  Yes - it is suspected to be a joint project. We will never really know though as neither side will ever admit to it.

  Yes. John Bowden wrote a great book on this very virus and goes into details on this.

      How so? I can see their comment just fine, but I'm reading this on a 3rd party app.

        I had to vouch for the comment to reply to it. I also looked back through the history and saw some perfectly acceptable comments showing as dead.

>Maybe with the blessing of the US this time? Has Israel ever done anything without the US's blessing? Just wondering.

  Well, 40 years ago it attacked the Iraqi nuclear facility with the help of Iran and prevented Saddam from getting the bomb.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera

    > On 7 June 1981, a flight of Israeli Air Force F-16A fighter aircraft, with an escort of F-15As, bombed the Osirak reactor deep inside Iraq. Well, the fighter jets and weapons system platform (a pair of Mark-84 unguided bombs fitted to each aircraft) they used in those airstrikes were made by aerospace companies in the United States (General Dynamics and McDonnel Douglas), so I think American companies did have a role to play, however indirectly. There's no denying Israel wouldn't exist today (at least not the form it presently exists) if not for the timely and generous support and assistance (militarily, monetarily and in spirit) from the United States of America -- just an observation!

      one of the rare occasions that Israel has taken independent action. From what i've read, some of Carters cabinet were furious but he refused to issue sanctions against Israel.

Why would Biden give the blessing now of all times, right before the deal. Why would he not wait and see how to deal goes first? The place just opened it's not like it'll pump out bombs within a day.
