anyway for what gives the right for israel to have nuclear weapons when its leaders sanction bombings of 'terrorist targets' irrespective of the civilian deaths caused? I bet there are thoussands of israelis going around citing death to all its arab neighbours, but there's no problem with them having weapons....

Iraq has in the past attacked Israel unprevoked on many occasions.
Perhaps that will open your eyes as to why Israel took the pre-emptive action to prevent such a threat.
Israel has not signed the NPT. Iran has.
No leader of Israel has called for another nation and it's population to be wiped out.
The majority of Israelis just want to live in peace, hence why they've created such good trading relationships with their neighbours.
Who do you think supplies most of the middle east's disalination technology?
Remember it was Israel's neighbours who created the "palestinian" problem (exasserbated by Israel's subsiquent actions) by trying to incite them to riot and kill all the jews. Instead they fled into their neighbouring arab nations, where they were not welcomed. Instead they were put into camps and treated like dirt (to put it politely) by their muslim brothers, and used as a weapon against Israel.
Why do you think Egypt didn't want Gaza back during the land for peace negotiations which saw the return of Sinai? Egypt refused to take Gaza back because it was full of palestinians.
If a nation called for Britain to be wiped of the planet and all british people along with it, would you object to them being alowed to develope the means, or would you stand by and let them get on with it?

Exactly.
Come on, we've got people in this country who think East Anglia is abroad
One of the interesting things I heard recently was from the US chaplin who's an imam.
He said that most Iraqi's didn't know that muslims existed in the US, let alone outside the middle east!
