BTW, Would Iranians consider a mushroom cloud over Tehran 'an attempt at genocide'? By your logic, it would seem that nuclear weapons are weapons of genocidal intent by definition. In which case, I'd have to ask why the Israelis introduced them into the middle east.

To the first part....you saw an analogy that was not being made so it now belongs to you
.
Israel has nukes because their neighbors hate them, have attacked them multiple times, and many routinely speak of wiping them off the face of the earth. They have been attacked many times, but have never used nuclear weapons which they possess. I would say that speaks to their restraint and a mushroom cloud over Tehran is not going to happen unless it is a retaliatory strike.
C'mon, you know this. If Israel was going to use nukes offensively they would have done so by now. It doesn't fit your arguments, but you know it to be true (at least I hope you do).
