I'm not a big fan of Israel, for the fact they are a country based on a single faith occuping land that is the nexus point of many religions from around the globe. The land should be international land and belong to no one...
That said, I'd sooner trust Israel with nuclear weapons, bioweapons, and any other 'Weapon of Mass Destruction' before I'd trust Syria with a slingshot. History has shown the true aggressor time and time again.
