I had a fiancé in 2004 who is Jewish but it didn’t work out.
I then met the love of my life in 2008 and he was an American Jewish Mexican and we became domestic partners in the state of NY long before the National Marriage Act passed years later allowing gay people in the US to marry.
In short, I have been with/ in love/and associated and identified with Jews since I was a teenage.
I am not antisemitic.
I am against this man and what he’s done for the last 40+ years.
This is important:
Samson Option
The name comes from the biblical figure Samson, who, after being captured and blinded by the Philistines, used his remaining strength to pull down the pillars of their temple. He killed himself, but he took all his enemies down with him.
In a military context, the Samson Option refers to the alleged doctrine that if Israel’s existence were ever truly threatened—meaning the state was about to be overrun or destroyed—it would use its nuclear arsenal to launch a massive, “all-out” strike against its adversaries. The logic is: “If we go down, everyone goes down.”
Does it have a subtext of genocide?
This is where the debate gets very heavy.
• Strategic Deterrence: Proponents and many military analysts argue it is a deterrence mechanism. It’s meant to ensure that no neighbor ever attempts to completely “wipe Israel off the map” because the cost would be their own total annihilation.
• The “Genocide” Subtext: Critics and some scholars argue that because the doctrine implies targeting major population centers (cities) rather than just military targets, it inherently carries a subtext of mass killing or “counter-value” strikes. In 1991, journalist Seymour Hersh popularized the term, suggesting that the strategy isn’t just about winning a war, but about a final, apocalyptic act of vengeance that would leave the region—and potentially parts of the world—uninhabitable.
