Well, Israelis, Egyptians and just about everybody else says it's a peace treaty

Sorry, I should've been more clear. I was referring to the N. Korea-USA cease fire. There is a treaty between the Israelis, and Egyptians. My point was that a cease-fire is the same principle.
Exactly.

US has contingency plans for war with every country in the world. Some are more developed, some are less.

Exactly. It is the same with the Israelis, and the Egyptians.

If that is so then why are egyptian (and other Arab) purchases seen as destabilising and potential threat while Israeli are not? Even though even Israelis admit they enjoy arms superiority.
If you accept that there is some sort of balance in region (Israel has better arms, Arabs more) then any increase would have destabilising effects on it, wouldn't it? Yet only Arab ones are seen as such. Do you hear same worrying voices when Israel talks about purchasing F-22s or JSF?

The Israelis have proven that they only invade their neigbors in defense of themselves. Their neigbors on the other hand have invaded, or designed to invade, Israel without provocation 3 times. We don't worry about Israel purchasing advanced weapons because they have proven that they'll use them only when necessary, and in defence. Can you imagine what it would be like if the Arab nations (who, as I said, have invaded Israel repeatedly) had nuclear weapons?
