“Israel could “bring down the pillars of the world (attack Moscow and European capitals for instance)” as well as the “holy places of Islam.” and that the “abandonment of proportionality is the essence” of the Samson Option.” - Ron Rosenbaum

”For the first time in history, a people facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks away—have the power to destroy the world. The ultimate justice?” - David Perlmutter

In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. The Israeli Ambassador informed President Richard Nixon that “very serious conclusions” may occur if the United States did not airlift supplies. Nixon complied. This is seen by some commentators on the subject as the first threat of the use of the Samson Option.

Here is a map showing countries that are within Israel’s nuclear targeting range:

    I’m downvoting people here for being unreasonable asswipes, but I’m not Zionist and support the end of Israel’s violence against Palestinians. I also support the dissolution of Hamas and Hezbollah, and the imprisonment of Netanyahu. But a lot of people on Lemmy seem like they’re antisemite shills or bots, who want an end to Israel as a state, and those people can go fuck themselves.

      Yes, but you’re the one calling it Israeli violence not genocide, and writing the z word with a capital.

          No I’m saying your words and certain lack of words reveal you’re probably an apologetic Jew.

          I know it must be confusing, but “supporting the end of violence” is not how a sane person who has seen the (last) reports of each of the (murdered) journalists talks about this situation.
