Middle East: Why should Israel alone be allowed to have nuclear weapons?

Israel should give up nuclear weapons http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/may/14/letter-israel-should-give-nuclear-weapons/ E.L. Hamilton 
Why does the United States insist that Israel be the only nation in
the Middle East with nuclear weapons? With Israel’s record, it should
be the last nation on Earth to have nuclear weapons.

At 2 p.m. on Oct. 6, 1973, Egypt attacked the Israelis across the Suez
Canal. The Israelis were caught off guard, and the Egyptians destroyed
their forces. As the situation deteriorated, Israeli Prime Minister
Golda Meir ordered the French-built Mirage planes loaded with nuclear
bombs. The nuclear missiles were also loaded on their launchers. One
plane was loaded on the runway ready for takeoff. Fortunately, the
planes were not launched.

Israel will never give up the West Bank or the Golan Heights. It needs
it for expansion. If it reaches this goal, it can then annex territory
from neighboring countries with no opposition for future expansion.

Either Israel should be forced to give up its nuclear weapons or
another Middle Eastern country should be permitted to have them as a
counterbalance to Israel.

Israel should be forced to give up the West Bank and the Golan Heights
even if it takes military force. This action would have to be taken by
some nation other than the United States, which is controlled by
Israel.ed May 14, 2013
