Nuclear free Middle East? Yes, but....
This is on target.There is no doubt that a Middle East free from nuclear weapons serves everyone's interests but how can you ask a country threatened by illegitimate Genocidal maniacs asking for its destruction openly to relinquish its nuclear weapons aimed at protecting its citizens and not seek to stop the same maniacs from acquiring nuclear weapons aimed at either destroying others or protecting their own perpetuity?And that's not likely to happen anytime soon.
RPS [Reform Party of Syria] supports a nuclear free Middle East once violent and unaccountable authoritarian regimes are replaced by responsible democracies."
I can only add that a it shouldn't just be nuclear free but WMD free. No sense in leaving chemical and biological weapons hanging around if you're going to ban the nukes.

No. It's not in Israel's interest to ever stop having nukes. There's always the chance a nuke would fall into the hands of a fanatical jihadist (say a Pakistan taken over by Al Qaeda), and the only way to possibly deter such people is to have nukes yourself.
Speaking of this, funny how none of the nuke-free propositions target Pakistan, where there's a real danger of nukes getting into the wrong hands. That's because Israel tried for too long to play along with the internatioal community and tried to get itself loved. Wrong and impossible strategy - it should instead make others fear it.
