Why ISRAEAL have nuclear bomb?
341885
One reason is they have neibors like Iran, who say they should be wiped off the face of the earth.

Nah possibility of a nuclear war with nations is slim but if a terrorist group were to get their hands on a nuke weapon then all bets are off. That's why Iran nuke program must be verifiable before they are allowed to have one - they sponsor terrorism (hezbollah, hamas, etc)

If they only want nuclear energy, why did they hide their program for a decade?  They want a bomb.  It makes them suddenly a big time player.  They want to intimidate the Gulf States and Israel.

Of course they have, it is a proverb in Middle East, when people want to say something is really full they say it is like Israel Nuke Warehouse.\nIsrael has the most advanced army of the world.\nBut using them for protection is a little funny(Politely saying) idea, imagine if they launch a nuke to Lebonan, all of them will die from radiation.\nIts for power equation and to fear Arabs not for military use.\nIsrael gained enrichment technology many years ago and before that US gave them enriched Uranium and Plotonium they need.

Both India and Pakistan have tested nuclear weapons by denotating them underground, so there is little doubt that they have "the bomb".\n\nIsrael on the other hand has never actually tested any weapons, although there is little doubt that they do possess them, although it is not clear just how many they have or how big they are.\n\nIran is a different kettle of fish, as none of the above countries have ever advocated using them unless attacked, unlike Iran, whose supreme Ayatollah has already stated publicly that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth.\n\nIran has stated that it wants to develop nuclear power stations (a basic requirement for building a nuke) in order to help reduce a reliance on oil, a stange thing since the country has the 4th largest oil reserves in the world !!!\n\nThere is no doubt that Iran wishes to build a nuclear bomb, with which to threaten it's neighbours, and possible to use against Israel.\n\nUnlike other countries, which don't wish to be excluded from the rest of the civillized world, Iran is still out in the cold and refuses to acknowledge any of it's duties and responsibilities, hence it doesn't care what the rest of the World thinks.\n\nThe same is true for North Korea, hence the conrcern over these two countries.\n\nBoth are extremely unstable and any nuclear weapons they possess might not be used as a deterent against attack, but might be used to "strike first" at another country.\n\nOther nuclear powers have already agreed not to use such weapons unless attacked - neither Iran nor North Korea have signed up to this agreement. \n\nBasically, you wouldn't place your John Bobbit in the hands of a lunatic with a pair of scissors, so why trust Iran with nuclear weapons ?   Just doesn't make sense.

Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба, literally "Tsar-bomb") is the Western name for the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated or built. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb of about 50 megatons was codenamed Ivan by its developers.\n\nThe bomb was tested on October 30, 1961 in Novaya Zemlya, an island in the Arctic Sea. The device was scaled down from its original design of 100 megatons to reduce the resulting nuclear fallout...\n\nCodenamed "Ivan" during its development, the Tsar Bomba was not intended for use in warfare, but should be seen as an instance of the Cold War-era saber-rattling indulged in by the USSR and the USA.\n\nThe Tsar Bomba was a multi-stage hydrogen bomb with a yield of about 50 megatons (Mt). The initial three-stage (fission-fusion-fission) design was capable of approximately 100 Mt, but at a cost of too much radioactive fallout. To limit fallout, the third stage, consisting of a uranium-238 fission tamper (which greatly amplifies the reaction by fissioning uranium atoms with fast neutrons from the fusion reaction), was replaced with one made of lead. This eliminated fast fission by the fusion-stage neutrons, so that approximately 97% of the total energy resulted from the fusion stage alone (as such, it was one of the "cleanest" nuclear bombs ever created, generating a very low amount of fallout relative to its yield). There was a strong incentive for this feature regression, as most of the fallout from a test of the bomb would fall on populated Soviet territory.\n\nThe bomb, weighing 27 tonnes, was so large (8 meters long by 2 m in diameter) that the Tu-95 had to have its bomb bay doors and wing fuel tanks removed. The bomb was attached to an 800 kg fall retardation parachute, which gave the release and observer planes time to fly about 45 km from ground zero. Failing such retardation, the bomb would have either reached its planned detonation altitude so fast it would have turned the test into a suicide mission, or crashed into the ground at high speed, with unpredictable results.\n\nThe Tsar Bomba detonated at 11:32 a.m., located approximately at 73.85° N 54.50° E [2], over the Mityushikha Bay nuclear testing range (Sukhoy Nos Zone C), north of the Arctic Circle on Novaya Zemlya Island in the Arctic Sea. The bomb was dropped from an altitude of 10,500 m, and designed to detonate at a height of 4,000 m over the land surface (4,200 m over sea level) by barometric sensors.\n\nThe original USA estimate of the yield was 57 Mt, but since 1991 all Russian sources have stated its yield as "only" 50 Mt. Nonetheless, Khrushchev warned in a filmed speech to the Communist parliament of the existence of a 100 Mt bomb (technically the design was capable of this yield). The fireball touched the ground, reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane, and was seen 1,000 km away. The heat could have caused third degree burns at a distance of 100 km. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 60 km high and 30–40 km wide. The explosion could be seen and felt in Finland, even breaking windows there.[citation needed] Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage up to 1,000 km away. The seismic shock created by the detonation was measurable even on its third passage around the earth.\n\nSince 50 Mt is 2.1×1017 joules, the average power produced during the entire fission-fusion process, lasting around 3.9×10-8 seconds or 39 nanoseconds, was a power of about 5.3×1024 watts or 5.3 yottawatts. This is equivalent to approximately 1% of the power output of the Sun. The detonation of Tsar Bomba therefore qualifies, even to this day, as being the single most powerful device ever utilized throughout the history of humanity. By contrast, the largest weapon ever produced by the United States, the now-decommissioned B41, had a predicted maximum yield of 25 Mt, and the largest nuclear device ever tested by the USA (Castle Bravo) yielded 15 Mt...\n\n...amazing!\n

