definately israel's nuclear facilities are a threat to the region and world in general. its nuclear capability makes its neighbors neveous and makes them want to get the nukes as well for which it calls on USA to destroy and bomb so they cant develope means to protect its self.
Are israels weapons of mass destruction a threat to the world, Middle east and humanity? Yes they are clear cut! some of you might think its "anti-semite" and that israel has a god given right to "protect" its self and has the right defend it self... but so do other nations, people and cultures!

Dimona Nuclear Reactor a Threat to the Region
Hassan Tahsin
In 1986 Shimon Perez, prime minister of Israel, issued orders for Mossad, the country’s intelligence agency, to kidnap the scientist Mordechai Vanunu who worked at Israel’s Dimona Nuclear Plant. Vanunu had gone to England where, in an interview with the Sunday Times, he confirmed that Israel had an arsenal of nuclear weapons. He later disappeared and then reappeared in Israel where he was tried and convicted of revealing sensitive military information.
Last Wednesday Israel finally released Vanunu after 18 years imprisonment. He cannot, however, leave Israel for a year. The government does not want him to reveal still more information about Israel’s nuclear capabilities.
On the website of one Israeli newspaper, Vanunu wrote: “Dimona’s nuclear reactor must be removed from the desert and destroyed because it has become a threat to the region. I am neither a spy nor a traitor; I only wanted to let the world know what was really happening at Dimona.â€
There have been two converging internal trends in Israel, one demanding a nuclear-free zone and another calling for nuclear choice. In June 1966, 55 Israeli professors issued a statement entitled, ‘The Committee for Nuclear Disarmament of the Arab-Israeli Region.†They asked the Israeli government to take the initiative to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the Middle East. What they wanted, however, is not what has happened.
Today in light of demands for a new Middle East — isn’t it important that the region be free from nuclear weapons and WMD? That it be safe from unexpected nuclear catastrophes such as the explosion of the Dimona reactor or nuclear leakage?

Israel has gone through a period of extensive discussions over its nuclear choices and in 1966, more than 20 scientists and professors from the Hebrew University demanded that limits be set to nuclear power in the region. They warned that possession of nuclear weapons by any Arab country would result in the annihilation of Israel, even if Israel had the same weapon. A single Arab strike would destroy Israel completely while a single strike by Israel against Egypt, for example, would not destroy the country because of its dense population and geographic extent.
