Nothing suprising here, didn’t Financial Minister Smotrich say that Gaza should be nuked months ago?
Yup
Trump’s team is also saying the same. I can see it going like this:
Trump backed Israel nukes Gaza. Iran gets pissy about this and tries to nuke Israel. US immediately interferes and tries to nuke Iran in retaliation. Israel, if it still exists, also joins. This pisses off Russia who joins in the fight. China and North Korea follow. Taiwan, Ukraine, and South Korea get attacked. We all die.
Israel is not going to nuke Gaza. They can’t control the wind. Iran maybe. Gaza, no way. That’s just poisoning themselves. They may be genocidal, but they’re not that stupid.
It’s a bit like Finland and Russia; we’re the one country they wouldn’t nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.
It’s almost poetic, really.
Whaaaaaaa??? But I thought Israel totally didn’t have any nuclear weapons
Their policy is “nuclear ambiguity”. That means that official, firm statements made by the government will neither confirm or deny that they have nuclear weapons.
Is nuclear war winnable? I’ve been led to believe it is not: MAD.
Yes, everyone will die, but right-wing ideologues are not smart enough to look this far ahead.
Oh, it’s worse and weirder than that. More than a few hardcore evangelicals are excited by the prospect, because they think it’s going to be the literal biblical Rapture, and that they’ll be Saved.
That’s not a joke or a sarcastic comment. It’s completely serious.
We ignore the insanity of these theocratic fascists at our peril.
Did anyone read the article? Do you realize how many unhinged nutjobs say crazy shit in parliaments and US congress every day?
This is click bait. Nothing to do with Israeli policy
Let’s not normalize it, it makes the news every time it happens.
Those are supposed to be our secret nukes we shared as besties >:(
Well a nuclear war would be one way to end the conflicts in that region. Therefore he isn’t technically wrong in that it would stop the Iranian program. All that needs to happen is to convert 411 million men, women, and children into radioactive dust to make sure that there is finally peace. Also, it seems to be what the local population wants as far as I can tell, meaning it would be democracy in action. Don’t worry if it happens, skydaddy will take care of them.
