Exactly, Israel is such a peaceful country. They would never invade their neighbors like Lebanon, Syria, ignore treaties, or pretend that Palestinian territory is actually belonging to them
They have literally come very close to launching them when they were losing a few battles during the Yom Kippur war when Golda Meir ordered them readied to be launched. She then extorted Nixon for supplies because if he didn’t agree to airlift in help she’d order them launched.
Like this isn’t crazy talk. They have a known policy under which they will take the entire region with them if they fall.
It’s worth considering and talking about and just because you don’t know basic history surrounding this doesn’t mean others are stupid for considering it a possibility.
If I’ve learned one thing it’s that it’s absolutely impossible to have productive discussions on geopolitics on Lemmy. People are insanely uninformed but at the same time will not move an inch from their preconceived opinions.
The fact that Israel is a warmongering country guilty of a genocide but at the same is no real nuclear threat in the region whereas Iran would be is something that exceeds the binary thinking of people here.
Supposedly 50 million people voted for a reality tv star to have control of the largest stockpile of nuclear arms on earth… Perhaps the herd is diseased.
If you read the link you’ve provided you’ll see that it’s a last resort doctrine meant to deter neighboring countries from invading. Pretty much in line with how most western (nuclear) nations would use their nuclear arsenal.
Okay so Israel denies that they have nuclear weapons but at the same time threatens the whole world with nuclear annihilation as the user above claimed. How does that work?
Maybe because there’s no danger of Israel slinging nukes all over the middle east, whereas that’s always been a concern about Iran?
This has to be a joke right?
What about Pakistan?
Netanyahu went on a massive warning rant about them having nukes and using it all over the middle east, yet they haven’t.
Why is there no such danger? Explain.
This is the same Israel which is currently bombing Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran?
It’s like portraying a person who is actively gunning down civilians with a handgun as "unlikely to kill anyone with a rifle’.
Of course. Israel is one of the most peaceful countries, after all.
Are you genuinely worried they will use their nukes?
Yes. It’s unlikely, but definitely possible.
Yes. Have you seen the yahoos in charge in Israel?
Why are you not?
When terrorists have nukes, you must always entertain the possibility they will use them. Otherwise, you’re a moron.
It’s obviously possible, you’d have to be a moron to not know that. But compared to if Iran or hamas had nukes I’m not as worried.
But that’s just because you’re racist. Israel is the genocidal state, not Iran or Palestine
I’m sure Iran and hamas want to wipe out israel too
Who, out of the three, are actively committing genocide right now?
Suddenly, crickets haha

You mean the completely baseless assertion
Do you deny the genocide in Gaza?
No, that part is true

Nice self portrait

At some point, with a quarter hundred downvotes and many negative replies, the person you should first inspect is not the other, but self.
Lol who says ‘25’ this way?

Israel will destroy the entire planet with nukes if they don’t get unfettered access to their “holy land.”

You mean the nuclear arsenal that Israel denies exists?
Which of those western (nuclear) nations are also doing that?

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I can’t tell how it’s any different from MAD based on what’s written.
People get very emotional when discussing Israel and can’t stay with the facts.

Plus israel has talked before about the “samson option”. When has Iran talked using nukes?
Hard talking about what you don’t have. Well almost, but now very very not almost.
