Why isn't America the United Nations pressuring Israel to disarm their nukes?

Because bothe US and Israel are run by and conrolled by the same people, and they think its ok for them to have all the power and Nuclear weapons .. while any other country is not allowed to have such power even if it's to defend itself.\neven if Iran isn't planning to use its nukes that won't stop the US from disarming it and everyone else! Double standards and hypocrisy and whatever lame excuses they can come up with to justify WAR with anyone who opposes them!!

Because the nuclear powers got together decades ago and made a series of agreements prohibiting the spread of nuclear weapons to other nations, in an effort to prevent it from getting out of hand.  By preventing nukes from spreading willy-nilly around the world, and controlling the nuclear capable powers, it limited the number of nations that had to be convinced to destroy the nukes and remove the threat.\n\nOf course, the fallacy with that theory is that, "once the genie is out of the bottle, it is really tough to get it back in."  In other words, now that we know how to make nuclear weapons, we can't make that knowledge just vanish by destroying the nukes that currently exist, which is why there are still nuclear capable nations in the world.\n\nIran is one of many non-nuclear powers that are signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), stating for all to see that they would never, ever try to become nuclear capable, either by buying them from other countries or making them for themselves.\n\nNow they've been caught preparing to make fission weapons (there's no need to enrich uranium other than to make bombs -- don't let anyone fool you into believing that they need enriched uranium for power reactors -- that's just BS)) and are threatening to withdraw from the NPT so they can build bombs that they can use then on Israel and anyone who threatens them in any way.  Oh, and they can then sell them to Islamic extremists/terrorists to use on whomever they decide to hate that day (like the U.S.).\n\nDoesn't that just make your day?

Although they don't advertise it, Israel has had nuclear weapons since the 70's.  Unofficial open source estimates of about 60 or so weapons in their stockpile.

As you may know Henry Kissinger, US Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon & Ford says "Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs.---" and it is really one of the places that Israel helps US, they are always afraid of Israel and they spend lots of money buying military equipment and support.\nYou must know that Israel has one the most advanced armies in middle east and US provides it the most advanced weapons e.g. F-16 aircraft which Israel even improve it also a huge Nuke warehouse and this army has done many operations for US, In Operation Yonathan (originally known as the Entebbe raid or Operation Thunderbolt), Israeli commandos freed French and Israeli hostages and wiped out most of the air forces of Uganda. They also rescued all but one hostage (shot accidently) and with only one casualty, the leader, Yoni.\nLong time ago Middle East was where three known continents contact each other so everyone who was dreaming about conquering the world had passed middle east e.g. Alexander the Great, Chingiz the Mongol. \nToday there is no such limits so the only reason that middle east is a strategic point in OIL.\nFact is Oil cant be produced in an unstable country because it is flamable itself and need lots of pipeline to transfer so there must be stable countries in unstable atmosphere.\nThats the greatest Help Israel gives US\nWhat reported on Media is something for common people who think Iraq had a main role in 9/11(which is proved false) but US helps for Israel isn't classified e.g. Israel have requested 1.2 billion dollars from US for their August withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, which is "supplemental" to Israel's foreign aid share of 3-4 billion

israel can occupy where ever they want to as long as they can kill enough people to do it and have the united states to back them up. historically they have never been able to do very much on their own.

Really doubt it, I think Israel with destroy any attempts of nuclear fission, as they did in Iraq.\nIf the discussions carry on the same way, then the US & EU will enforce sanctions, probably with the backing of Russia & China.\nIran may inflate the price of Oil, which could be an issue, as they're the 4th largest supplier in the World... & the US could go in to sieze the oil fields, as they did in Iraq.

I don't think America would like to be the ones to let the Genie out of the bottle again. See, we used the bomb to end WW2 and saved not only American Lives, but Japanese lives too. It was estimated that over a MILLION people would die if we invaded Japan.\n\nThe trouble with nukes is they are area wide weapons. It takes out everyone, good people, kids, bad people, and anything else in that area. America would much rather try to do things conventional if they could.\n\nI think that we need to send the message, world wide, that if a nuke goes off, or a dirty bomb in the US, what ever country support that group that committed that crime, will be visited by us. We will bring the million degrees of heat and they supply the sand and we will turn their country into a glass parking lot.\n\nWe cant let terrorist run our country, even with threats of attack. We have to stand strong, or bend over and kiss it good bye cause, they will come after us if we leave Iraq undone and incomplete.\n\nAre you listening Democrats???? Then who are you going to blame for that attack????

not at all, the israeli army has the upper hand with all the weapons they have.  They kill women and children for no reason, did you hear on the news this morning, 8 children were killed while they were sleeping!! 8 poor kids what did they ever do to the israeli arm??\nwhen the US was handing out land to the Jews it should have considered giving up part of its own land because the way i see it this conflict will never end.

Thank you for asking this question. We need the whole world  very aware of this subject. The U.S would bring a lot of support that Israel cannot do on itself. Iran has pretty much everybody else on it;s side. But I know the U.S wouldn't just want to support Israel out of goodwill they would ask for somethig in return, but hey it would totally be worth it cause we all know the U.S rocks at fihgint poor countries :-P. sorry I needed a lil politcal humor in there. \n\nAnywho, I'm nto supportive of any war, it's useless in my opinion but it's never gonna stop happening. It's just the way it is and I quote Vonnegut "So it goes". So yeah! Israel all the way.

Israel is the single root cause of all of the instability in the ME.\nTheir refusal to comply with UN resolutions and withdraw from Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian land they have occupied (stolen) since 40 years has created the issue we have today.\nThe problem is the USA supports and vetoes any UN resolution blindly with regards to Israel.\nYet the USA wishes to apply any UN resolutions against the Arabs by military force.\nUntil the USA and Israel act in an honourable way their will never be peace.

Israel is a lot less likely to be firing off nuclear weapons at their enemy-of-the-week than Iran is.  But who has the right to develope them and who doesn't - I don't know.   The US and the UN want to be the Police of the World, and that seems to cause more problems than it solves.

If America is so supportive of giving land to people who were killed in masses by an oppressive government than why haven't they given blacks their 40 acres and a mule yet? They coukld use all the money our government gives in Isael's miltary under the table to purchase the land. Israel recieved more money from the US than any other country and the US military baking them is why they have the right to exist. That and the fact they can have an Atomic weapon but no country around them that they threaten to use it on can.

A country like Iran that has pursued nuclear weapons and long-range rockets and has vowed to destroy a Democracy (Israel) should not be trusted, noteven with materials that could be used to further their nefarious aims.  Would they even hesitate to supply such weapons to terriorists?  Do you want to take that chance?  Just having nuclear WMD would allow them to intimidate their neighbors.  No one would dare try to stop them from equipping even more suicide bombers or organizing the powers on earth that have no regard for innocent human life, including yours.

USA & Israel are one power in two countries!\nThey don't want any power except them.\nIran and too many times has told the world that they don't want the nuclear factories for weapons or war, but for other peaceful things such as electric generation.\nReferring to what Mr. “devilmoor86” said I want to tell that nobody will threaten USA and nobody wants to kill USA’s people, I think U.S.A is killing people in Iraq & other countries… why? Of course not for peace!! For Oil & other economical resources.\nNote: also I want to tell that too many Americans are dieing in Iraq, why??!!\nWhy war?\nWhy killing human?\n{answer me & win points ;)}

The Israeli incursion into Lebannon was not wildly supported in Israel.  Some American Jews moved to Israel in a show of support, but the US media did not report the serious divide between the Israeli harliners and the majority of their citizens.\n\nBefore France opens fire they will bring the issue to the security council.

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.
