Israel's Future and Iran's Nuclear Program
Weiss, Leonard
Middle East Policy Journal, Fall 2009, v16, #3, pp79-89
The author argues that "characterizing Iran's nuclear program as an "existential threat" to Israel is an attempt to obtain support for sanctions and/or military action against Iran by conflating the physical destruction of Israel by a surprise nuclear attack, which Washington should actively work to prevent, with the demographic threats to the Zionist project, which the United States is under no obligation to alleviate."
Dr. Weiss is an affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation, Stanford University, and a consultant to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
