"Contrast that with Israeli rhetoric. One there hasn't been any. "

should read: Contrast that with Israeli rhetoric. There hasn't been any public rhetoric.

I do not know what has been said to the various Arab leaders in private. I guess it went like this "You kill me, I kill you"

"Chemical defoliants used by the army against Palestinian lands, including Ain el-Beida in 1968, Araqba in 1972 and Mejdel Beni Fadil in 1978; Armed nuclear missiles in the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli wars; Chemical weapons in the 1982 war on Lebanon, including hydrogen cyanide, nerve gas and phosphorus shells;In the 1980s lethal gases against Palestinian civilians and Palestinian, Lebanese and Israeli Jewish prisoners.

There is no proof that this ever happened."

The Iraqi government denied that they used nerve gas on the Kurds. Denial is nothing new.

"Israel is a very small country surrounded by a number of nations whose leaders are often quoted as saying they want to kill all the Jews. The Iranian Mullahs have even gone so far to suggest that they will nuke Israel the moment they have the capability."

Which is why the Israelis have WMDs.

"Not much different than the US vs USSR."
Not much different if the Arabs have WMDs that balance those of the Israelis, which I doubt. The only Arab country with nuclear weapons is Pakistan, Iran may get them if they don't get stopped. As to CBs, they are so easily produced compared to nuclear weapons that I suppose that some countries in the area may have them. But I don't know that.
