Tell us something we DON'T know

So Israel has 150 nuclear weapons, is it any wonder Iran wants to acquire them especially given Israel's penchant for launching air raids on its neighbours that have tried to develop them (Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007)? North Korea has shown that if one has nuclear weapons, even the world's only superpower will hesitate to attack you. North Korea has intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of 7000 miles, that can carry a nuclear payload - there are a number of American cities within the 7000 mile range.

The world is indebted to Mordechai Vanunu for risking his life to blow the whistle on Israel's nuclear program yet he remains a prisoner of the Israeli state, despite having been released from prison - the head of Shin Bet vowed that Mordechai Vanunu will NEVER leave Israel. Why is Mordechai Vanunu's heroism not feted?

Israel has nuclear weapons, Iran should have nuclear weapons after all, Israel has attacked more countries than Iran. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander so if the IAEA wants Iran to divulge details of its nuclear program, Israel should be required to do the same. But wait a minute, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others!!
