Subject: RE: BS: Who's Next? Iran or Korea?
"In December 1960, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion told the Israeli parliament that a nuclear reactor was under construction, but he said it was exclusively for peaceful purposes.

It was the first and last time that an Israeli prime minister made a public statement about Dimona, according to "Israel and the Bomb," an authoritative book by Avner Cohen, an Israeli American scholar.

Soon after taking office in 1961, President Kennedy pressured Israel to allow an inspection. Ben Gurion agreed, and an American team visited the installation that May.

A post-visit U.S. memo said the scientists were "satisfied that nothing was concealed from them and that the reactor is of the scope and peaceful character previously described to the United States."
"

And this is as much PROOF of Israel's peaceful use of nuclear material as Iran's claims that it's ( illegal) programs are for peaceful purposes. IF you claim Israel has nuclear weapons, you are saying that Iran could also be developing them, contrary to their previous claims.

Or do you still apply different standards to Jews than you do to others???
