In 2003, a military historian, Martin van Creveld, thought that the Al-Aqsa Intifada then in progress threatened Israel's existence.[29] Van Creveld was quoted in David Hirst's The Gun and the Olive Branch (2003) as saying:

    We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.[30]

And what is a problem, or a 'surprise' about that???

How is a sovereign country having a 'plan' to bugger up anyone who attacks them unusual??? China, Russia, Britain, Iran, Iraq and probably even Egypt ALL have the same sort of plans/ideas in place...

Israel can't have a plan in place for defence/retaliation??? Why not, because they're Jews??
