America's publicly stated official policy was "nuclear non-proliferation." No exceptions.
Was Kennedy anti-semitic?
Israel should have the means to defend itself from the Islamic neighbors that surround it. I’m assuming that the Israelis were worried that it’s neighbors who had dealings with the Soviet Union would ask the Soviets for assistance, if not being an outright supplier, of a nuclear weapon for the purpose of “eradicating the Zionist scum”.
Just a thought.
Not exactly clear on the “when,” but I remember learning about how while, on one hand, the US was against nuclear proliferation, but on the other hand we wanted Israel to be able to protect itself.
At the time it was compared to “Lend/Lease” before WWII. We didn’t want to be directly involved, but we wanted to help the UK. Similarly, we weren’t going to launch OUR nukes in defense of Israel, but if they just happen to have a secret nuke program and can defend themselves, that works.
We’ll just leave these plans for a nuclear weapon laying right here...
Oh Goodie. I wondered when you would post another of “the Joos did it” thread.
Anti-Semite Much?
Speaking of nukes, I keep reading about Israel possessing nuclear weapons.
What I haven’t read, is ANY TESTS the Israelis have made.
This is all speculation.
I remember back in the late 1970s or early ‘80s when a huge storm was off the coast of South Africa. There was spotted a massive lightning flash.
The US accused Israel and South Africa(still under White Control) of colluding together to test a nuclear weapon in that storm.
It was finally agreed the flash was actually was a massive lighting bolt.
Israel already had that nuclear knowledge when JFK was president.
This report is a very careless attempt at rewriting history
Israel has nuclear weapons. Israel has never tested a nuclear weapon. How does Israel know they work? They are our designs and our weapons work.
