No. CarolC. If Israel uses nuclear weapons OTHER THAN IN SELF DEFENSE after being attacked by them, that would be the end of the Jewish people.


ANY nation that initiates nuclear warfare will cease to exist. Israel has had nuclear weapons since the late 1960's- WHY do you think they did NOT use them in 1974 ( when the Syrian attack ALMOST succeeded?)?

But IMHO Iran does not believe that they will be destroyed, and WILL use nuclear weapons, either directly or by their Hamas or Hezboallah proxies. Your comments do not provide any reason that they would not.- As for "deterence", the countries that are SAFE from nuclear attack are those that DO NOT HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
