Both Robert and Nick brought A Games and did a good job, but I have to say this...
It's crazy to think the U.S. would be safer if Palestinians became a majority in Israel and controlled its nuclear arsenal. Especially if you think the Jewish lobby is a bigger threat.

Few misnomers about the history of the Israeli nuclear weapons program.
British (uranium-235 in 59) and Norwegian (plutonium in 66, as well as Argentina selling them yellow-cake, fueled it.
Kennedy opposed it before their first operational nuclear weapon built in 1966.

In fact, we did try to stop Argentina from selling Israel yellow cake, and the British and Norwegians were only caught because of leaked documents.
Kennedy & Johnson oversaw inspections, and were duped, while Nixon ended them but was VERY concerned it would lead to an arms race.
