When do you think that will happen? Be realistic.

Hard to say.

I suppose one could ask when you think your, um, proposal is going to be put to a vote, land set aside, ethnic cleansing undertaken, etc.?

Realistically? I think my proposal will not happen and no large country will even consider using military force against nuclear-armed Israel.

I think in about 10 years the BDS movement will be strong enough to dissuade Israel from further genocide. I think about one hundred thousand stateless Palestinians will be left alive in Israel at that point.

Of course, the questions remain - how many nuclear weapons does Israel have, how large are they and how are they delivered?

Note that Israel is not relying on its nuclear threat but on its American thug. And Israel is having more short-term problems than in the next ten years. But we will see.

They don't have to play the nuclear card as long as America is protecting it. But if the US stops protecting it you can be certain they would mention that.

Do you think any country cares enough about the Palestinians to risk nuclear war with Israel?

Considering that Israel hasn't even publicly admitted its nuclear arsenal, the Wikipedia link you cite is conjecture.

The US is worried about Iran getting nuclear weapons. The public estimate is that they have enriched uranium to the 60% pure point. They would need another 35% to make a weapon. They probably could do that anytime they decide within a few months.

Do you seriously think that Israel does not have nuclear weapons?
