    He has been censured by the Israeli government and stripped him of his ability to be in briefing meetings. Many in the Knesset are also now working to have him removed. The prime minister immediately released a statement that this was completely inappropriate and contrary to the way in which the IDF operates in accordance with the rules of armed conflicts.

        As far as nukes go you are right. Israel has long had a neither confirm nor deny stance when asked if they have nukes.

        Everyone knows they do but they have never admitted to it.

        This guy is getting shit for confirming that Israel does in fact have nukes.
        Thats the real reason they are pissed at him.

        Not for the idea itself.

      The Isreali Minisitry of Intelligence had literally drafted up an options plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza and deport everyone.

      Let’s not congratulate Isreal on drawing the line at nukes.

      …and would be completely self-destructive. This would be like New York City nuking Hoboken.

      Or like uptown Manhattan nuking downtown Manhattan.
