In the first decades
Of its existence,
Israel built
A large scaleNuclear program,
Long before
Any of its neighbors.
President John Kennedy
Opposed the
Israeli nuclear program,
Confronted Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion,
And demanded that
The nuclear reactor
In Dimona
Be open to
International inspection.
Ultimately, however,
The US came to
Accept Israel’s
Nuclear program.
It has been decades
Since it voiced
Any opposition
To that program.
Now Israel is horrified
At the possibility
That the US will treat
Iran’s nuclear program
In the same manner
That it has treated
Israel’s own program.
