Who is the real nuclear threat: Israel or Iran?
A sharp argument that Washington has the nuclear threat backwards — bad news for the US-Israel alliance, and a challenge to both parties in Congress.
- Israel, not Iran, is the bigger nuclear danger, having built a secret arsenal using material and secrets taken from the US.
- Israel has repeatedly threatened to use those weapons, yet faces none of the scrutiny aimed at Iran.
- America is fighting Iran on Israel's behalf while Israel pushes to take more land in Lebanon.
- The US would be better off making a deal with Iran, where there is real money to be made, and cutting loose the ally that keeps dragging it into wars and debt.
- Democrats and Republicans alike are accused of putting a small foreign country ahead of American interests.
Outlook: Expect the pressure campaign on Iran to continue, with no sign either party will start questioning Israel's own nuclear program.
