they could nuke Tel-Aviv, and if we are talking about a small suitcase device, the issue about widespread fallout and water damage would be mitigated.

who would Israel retaliate against that the US would not? They have the same issues we do regarding retaliation, the logical targets are Iran and Pakistan, who would Israel hit? In fact, Israel would likely be more restricted in their response then we would be. The US isn't going to let them hit the Saudis for example, no way.

I would not bet any money on the ability of the US to restrain Israel in the event of a nuclear attack on an Israeli city. That's just my opinion, of course, and I may be wrong. But I think they'd pretty darned well nuke anyone they thought was responsible.

Saudi has recently broke our agreement by going with China.
