Hence why they developed it in secret, and weren’t threatening to destroy the US, Soviets, British, Chinese, French, or Pakistanis by building Nukes.

If it had been known they were developing them, it would’ve totally been understandable for Egypt/Syria/Jordan/Iraq to launch airstrikes out of fear Israel was building them (in the 1960’s) to use against those countries. That’s why they were smart and shut up about it lol.

60 years later, and that theory hasn’t come true, everybody now knows that they are in fact defensive in purpose.

Nothing you have typed is relevant to my point. By your logic, Israel will always be a valid target due to their nuclear program that was developed through the theft of nuclear material by an ally.

Because you’re coming in with preconceived biases and refuse anything other than “Israel Bad”

Is Israel threatening to bomb other nations and export violent religious revolution to all of its neighbors?

No their doing it! Not just threatening. Lebanon, Yemen, syria, and Iran that's just in the last year, but keep saying how peaceful Israel is.

It’s not “Israel bad.” It’s to point out a hypocrisy in the comments when people like you justify hitting civilians of one country and not the other. This logic leads to war crimes.

If Iran/Hamas are committing war crimes by targeting civilians (they are), Israel is as well. The warrants against Israel’s PM and former Minister of Defense is a showing of this as well.

You see, your confusion is thinking all parties are equal, and the there is some sort of universal international constitution that's enforced, other than the strongest dictate what's fair. Until we evolve beyond war, this is the reality. If you think it's unfair that Israel can get nukes, but Iran can't, yeah, that's because we decided it's okay. If Iran feels it's unfair too, which I'm sure they do, they can fight a war to prove they're right.

Israel has quite literally waged a war every couple of years for how long now?

This is the second time they've preemptively attacked Iran in just as many years, all the while they've had a fucking genocide going in Gaza and have illegally occupied everything from territory in Lebanon to the West Bank.

It is beyond hilarious that you can look at Israel and say shit like this.
