I found the talk to be boring. The speaker is undoubtedly very bright and well informed, but not easy to listen to. He repeats his point with multiple words, adjectives, and redundancies. I grew very weary waiting for him to get to the point.Written on Jan 24 2012

The Worst-Kept Secret: Israel's Bargain with the Bomb by Avner Cohen
Israel has made a unique contribution to the nuclear age. It has created a special "bargain" with the bomb. Israel is the only nuclear-armed state that does not acknowledge its possession of the bomb, even though its existence is a common knowledge throughout the world. It only says that it will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons to the Middle East.
