    This seems like a bad, revisionist take. France kick started Israel’s nuke program, and they tested their stuff with South Africa.

    During the development of their program, I don’t think the US and Israel were even on good terms.

      These things can never be truly confirmed, but rumor has it that their original stockpile of uranium came from US labs.
