I remember reading this somewhere years ago. The idea is that Israel will nuke Paris, Berlin, London, etc, in the event that the west cuts off their support and allows it to be defeated by an enemy force.

Is this just a dumbass conspiracy theory, or is there something to it?

I've heard a variant of this, that the nukes are aimed at every major metropolis in the world so that they'll bring the entire world down with them

I don't believe it though, if nukes fly then I think they'll just use nukes against whatever opponent they have at the time of use, as with other nuclear powers

It's very unlikely that Israel has enough nuclear warheads or long range delivery platforms to hit very major city on Earth. Nuclear weapons are very expensive to maintain and iirc most of Israeli detergent is submarine based, which in theory means they can hit anywhere on earth given enough time, but in practice means that they only have relatively short ranged missiles and won't be able to hit any country with a competent ASW net.
