"Most European capitals are
our targets....We have the capability to take the world down with
us and that will happen before Israel goes under."
The "Samson Option" is
Israel's strategy of massive nuclear retaliation against "enemy"
nations.
Israel refuses to admit it
has nuclear weapons despite Israeli whistle blower Mordechai
Vanunu making public photos of nuclear weapons and production
equipment in the 1980s.
Israel have about 400 nuclear
weapons and can launch them in a second strike if its military is
devastated.
It has evolved into a
bullying strategy to further Israel's goals through threats and
blackmail against Arab nations, United States and Russia with its
Samson Option.
Mordechai Vanunu alleged that
Israel has the ability to "bombard any city not only in Europe but
also in the United States."
### In 1973's Yom
Kippur War Israel was attacked by Arab forces. PM Golda Meir
authorized a nuclear alert with 13 atomic bombs. Israeli Ambassador
Simha Dinitz threatened "very serious conclusions" and forced
President Richard Nixon to send state of the art military supplies
to Israel.
### Seymour Hersh

Soviets from helping Arab nations since an Israeli nuclear attack
on Russia by America's closest ally would result in Russia
confronting the U.S.
### Ariel Sharon said :
"We can take the Middle East with us whenever we
want..............the Arabs may have the oil, but we have the
matches."
### In 2002, Ariel
Sharon threatened that if Israel was attacked "Israel will react.''
Israeli defense analyst Zeev Schiff explained: "Israel could
respond with nuclear weapons and eradicate Iraq as a
country."
### Simon Peres
admitted that nuclear weapons are used by Israel for "compellent
purposes" by forcing others to accept Israeli political
demands.
### In 2002 Ariel
Sharon demanded the U.S. target Iran after it was finished with
Iraq. In 2004 Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Israel would
consider "all options" against Iran including attacks with nuclear
weapons.
### Because of its
technical assistance to Iran's nuclear program and arms sales to
Iran and other "enemy" nations. In 2007 Israeli officials warned
Russia: "We hope they understand that this is a threat that could
come back to them as well."
