 The premise of the Samson Option is an armistice agreement between the US and Israel, That if Israel is hit with a nuke, That every major city will also be hit. It is to prevent nuclear escalation between the US and Russia. Not sure if you know the history of Russian Jews or not but Stalin killed many Jewish people as well, And the Jews were also a subclass in the Pale of Settlement in modern day Ukraine/Russia, And were outcast by the Russian Aristocratic society. Israel has the largest foreign settlement of Russian people and they sit at an important inflection point between the two nuclear super powers. Israel is literally the most powerful place in the world and is the glue that keeps east and west together. Without Israel nuclear holocaust is just a few orders away. But you can hate Jews, nobody is judging you for that. Go ahead.