Bombing is pointless they built there facilities with our bombs in mind. Thus any attack would be worthless as the facilities are way underground and well armored. Invasion as Iraq proved is quite out of the question. The best response is to let them have there toys and let them know that they have now made themselves targets for our nuclear arsenal. This kind of deterrence has worked to keep nuclear powers in line before and will again. No matter if the govt is full of religious or political fanatics in the end they are human and don't want to die if it can be avoided.

Because Isreal is a free State. The American government is working on ways to produce energy so that we no longer have to rely on middle eastern oil.

A nuclear power station in Iran is not bad. However the 'fuel' (enriched uranium or plutonium) can be used for composing an atomic bomb. The politicians are afraid for that. So do I.

A nuclear weapon is a weapon which derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions of fission or fusion. As a result, even a nuclear weapon with a relatively small yield is significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives, and a single weapon is capable of destroying an entire city.\n\nIn the history of warfare, nuclear weapons have been used only twice, both during the closing days of World War II. The first event occurred on the morning of August 6, 1945, when the United States dropped a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The second event occurred three days later when a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. The use of these weapons, which resulted in the immediate deaths of around 100,000 to 200,000 individuals and even more over time, was and remains controversial — critics around the world charged that they were unnecessary acts of mass killing, while others claimed that they ultimately reduced casualties on both sides by hastening the end of the war. This topic has seen increased debate recently in the wake of increased terrorism involving killings of civilians by both state and non-state players, with parties claiming that the end justifies the means (see Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for a full discussion).\n\nSince the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, nuclear weapons have been detonated on over two thousand occasions for testing and demonstration purposes. The only countries known to have detonated such weapons are (chronologically) the United States, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, France, People's Republic of China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. Various other countries may hold nuclear weapons but have never publicly admitted possession, or their claims to possession have not been verified. For example, Israel has modern airborne delivery systems and appears to have an extensive nuclear program with hundreds of warheads (see Israel and weapons of mass destruction), though it officially maintains a policy of "ambiguity" with respect to its actual possession of nuclear weapons. Iran currently stands accused by a number of governments of attempting to develop nuclear capabilities, though its government claims that its acknowledged nuclear activities, such as uranium enrichment, are for peaceful purposes. South Africa also secretly developed a small nuclear arsenal, but disassembled it in the early 1990s. (For more information see List of countries with nuclear weapons.)\n\nApart from their use as weapons, nuclear explosives have been tested and used for various non-military uses.

yes, they are developing "bunker buster" cruise missles that "dig" underground and explode. They also make "tactical nukes" which are essentially low yeild nukes fired from a cannon. and there is of course the uranium shells used by U.S. tanks in Iraq. They use uranium to harden the steel of the shells to better pierce armor, although these are not specifically "nukes" they have a lot of the nasty side effects like cancer causing radiation. I don't know if the U.S. still makes ICBM's, but I'm pretty sure they do. I know the most recent ICBM's are multiple warheads essentially 7 nukes in one, each with a blast zone exponentially larger than Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

A branch of Islamic is Muslim, and it's the Muslims that are doing all the stuff in the Middle East. The suiside bombings and stuff like that. I'm not sure if this guy is a Muslim, but the president of Iran wants Isreal blown off of the map. Let's just say that we better not give this guy any uranium!

Isreal is an allay to the U.S.A, its is even more of a state for the united states than another country, if USA make sure that Isreal are powerful enough they are sure that the can contol the middle east, therefore it wont complain about isreal's nuclear power, in fact, USA helps israel's nuclear power become more.\nSince USA doesnt complain about israel's nuclear power all other contries in the world wont even dare to come close to this area in order to protect its realtions with the USA

Its basically a deterrant to keep other nations from using them.  So say for example, Iran nukes Israel, then the other club members would be required to obliterate all of Iran as punishment.  Even in the afghanistan mountains, the US only used conventional bombs and not nukes.

The Isralies were retaliating for your Islamo-Fascist comrades shooting rockets into Israel. Didn't you hear, \n\nTHERE IS NO PALESTINIAN AIR FORCE. \n\nI SERIOUSLY DOUBT THEY HAVE TANKS. \n\nTHEY HAVE HOMICIDAL BOMBERS WHO ARE MAINLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN BECAUSE THE MEN ARE NOT BRAVE ENOUGH.

Those people are nut's ,,give them nuke's they send people to suicide bomb in Tel Aviv what the hell are they gonna do with a nuke weapon\n\nand just so you know ,when Bush was waiting for sanction's to work Saddam just moved the WMD to Syria. they had a illegal pipeline to them all during the sanction's.\n\nIran should never be allowed nuke's\nthey are a murderous regime run by a theocracy.they probably write Allah Akbar on the missile they send into isreal.
