I wonder what the ramifications would have been if the Japanese had known we'd blown both our only nukes after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I think his show-boating threatens the lives of every man, woman, and child in Israel.  

Answer 6

His case highlighted the double-standard adopted by the west on this issues of nuclear proliferation. It's OK for some countries to develop nuclear bombs, but not for others. Having taken the position that Israel can develop the bomb, we should just let others get on with it. Otherwise, we should just say no to all, including Paskistan and India, both countries on whom the west had leverage.

He was too harshly treated. As a whistle-blower he is admired for his bravery and sacrifice. As spilling state secrets, he should have been giving 6 months and set free and not harassed.
