Without America standing with Israel, Israel stands a better than 50-50 chance of being over-run and wiped out as a country.
The Israelis have planned for that.
The plan is referred to as: "The Samson Option."
The "Samson Option" is IsraelÂ’s strategy of massive nuclear retaliation against "enemies" should its existence as a Jewish state be jeopardized through military attack.
The term was inspired by the Biblical figure Samson, who destroyed a Philistine temple, killing himself, and thousands of Philistine enemies.
The Samson option is a strategy of last resort retaliation - even if it means IsraelÂ’s own annihilation.
It has been estimated by so-called experts that Israel has at least 400 thermo-nuclear weapons. They can be launched from land, sea, and air. This means that Israel has a second strike option -- even if much of the country is destroyed
Nuclear weapons were viewed by Israel as the ultimate insurer of IsraelÂ’s continued existance. Israel decided, as early as the 1960Â’s, to build-up its military and achieve absolute conventional military superiorty over itÂ’s enemies, and not place its reliance on nuclear weapons. Israel did this in the hope that they would never have to call on their thermo-nuclear weapons stockpile to rescue their country.
Clealy the danger to IsraelÂ’scontinued existace has escalated until today Israel finds itself ann island of sanity in a sea of madness.
We have warned of IsraelÂ’s "Samson Option" many times before. Like their ancient ancestors on Masada, Israel, it would seem, is prepared to sacrifice itself rather than be driven into slavery -- or extinction -- by the enemy hordes that surround it.
Sadly, the only country that can prevent those Middle Eastern madmen from breaching the walls of Israel is the United States. But the US is leaderless, at least until 2013, and the man who currently occupies the office of President of the United States has shown no favor towards Israel or its plight.
Today, the entire world is threathened. The Damocles Sword of Islamic terrorism hangs precariously over our heads. Here, in America, the lives of every man, woman and child has changed since September 11, 2001. And yet, compared to the threat Israelis live under, every day, Americans live in perfect secutity and safety. JDL.
