Hey Jack don't know if you were around in June 1967 but no-one in the run up to that one gave the Israelis a cat in hell's chance of survival. In 1973 the israeli's were caught completely off guard and for the first 48 hours things looked decidedly shakey for them.

Fact remains that when under tremendous pressure and very real threats they did not resort or threaten the use of nuclear weapons they may or may not have had. If you believe otherwise then please offer substanive evidence to prove it.
