Israel has at least two hundred and possibly as many as four hundred nuclear weapons, some of which can reach most mideast capitals, yet no one discusses an attack upon Israel by the US government. Why is that? Israel is a genuine threat to its' neigbors, has attacked its' neighbors repeatedly, and threatens to do so again.

Israel is a Democratic country with a democraticly elected Prime Minister. It's recent attacks on it's neighbors were against Hezbollah, a group that openly admits their goal of whiping Israel off the map.
