Sorry, I tend to assume you understand the concept of framing and use it as a debating tactic. Duly noted - you don’t understand, and require a fuller explanation.

The issue is not whether or not one or more nation gets to decide who is ‘allowed’ to have a nuclear bomb. The issue is whether one nation is allowed, under international law, to pre-emptively strike another in its own national defence. Israel has stated its reasons. The only relevant question is whether those reasons are credible. Badly framed questions, which misunderstand Israel’s actions as some sort of regional policing operation, miss the point and are more than a little tedious.

You’re never going to get a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer to a question where both the question, and the answer you want, are intended to score points rather than clarify issues. It’s sort of disappointing you’ve been engaged in discussions on this forum for so many years yet you’re still stuck trying to use tactics like the new boy at your school debating society.
