“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:

    Yeah Mutually Assured Destruction is a helluva thing isn’t it?

    Antisemitic types that want another holocaust might be butt-hurt over this, but most people understand that all nukes are bad, but Israel’s nukes aren’t somehow worse than those owned by Russia, USA, China, UK, France, North Korea, India, or Pakistan. Every one of those countries would nuke another country if they became an existential threat to them. But why are you upset over Israel having nukes and don’t worry at all about the other eight countries that have them?

    Oh right, because they’re Jews.

    Feel free to your rationalizations over why your feelings on this aren’t rooted in antisemitism below this comment.
