Not a bit at a time, not with concessions, just returned.
That might have been possible at one time, but that little '67 war thingy and the one that followed a few years later, now followed by Iran going after a nuke, I doubt that will ever happen. But I bet you that the Persians would be willing to sacrifice the Arabs just to drop the big one on Israel.

Tough, if they did not want Palestinians to have nukes when they were in the same state, they should not have gotten nukes.
We have nukes, the UK has nukes, Pakistan has nukes, Israel has em', all kinds of people in that area do... we have no right to tell Iran they can't have em'. If we want to stop doing business with em' over it... so be it.

I would suggest we stop telling them they can't have them and set one off with a special ops team from the Mossad at their factory, tell everybody it was an accident in their processing plant. Might put an end to the issue.

In international relations the whole notion of "rights" kinda goes right out the window. Without an established body of law, a governing organization, and international police, the basic disagreement about what "rights" are actually granted to various states is a big mess. It's sorta like, you have the "right" to walk through Harlem with a sign saying "I hate niggers" (ala Die Hard 3), but without policing, you can expect that your right really doesn't apply at all, and will be taken from you. Sure, your natural right still exists but your actual, real-life right will be revoked, along with many others of your rights.
