The first one to go nuclear, no matter the provocation, will have a PR problem that will follow them for centuries. I don't think Israel would want that if it can at all be avoided.
IIRC, the U.S. was the "first one to go nuclear." How's our PR on that, a few decades later?
Are you suggesting we don't carry a stigma for using those weapons?

I'm suggesting that we seem to have escaped a PR problem that has followed us for centuries.

All these deaths and attacks from bitter japanese terrorists would seem to indicate that Japan is not a favored ally at all.

So, now you are suggesting that using a nuclear weapon now would be seen as no big deal?

Have you ever spoken to someone from outside the US. I know a few people, educated people who remember and teach about the only act of Nuclear War by one country on another.
( I happen to think it was the right decision and have spent hours discussing it)
