arab Israelis but they constitute only a small fraction of the population, as a matter of fact the Arab israelis and the Ultra-orthodox Israelis joined together makeup only 30% of the Israeli population. Iran is not as hated in the middle east as Israel, they might be shites but its kind of like they are just the prodigal son of the Arab nation, at heart they are all still family. Iraq's response to the recent Us assasination comes to mind.

First of all the middle east has never been a peaceful region, maybe because of its location at the crossroad of 3 continents or perhaps because it is "allegedly" considered to be the birthplace of 3 world religions which has never ever gotten along. Since the days of Rome, foreign powers have always interfered and tried to colonize and control that region, and it got worse when oil was discovered there in the 1930s.

Having said this. You should know that back in the day even when Iran was still a close US ally during the cold war era Iran wanted their own nuclear weapon, the US refused and it made a lot of sense simply because arming Iran with a nuclear weapon in the already volatile region would be disastrous, first the Soviet Union would not hesitate to follow suit and arm Saudi Arabia who are their ally and a mortal enemy of Iran and things can quickly spiral out of control in that region. Not only that, if the US or any other nation for that matter help Iran acquire a nuclear weapon it would violate the world Non-nuclear proliferation treaty that came into effect after the Hiroshima horror and prohibited any new country that already did not have a nuclear war head from getting one. Before the treaty in 1970, the only 6 countries had already built a nuclear weapon were: US, Soviet Union(russia), China, Uk, France and Israel. But today India and Pakistan has acquired nuclear weapons too, i dont know how they did it.

Israel on the other hand had already long since acquired their own nuclear war head with help from France before the treaty came into effect. this is not surprising because Israel(Jews) has always constantly been a target for attacks for reasons i honestly am yet to understand especially from the Arab nations. Ranging from an attempt to wipe them off from the face of the earth during the holocaust perpetrated by the Germans(Hitler) to the constant attacks from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, palestine, and Syria whom were always majorly aided by Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Algeria, as a result Israel has been embroiled in a series of defensive wars against Arabs since their independence. The Arabs(perhaps because of religion) are simply against the existence of Israel as an independent nation because of what they represent. These wars have naturally led Israel to evolve and adapt and has metamorphosed to become a very strong and resilient military nation, one of the best armed forces in the world despite their small size, they simply have to adapt for their own survival, for instance every Israeli youth male or female undergoes a mandatory military training and service, kinda what we have here with NYSC. It was the Arab-Israeli war of 1948 that drove Israel to develop their own nuclear weapon and despite having such a weapon they are yet to use it in many of their numerous wars against the Arabs thus gaining some sought of international trust. No one knows what Iran would do with a nuclear weapon and the international community is not interested in finding out, so to maintain stability in the region it is best no other nation there develops a nuclear warhead. Especially when you consider the aggressive nature of the Arabs when it concerns religion.

There is a reason Israel has never officially acknowledged owning a nuclear weapon you know(even thou everyone know they do), surely it is not unconnected with maintaining stability in that region. Even iran themselves have constantly advocated for a nuclear free region. I personally believe peace would return to that region when the Arab nations respect and acknowlege Israel existence and the beliefs they represent.

For those arguing, Israel is not a Christian state. And FYI, it is Israel and not Isreal.

There are a lot more christians in Israel than muslims.. Get your facts right, Israel is a Christian Country!
who is this agbaya na... Israel practices Judaism as its official religion, and not Christianity, they are two different but related religion.

And there are more moslems in Israel than Christians in Israel, the only reason israel have soft heart for the Christians is the support from US and pilgrimage economy

Almost everything Israel does is in self defense. Israel don't want to Islamize the world unlike most Arab countries.
If it were possible, most Arab countries would have wiped out Israel long ago. So self defense.
Israel is an ally. Some countries would use their weapons to force a religion on the world.

When lies and propaganda are the only truths you cling to ,you will inevitably say thrash like this and even more. The worst nightmare of the so-called civilised countries of the world is Islam which has stood the test of time . HOMOSEXUALITY and other ills afflicting the west are pushed by Christian liberals in the name of freedom of choice. For being repulsive these Western ills the price ISLAM and Muslims have paid is to be labeled as BARBARIC and terrorists respectively. How much of a sane society condones such evil!

Fuckgratulations:
Iran Air flight 655 , flight of an Iranian airliner that was shot down by the missile cruiser USS Vincennes on July 3, 1988, over the Strait of Hormuz, killing all 290 people on board. The passenger plane, which was in Iranian airspace, had been incorrectly identified as a fighter jet.
.
In July 1988 Iran and Iraq were in the midst of a war that included attacks on each other’s oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. The United States was among several countries that had warships in the area to safeguard the transport of oil. Various incidents, notably an attack on the USS Stark involving Iraq missiles in May 1987, had resulted in a revision to the U.S. rules of engagement, allowing U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf to undertake more protective measures. On July 3, 1988, the USS Vincennes, under the command of Capt. William C. Rogers III, was involved in several skirmishes with Iranian vessels. According to various reports, Rogers, who had a reputation for aggressiveness, ignored orders to change course and instead continued to pursue the enemy gunboats.
Against this background, the Iranian airliner, an Airbus A300, departed from Bandar-e ʿAbbās, Iran, at approximately 10:47 AM, headed to Dubai , United Arab Emirates. Crewmen aboard the Vincennes immediately began tracking Iran Air flight 655, which had taken off from an airport used by both military and commercial aircraft. For the next several minutes, there was confusion aboard the U.S cruiser over the identity of the aircraft, which was eventually determined to be a much smaller F-14 fighter jet. After several warning calls went unheeded, the
Vincennes fired two surface-to-air missiles at 10:54
AM, destroying the plane and killing all those on board.
Immediately after the event, U.S. officials reported that the Iranian airliner had been rapidly descending and was headed toward the Vincennes. In addition, it was stated that Iran Air flight 655 was not within its normal route. However, a U.S. Navy report on July 28, 1988—released to the public in redacted form on
August 19—refuted these claims. It concluded that the Iranian aircraft was actually ascending “within the established air route,” and it was traveling at a much slower speed than reported by the Vincennes. Furthermore, the airliner’s failure to communicate with the Vincennes was dismissed; in contact with two air control towers, the Iranian pilot was likely not checking the international air-distress channel. In the end, U.S. officials concluded that it was “a tragic and regrettable accident.” In explaining how the state-of-the-art cruiser had misidentified Iran Air flight 655, authorities cited “stress…and unconscious distortion of data.” However, U.S. officials also claimed that Iranian aggression played a key role in the incident. In 1990 the U.S. Navy notably awarded Rogers the Legion of Merit for his “outstanding service” during operations in the Persian Gulf.
.
Some, however, accused the U.S. military of a cover-up. It was noted that investigators failed to interview others near the Vincennes—notably the commander of the USS Sides , some of whose personnel had identified the aircraft as a commercial plane—as well as the surface warfare commander who had ordered Rogers to change course several hours before the incident. In addition, the report’s statement that the
Vincennes was in international waters was later acknowledged as incorrect; the cruiser was in Iranian waters.
In Iran it was widely believed that the U.S. attack had been deliberate, and Iranian authorities worried that it indicated the United States was planning to join forces with Iraq. That assumption was thought to have played a role in Iran’s decision to agree to a cease-fire with Iraq in August 1988. In May 1989 Iran filed a lawsuit against the United States at the
International Court of Justice. As the case dragged on, a settlement was reached in 1996. The United States, which “expressed deep regret” for shooting down Iran Air flight 655, agreed to pay $61.8 million to the victims’ families, and Iran dropped its suit.
