Gosh, I didn't realize that Israel threatens the Arab/Muslim world with nuclear anihilation. I've been aware of Israel voicing its determination to defend itself but I didn't know that it threatens other sovereign states. When did this occur, Bob? Specifics, please. I can, of course, cite you instances of the Muslim world threatening Israel with anhiliation. Why just today, the President of Iran did just that.

Israel sort of set up shop in a bad neighborhood, didn't they Shemp? If you bought a house in a crack neighborhood in Oakland I don't think you would have much luck demanding that the Oakland police give you extra special protection. Likewise Israel shouldn't be expecting the US to provide any extra special protection either.
