Is that the same thing as saying "WITHOUT any help from the US",or does it just say the French and the South Africans were also involved?". Hey,we all know how much the French love Jews,so it's no surprise they would help the Israeli's,right? Or could it be that the French involvement was with South Africa,and then South Africa made a business deal with Israel? A business deal where the South Africans were a "cut out" to hide US involvement,either official or unofficial?

The French will sell anything to anyone. The only question is 'How much?'.

South Africa had its own problems back then.

The Jews didn't need U.S. help. They have brilliant scientists, home grown. The only help the South Africans gave them was a place to test the weapon. In exchange (I am guessing) Israel gave South Africa technology.

However much you or anyone else hates Israel, 400 nukes are in the equation, now and forever.

BTW. I ain't Jewish, not by blood or faith. But if I was I would be more than OK with it.

So did the Soviets,yet Jewish scientists living in the US and working on the Manhattan Project managed to give A-Bomb secrets to the USSR. The Soviets managed to use our technology to develop their own A-Bomb before the British did,and the British were our allies and working on the program with us.

I'm thinking more than just technology. SA was being boycotted by a lot of nations back then.

You need to be VERY clear on this. I do NOT hate Israel. I even admire Israel and the Israelis. The people I hate are the Jews who are American citizens,yet betray us because they love Israel more than they love the US.

I'm not Jewish either,and am ok with them having nukes anyhow. I would prefer that WE were the only ones to have them,but this isn't the reality we have to live with. Isreal has them,and it is plain to everyone why they think they need them. As long as the religious nutcases never totally take over in Israel,there is no danger (in MY opinion) of the Israelis using them in a first strike against anyone. In fact,I'm a lot more comfortable with Israel having nukes than I am Pakistan or India,not to mention North Korea.
