Do we need any more proof?
Do we need any more proof that the pro-Israel party is the Republican party? The Democrats take every opportunity to tear Israel down in favor of the Palestinians or other Middle East powers.
I am both Republican and pro-Israel. I am not Jewish, but have several friends who are, and they are just now seeing that their persistent political allegiance to the Democratic Party and their pro-Israel stance are at odds. As an outsider to Judaism, I cannot understand how this isn't more clear to those who would like to see Israel succeed.
To the issue at hand:
If Obama forces Israel to formally announce the existence of its nuclear program, and accept limitations on it as part of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, that will be a disaster. The ambiguity of Israel's statements about nukes is part of the deterrence it needs, for a nation that at its narrowest point is only 9 miles wide.
If Ahmadinejad gets a nuke, the first missile is going only one of two places: New York or Tel Aviv, depending on the range capability of the booster the warhead is mounted on.
