Subject: RE: BS: Another dictator to turn on the U.S.
" nuclear blackmail is when people make threats to use nuclear weapons against other countries if those other countries don't comply with their wishes."


So, Israel CANNOT be using nuclear blackmail, since it has never acknowledged that it has them.


" Anything that is capable of destroying Israel would have devastating effects on the air and water in Lebanon as well."

False, as you would know if you looked into the facts.

"Even if I had read them, I wouldn't believe them for a minute."

Then why should we believe anything you say? The manuals in question ( circa 1964 and 1972 ) are the ones looking at the effects of both the Japanese ( hiroshima and Nagasaki) bombs, and the above ground tests. If you refuse to look at facts, what DO you use to make your decisions on?


"However, if Hezbollah used such weapons against Israel, they would hardly destroy Israel. "

A single 100 kiloton bomb, in the "right" place, would destroy over 60% of Israel's population, and over 80% of it's industry. Seems like that qualifies...



"The UN is demanding that they cease doing something that they are legally entitled to do. "

False statement.
