Religious tomfoolery is also the root of why large swaths of the American public continue their unbridled uncritical support for the rogue nuclear nation of Israel. That Israel plays a key role in the nutty religious prophecies of various right wing doomsday evangelical cults around the US cannot be overlooked when considering the situation in the region.

Border disputes does not a rogue nation make. Else Pakistan and Israel and Russia and China and USA are rogue nations, which rather dilutes the term.

Israel's non-signatory status in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, combined with their refusal to admit the obvious truth of having nuclear weapons despite their not-so-coy threats of using nuclear weapons all combine to paint an unambiguous picture: Israel is a rogue state. They are dangerous; a threat to world peace.

To their credit, Russia, China and the USA are all signatories. Israel, North Korea, Pakistan and India are not (what wonderful company Israel finds itself in!); they are all rogue states. Of those all four have border disputes, all four have nuclear weapons, and all four have made themselves a threat to world peace. Of these four, Israel is the only one that continues to lie about having nuclear weapons.

If Israel does not qualify as a "rogue nuclear nation", then the term has certainly been diluted.
