the reason israel is "threatened with annihilation" in a nuclear scenario is because it's a tiny country that is easy to wipe out with nukes.
now you could say "nah, no islamic nation would ever fire such weapons so close to their muslim brothers in palestine", but the poor palestinians have a history of always being pawns in someone else's chess game, be that jordan, lebanon/syria, egypt, or someone else. and with that in mind there's always the possibility for some sort of "glorious martyr cause" that could justify nuking them along with the israelis in the name of some glorious religious bullshit.

It doesn't take nukes to wipe out Israel, it is essentially an entire country that is smaller in geographic area than LA County, a strategic conventional missile strike could easily do just as much damage. The reality is no body wants to annihilate Israel, that would be stupid, Israel has powerful friends, but Israel is always milking the "you left us to die in the holocaust" card to push peoples' sympathies to support even their more racist and bigoted policies against Arabs (and even Ethiopian Jews who have become the niggers of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv)
