| In 2012, in response to [[Günter Grass]]'s poem "Was gesagt werden muss" ("[[What Must Be Said]]") which criticized Israel's nuclear weapons program, Israeli poet and [[The Holocaust|Holocaust]] survivor [[Itamar Yaoz-Kest]] published a poem entitled "The Right to Exist: a Poem-Letter to the German Author" which addresses Grass by name. It contains the line: "If you force us yet again to descend from the face of the Earth to the depths of the Earth—let the Earth roll toward the Nothingness." ''[[Jerusalem Post]]'' journalist Gil Ronen saw this poem as referring to the Samson Option, which he described as the strategy of using Israel's nuclear weapons, "taking out Israel's enemies with it, possibly causing irreparable damage to the entire world."<ref>{{Citation | first = Gil | last = Ronen | url = http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/154608#.T4H4MtXAE14 | title = Israeli Letter-poem to Grass: If We Go, Everyone Goes | newspaper = [[Arutz Sheva|Israel National News]] | date = April 8, 2012}}.</ref> | In 2012, [[Günter Grass]]'s publushed the poem "Was gesagt werden muss" ("[[What Must Be Said]]") which criticized Israel's nuclear weapons program. |
