The term "Never Again" has huge significance, especially for right-wing Jews. I have no doubt that Israel would go nuclear if it sees itself on the brink of disaster. I believe the Muslim states around her understand that and have adjusted.
Please note the disappointment with Golda Meir and the assassination of Isak Rabin. Two leaders who were regarded as being too compliant.
