“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:

    The only humane choice is total disarmament and deterrence with an empty gun, which will never happen of course.

    unfortunately I think the only way we’ll regress to sticks and stones is long after just such an apocalypse and all the leftovers get used up. because we’re certainly not intelligent enough to recognize the danger.

    just the US alone… the idea that Trump’s insanity is next to the football 24/7 should make anyone sick if they can read and have half a brain.

    ironically climate change will take a few decades to really start slaughtering people and we see it coming, but are ignoring the problem, just like nuclear weapons.

    fuck my species, they’re too clever and too fucking dumb all at the same time.
