Unlike Iran, Israel is already a nuclear state, with a secretive programme that dates back to the 1950s

      I’ve neither watched the movies, nor read the original. I didn’t know about this character before today.

        It’s not a great bible story to base your nuclear strategy on.

        Sampson was a brutal man, a womanizer, a drunk, etc. He would fly into a rage and kill people, irrespective of who they were or if they were begging for their life.

        He was led into temptation easily, by his dick, with Delilah, and lost everything because of it. The Jewish people almost lost everything because of his hubris.

        It’s a cautionary tale of arrogance that almost leads to a destruction of an entire nation (Israel), and just before all looks lost, he commits suicide and takes a ton of Philistines out with him by tearing down the coliseum they’re standing in.
