Israel was
The first
Middle East country
To obtain
Nuclear arms.
The Israeli
Nuclear program
Started a few years
After the foundation
Of the state
And was
Eminently successful.
After accumulating
A considerable
Nuclear arsenal
Israeli defined
A firm policy:
Not to allow
Any other country
In the region
To obtain
Nuclear weapons.
The Israeli Air Force
Destroyed the
Nuclear programs
Of Iraq and Syria.
The Iranian
Nuclear program
Is widespread
And hidden
Deeply underground.
It is difficult
To move against it
Militarily.
Instead, Israel is
Demanding of
The Americans
And the Europeans,
To exert
All their force
To prevent Iran from
Obtaining nuclear weapons.
At the same time,
Israel expects
The Americans
And the Europeans
To promote
And facilitate
Israel’s own
Nuclear program.
For example,
To provide Israel,
At the German
Taxpayers’ expense,
With submarines fitted
For launching
Nuclear-tipped missiles,
From mid-ocean.
For several decades
The world has accepted
As an indisputable
Axiom that
Israel and
Israel alone
Is allowed to have
Nuclear weapons
In the Middle East.
Why, in fact?
Did God,
When promising
“The Promised Land”
Also promise the Jews
A nuclear monopoly
In the Middle East?
