The Israeli newspaper Maariv quoted Yair Katz, Chairman of the Israel Aerospace Industry Workers’ Council, who said that resorting to “breaking the equation” would be an option if Iran, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and other Middle Eastern countries decide to confront Israel.

“We have the ability to use a doomsday weapon,” Katz reportedly said.

Katz also noted the role of allies in helping to counter an Iranian attack on Israel, mentioning that Israeli engineers and workers “prepared for this scenario for several weeks.”

Unsanctioned weapons of mass destruction!? Surely this means a preemptive strike from the US is incoming.

When they talked of bombing Lebanon “back to the Stone Age” my mind immediately jumped to nukes and I’m not surprised they’ve clarified I was correct.

I know it's hack to point out, but how the fuck am I supposed to believe the Hasbara propaganda that these are the good guys, even if I really wanted to believe it, when they're openly talking about deploying ze doomsday veapon.
