Sylvester, police have guns, criminals want guns. Israel has nukes, Iran wants nukes.
Note that Israel hasn't said it will wipe Iran off the map. Note that Iran has said it will wipe Israel off the map.
I know such analysis is only intelligible to registered international geopolitical experts like me, with sophisticated understanding of psychology and law, but I'm hoping my succinct explanation will show why it's reasonable for Israel to have nukes but not Iran.
Did you ever hear about Germans trying to exterminate all Jews? It really did happen and they murdered millions. When you think about that, it's understandable that those still alive don't fancy the idea of others having a go again, which Iran [and others] have stated is their aim.
I quite like police having sufficient weaponry to overpower violent thugs. I quite like Israel and the USA having nukes with which to make megalomaniacs like Islamic Jihad and China think twice, or more, about attacking Taiwan or Israel.
I think it's quite reasonable that the USA and Israel [and anyone else who is an infidel for that matter] conduct self-defence. Iran has said they'll do mass murder and they, or fellow travellers, have already done murder - heard of Salman Rushdie, or Van Gogh, or Stan Shaw, or many others? They intend to rule the world. We have seen such people before. They go on and on and on until somebody stops them, or they do rule the world.
