Nope. Many of those who speak of said option are Jewish.

Why?
If Israel uses nuclear weapons to try to go out in a blaze of glory, that will totally eliminate their goodwill in the wider world. Said goodwill will not be eliminated if they refrain from using nukes. They will only bring down even more trouble on their heads.
Let me quantify it.
WITH Samson option (nukes are used): Israel destroyed, international outcry over the use of nukes by Israel.
WITHOUT Samson option: Israel destroyed, no international outcry.
Israel is worse off with the Samson option than without it.
I think if they get to the point that the Samson option would be used, they don't really give a shit what the international community thinks of them.

To be honest, that is really idiotic of them.
They don't care that they're obliterating the chances of Israel being reestablished in the future?
Even if Israel is destroyed in war, there still might be enough goodwill in the international community to get Israel reestablished in the future - IF Israel uses no nukes. If they use the nuclear Samson option, said goodwill vanishes. As does any chance, no matter how large or small, of the future reestablishment of Israel.
If Israel uses nukes, the international community will throw its support wholeheartedly behind the Arab nations.

Only Ninja'd on the last bit - I did think of posting the first bit of your post as well but was not happy with how I was wording it
