Israel has a stockpile of somewhere between 75 and several hundred nuclear warheads and possesses advanced means of delivery, and it is not a party to the NPT. Now read this article. If the IDF really wants to hide its capabilities from the world, it may want to investigate some real estate in Pinch Sulzberger's lower GI tract, because all evidence suggests they could put an ICBM literally up the man's ass without him or any of his employees noticing.

Of that which we cannot speak, we must remain silent.
"Mideast Nuclear Race" = two-timin' Ah-rabs.
Short of the dictatorship of Avigdor Lieberman and a sea change in the modus operandi of the IDF, I cannot envision a scenario where the Israeli state uses its nukes without prior US approval.
@Jack: the point of having nukes isn't to use them. You have any idea of the paperwork that'd take? All those missile techs having to put into practice long-dormant SOPs, all those nasty questions from the uncooperative press afterward. Plus, then you'd have one less nuke.
The point of having nukes is either to keep the world safe for freedom (U.S.) or to threaten peace-loving nations while stroking one's evil beard (Iran, North Korea, etc). They do their job just fine gathering dust.
I know this watch is real I just paid 10 dollars for it!
Prof,
Generally, I agree, with a giant caveat: nukes only "work" as a passive big stick because that stick still has Japanese blood on it.
And the memory of that blood wears thin...
Number of children killed by small arms weaponry since 1990 = approx 2 million.
Number of children killed by nuclear weaponry since 1990 - 0.
Fuck nuclear bombs, buy Uzi stock today!
@AS
Chil'unz!
CHILUNZ!
CHIIILUUNZ!!!!
What, it took 20 years to kill two million? Out of a populace of 6+ billion?
Comrade AS, ye olds like Djugashvilli and Schicklegruber would laugh at the ineptitude!?! To kill 0.03% of population that was to be accomplished in two weeks, a month at the most!
Capt'n Obvious
I guess he likes it rough.
