Reply #44: One thing nobody in the world feels toward Israel today is indifference.

[leveymg]

One thing that Israel needs to get over is its feeling that it is a victim of the world.

No country that has 300 nuclear warheads and global delivery systems is in any real danger of military annihilation. One can certainly understand given Israel's example why Iran is hell-bent on gaining its own.

The problem that Israel has with the prospect of Iran obtaining the bomb is not that it will ever be used, but that Israel will no longer be able to threaten Iran with a unilateral nuclear strike. Why they can't just grow up and learn to live with it, as did the U.S. in the face of nuclear arms built by Russia, Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, South Africa, and even North Korea, is beyond me.
