 Israel and the Bomb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Israel launched its nuclear-energy project in July 1955, when it signed an agreement with the United States for the purchase of a small nuclear research reactor under Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace program.
Intended by Israel to mollify the United States and to serve as preferred substitutes for more intrusive forms of inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), these visits were extremely problematic for a number of reasons.
In addition, Israel’s ambiguous nuclear posture may have limited the incentive of some Arab states to pursue their own nuclear weapons options, and it may even have hastened the conclusion of the peace treaty with Egypt in 1979, the Oslo accords with the Palestinians in 1993, and the peace treaty with Jordan in 1994.

"It is my considered opinion that the State of Israel is a racist state in the full meaning of this term: In this state people are discriminated against, in the most permanent and legal way and in the most important areas of life, only because of their origin.
This racist discrimination began in Zionism and is carried out today mainly in co-operation with the institutions of the Zionist movement." —Dr. Israel Shahak, "The Racist Nature of Zionism and of the Zionist State of Israel", Pi-Ha'aton (the weekly newspaper of the students of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem), 5 November 1975.

Dissatisfied with the 7.62mm NATO FN FAL with which the Israeli Army was largely equipped, as it has always been a poor performer in high sand and dust environments, Galili went directly into the field to investigate the problem (see "Weapons Wizard Israel Galili," SOF, March '82).
The Galil bipod is a sturdy, rigid affair, certified so by my memory of Israel Galili jumping wildly and theatrically on top of the rifle with its two steel legs extended.
It stands as testimony to the brilliance of Israel Galili as a military small-arms designer and is, without doubt, his crowning achievement to date.
