I have NEVER understood what Isreal could be expected to do with nuclear arms.

How about survival against being overrun by an overwhelming force? Not every nuke is a Hiroshima. I suspect they have neutron bombs which, when detonated in an airburst, minimize radiation and fallout, but can wipe out entire battalions through prompt radiation effects. If I was an Israeli living in a country surrounded by enemies, fearful of being completely destroyed, and remembering the holocaust, this is a last resort measure that I would employ, without thinking twice about it.
