[The Sons of Liberty]

You ,may recall, in the '73 War, Golda Meir ordered two nuclear capable squadrons of Phantom and Kfir fighters loaded with nukes when the battles were going poorly and it appeared that Israel might be overrun. At that point, The USSR attempted to send Egypt some type of nuclear materials(?), we detected it as it passed through the Bosporous straits and countered by going DEFCON 3. Fortunately, the tide of battle turned and the war ended.

What would be the tripping point in this war where Israel would decide to use their nukes? Surely, just having a few rockets hit Haifa wouldn't be sufficient, would it?

[Luke21]

Golda was a great one. She was from the great tradition of "take no prisoners" Israeli leadership. David Ben-Gurion and Moshe Dayan come to mind. So was Menachem Begin.

Israel was losing that war, and she was not going to lose. Israel would have nuked Cairo and Damascus if need be.

President Nixon, hounded by the dogs in the press and the full might of the left, made a great decision. He would defend Israel at the risk of nuclear war. No one gave him any credit for it, and the press did all they could to discredit him.

Around 1975, people started writing novels about the very scenario that had just taken place, as if it were fiction.

I believe that if Syria or Iran decide to use heavy stuff against Israel that the nuke will come into play.
