"Every nation surrounding Israel seems to "accept" it's 200-400 nukes and it's large and well (US) equipped military. Is Israel special?"

Yup. They are the ones who live in a completely hostile neighborhood so indeed they always need superior weaponry. As far as the 200-400 nukes, what use do they provide. Zero. What has happened is that gap iis closing because of iran/syria/hiz. This is a direct threat to israel. You see that. So it has led to war and maybe what sun says is true and iran is willing to enter into a deal that protects them both. Remember israel has to win every war for it to survive. The Arabs only have to win one. Maybe this war produces a treaty between israel and lebanon, syria and iran and somehow turns Hizbolla inward. I am not holding my breath.
