The Israeli Nuclear Program was and still is the best keeped secret in the world. What is known was "leaked" to deter the Arabs from launching a conventional or unconventional war against Israel. That's why Israel keep a "triada" defense system (Missiles, planes and subs), to make sure that if one or two of the defense systems are destroyed the rest can still fire back. The way is seen in Israel is that without nukes Israel would have had been overrun by Arabs already, and the jewish population exterminated like the Arabs leaders have promised to their people and as the Arab propaganda machine have been putting in their people minds since the creation of the Jewish State. For Israel nukes are a question of survival.

But the most important argument is that Israel had nukes for the Last 30 years, and have never used them.

Israel and South Africa developed their devices in a joint program. This is a well-known fact. But where did they get the equipment and know how that was needed to achieve the rapid development and deployment of the devices? Anyone? For a clue, look up the location of the test site.
