JEWS: Must depend on themselves

HUH? REALLY?

Due to a long history to include an Egyptian Pharaoh, Masada, Russian pogroms, Torquemada in Spain, the Nazi concentration camps, Pope Pius XII, the Balford Declaration (to name just a few events to start a diaspora), the Jews have learned they must depend on themselves if they want to survive.

So why is nothing being said about what the Jews will do if threatened by a nuclear holocaust when the Israelis have had nuclear arms since 1967? It is believed they have at least 90 warheads with enough fissionable material to make hundreds more.* 

It is obvious from their history the Jews would not hesitate to strike Iran with nuclear warheads if they felt they needed to in order to survive. If this is true, then the Jews have shown remarkable restraint over the decades. And, the balance of power in the Middle East is not what it appears to be.
