Apparently, they called Henry the K AFTER getting the nuclear alert birds loaded, announced that they had done so, and then politely asked what US policy would be regarding a Samson Option attack on the USSR, seeing as how Tricky Dick didn't seem to disapprove.
After Henry the K got the Israelis to sit by the phone and NOT DO ANYTHING RASH, he then raced to the President's quarters, where he found Tricky Dick quite hammered on the fine liquors available at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He apparently managed to get Tricky Dick to call Golda and offer the full range of US support, IF Ms. Meir would be so kind as to not start World War III.
I'm not sure I believe it, but it does track with the stories that have come out about the last year of the Nixon Administration.
"We'll nuclear strike the Soviet Union unless you help us"
Precipitate WWIII. "If we can't have our nation, well then, we'll just devastate the world"
Now they have how many nuclear weapons?
Makes me feel real safe
People on this forum are constantly in fear of Middle Eastern psychos getting ahold of Nuclear weapons
I have news for them
Middle Eastern psychos already do
All the best
