I would guess that if Arab countries weren't constantly talking, planning and actually trying to wipe Israel from the face of the earth, they wouldn't have a NEED to develop nukes. Had they lived in peace for the last 50 years, they would be a peaceful democracy, more worried about the latest plasma screen TV's, and not the latest nuke's.
The ARAB'S are the one's who made it neccessary for Israel to have nukes.
they wouldn't have a NEED to develop nukes. They don't have a need now,unless it is to defend themselves against each other. Israel is no danger to them when it comes to first strikes,and neither is anyone else that has nukes.
