In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. The Israeli Ambassador informed President Richard Nixon that "very serious conclusions" may occur if the United States did not airlift supplies. Nixon complied. This is seen by some commentators on the subject as the first threat of the use of the Samson Option.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

“You've been told Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East. What if I told you they're actually our greatest threat - and have been holding us hostage for 50 years?

You might've heard about "God's miracle" in the Yom Kippur War to squeak out a miraculous victory for Israel in the face of certain loss. But here's the real story:

It's October 1973, and Israel faces certain defeat. Nixon had promised no support (Israel was misbehaving on a grand scale, and being a nuisance to the region). Instead of fighting harder, they do something no ally had ever done - they roll nuclear missiles out of desert caves, make absolutely certain our satellites can see them, and send us a message: "Give us everything we need right now, or we start a nuclear holocaust."

Within hours, Nixon authorizes the largest emergency weapons airlift in history. Not out of friendship. Out of terror.

Israel wasn't threatening Egypt or Syria. They were threatening us - with a nuclear catastrophe. And it worked. We sent 22,000 tons of weapons. We've been sending $3.8 billion every year since. We veto UN resolutions we privately agree with. We defend Israeli actions that inflame the entire Muslim world against us. We've built our entire Middle East policy around one rule: never let Israel feel desperate enough to roll those missiles out again.

This isn't alliance. This is a protection racket. They showed us they'd burn down the neighborhood with us inside, and we've been paying tribute ever since. The bomb only had to come out once. The memory of October 1973 has controlled American foreign policy for half a century.

You think Islamic terrorism is our biggest threat in the Middle East? Try being held hostage by a nuclear-armed state that's already proven they'll point the gun at you if you don't do exactly what they want."

this hack wants to create the impression that the israelis were threatening to bomb the united states. threatening to use nukes (so that you don't actually have to use them) is a perfectly reasonable thing to do when your country is on the verge of no longer existing. seems like they did "fight harder" but he uses the phrase interchangeably with "fight less effectively."

They threatened to use nukes if the U.S. didn’t give them massive amounts of weapons, not nuke the U.S.
