What if... Israel in reality does not have nuclear weapons...?
I remember a line from Defamation, by Abe Foxman, he says that there is a perception in the world that Jews/ADL have some level of power and influence, and people tend to overestimate this, so they play in this inflated false perception, so people turn to them to take care of things in that case Ukraine wanted the ADL to lobby for them at the US govt..
Spreading the suspicion, the "gossip", that Israel has nukes could be aligned with this.
It's like in Breaking Bad
