Zachary Keck, National Post: The American Who Paid for Israel's Nuclear Bomb

While it is from time to time easy to poke fun, belittle the American press when it screws up, goes astray, I note here the posted article all about the Israel A Bomb arsenal and how it was paid for by an American man of wealth.
What does that then tell us about how the bomb got built? We now know the funding. But did Israel do this on its own? NOPE. They had the aid of a foreign country and that nation was not the United States.
Then which nation was it? THIS IS HOW IT GOT BUILT
How it got built is as important as how it got funded
