You see the stuff about that they were down blending 20% enriched Uranium (the picture with the description of how a centrifuge works) because of an agreement in 2013. You don't need 20% enriched Uranium for reactor fuel. As they haven't actually gotten rid of the means of producing this material, why do you believe that they aren't working for a bomb?

What is the reason? Is it because they're a war-mongering nation that starts wars against other sovereign nations?

Name one war started by Israel. All the wars I have seen Israel involved in were started by other countries/peoples (Palestinians)

Is it because we love apartheid?

There is no apartheid in Israel. The Palestinians prefer to live the way they live. They have been offered full citizenship by Israel (if they stop trying to destroy it) or new land in Egypt. They instead choose to live in those tiny regions that Israel legitimately took from Syria, Egypt and Lebanon during the six days war. If the UN decided that the US wasn't the legitimate owner of Texas, does that make it true?

Or is it that they stole the nuclear weapons program secrets from us and have agents riddled throughout the halls of power in the US?

Now you are just getting absurd. Israel didn't need to steal anything, France and Israel worked together to get the nuke.

The only country that went through the Arab Spring and maybe came out on the better end was Egypt and they had to beg the military to overthrow the legally elected government.

You mean the country where they are condemning people to death for supporting a political party? Where the political party that won the last election was outlawed as a terrorist organization and so even interviewing them for a TV program is considered supporting terrorism and punishable by death?

What you are missing in your whole attempt to tear apart what I said with your nonsensical responses is one singular word "marriage". Hindus and Buddhists have their own ceremony that they call something else; they don't call it marriage.

The word marriage does not predate Christianity, it comes from Christianity.

Call your union whatever you want, stop trying to steal a religious ceremony (holy matrimony) for your own purposes. Marriage is another name for Matrimony, with the same roots in Latin, they are not separate things. But I guess you are going to provide citations to dispute what Wikipedia says is the root of the word marriage? Other cultures have other names for it, and the theft of the name marriage for a civil union by the US is predated by the religious ceremony, so trying to claim that the "Marriage License" that is the discussion of this string of comments predates marriage as as ceremony in the christian church doesn't make sense. The US wasn't formed until 1776, so 1184 is clearly before that.

Countries that try to steal other people's property for the benefit of their people must be destroyed!

FTFY. When a country nationalizes oil, they are stealing from the people who paid for all the work/property that is in use in the oil fields. If you are ok with this, you should give all your property to the state because they need it more than you.
