This is Israel's strategy where if they believe that the State of Israel is at risk of being occupied/overrun, they will launch a massive nuclear strike against, well, everyone.

Why? It wouldn't end well for him.
Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts.
If they could they wouldve done so a long time ago. Anyone who launches nukes is instantly fucked unless they have the support from the test of the world. Pakistan already spoke of retribution if Israel did such a thing

I do have a fear that Israel feels emboldened enough with the backing of the US and other countries, to push buttons as far as they can. Netanyahu knew well of the escalations that would ensue once he attacked and hes probably counting on it so he can "finish the job" like in Gaza.
SEXY SEXY!

Israel only thinks it has the backing of everyone. They're currently doing a great job of screwing up their relations with Europe.
Narutaki was right. This is all Decade's fault.

This isn't even armchair psychology, you're sitting in the dirt
And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life?

Honestly, I'm much more worried about it from Putin. Though I bet Israel's nukes have had a lot better maintenance.
I apologize for nothing!

Bibi is poking a lot of bears right now. You think he's thought his clever plan through? What happens if multiple countries start raining missiles down on Israel?

Netanyahu cares about his own self-preservation and increasing his power far more than he cares about anything. Including the State of Israel and Jewish people generally.

It's the likes of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich who are the real danger.

No. If Israel was somehow stupid enough to do that The US, China, and Russia would turn Israel into glass.

I wouldn't put it out of the question for Israel to use its nukes but it wouldn't be against everyone.

This. Bibi isn't the type to want to essentially blow himself or Israel up.

Yea I've heard of this. Israel I think denies it's real. But it probably is. The Israeli government is run by insane people
Guys the idea of this plan is if Israel thinks everyone in Israel is about to die. So they end the world so everyone dies with them
At this point? No.

Some regimes that commit genocide are also ruthless pragmatists who will choose self-preservation.

Dude, this is something you could find in like 5 seconds. Its well known. Start with Wikipedia and go from there.

Where would I find it in like five seconds? What sites?

You make a claim online, you provide backup. You don't say "trust me bro."

Asking for a source on this is like asking for a source on Mt Everest being the tallest mountain in the world.

Its not our job to educate you on well known matters. If it was controversial or obscure, or I was referencing a specific source rather than a general concept, fair, but this is not remotely so. In the time you took to write that post you couldve pulled up the Wikipedia page on the Samson Option (which I already strongly implied you could look at, meaning all youre really doing is saying you need a link and cant navigate to it on your own) and read at least the first paragraph.

The middle eastern countrys arent stupid and are more then aware of Israels nukes. So even if they pushed their shit they know not to push it in to hard so as to force a response from them in this regard.

Leadership might be insane enough to give the order, but that order's gotta go through a number of folks to actually get the missiles to go anywhere and it defies belief that *everyone* involved is on board with "okay let's just end civilization because we're bored"
Why not go all in?

So it's something that some author suggested might be a thing and isn't an actual confirmed thing. Gotcha.

This is such a weird thing to get hung up on. Do you think Israel wouldnt have a plan to launch their nukes if they were going to be overtaken?
Thats such a remote possibility that it seems like this is just concern trolling.

We(The US) have a plan to invade The Hague in case any Americans are being held for trial on war crimes. Smart countries plan for all contingencies no matter how remote.
