If we can justify attacking Iraq based on the fact they may produce WMD's and sell em to terrorists, then Isreal can easily use the same model to justify a pre-emptive strike against an enemy that is much closer to home and much more likely to attack it.

The same goes for India and Pakistan. And both those countries have nukes of their own.
Johnny, were Israel to nuke Iran, Israel wouldn't exist more than a week after that. No country would support them. I doubt even the US would have troubles supporting them after that... And Israel can't survive on it's own.
