Will India and Pakistan unite against a Nuclear Weapons trigger happy Israel?

There are two major problems with this question.
First, whether Israel has nuclear weapons, it is definitely not "nuclear weapons trigger happy". Israel has not launched a nuclear missile or any intercontinental ballistic missile (even with a conventional warhead).
Second, Israel maintains good relations with India and the two have a decent trade relationship. Israel and Pakistan do not recognize each other and India and Pakistan are in a long-term conflict.
Therefore, if anything were to happen between the three countries, it is far more likely that India and Israel would join forces against Pakistan than for India and Pakistan to join forces against Israel.

What is the difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapons?
Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
Did the tsunami trigger the nuclear blast?
Yes the tsunami did trigger the nuclear blast because the water got into the nuclear reactor and buggered it up
What type of professionals would be known to use 'antimatter'?
Currently, antimatter has uses in the medicine, fuel, and weapons industries. In medicine, they are shown to help cure cancer. Antimatter, while scarce, can be a potential substitute for fuel. In weapons, antimatter serves use as a trigger for nuclear weapons.
What is a neutron trigger used for?
Atomic nuclear fission.
What is shot at an isotope's nucleus to trigger a nuclear chain reaction?
neutrons
What Used cycle as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
You question is far from clear, but nuclear weapons use a high explosive "trigger". The chemical explosives serve to crush nuclear materials into a very dense form, starting a nuclear chain reaction. There have been many different explosives used for that purpose- explosives used in modern day weapons is rather classified, and we don't discuss classified materials here.The chemical explosives used in most nuclear weapons since the 1960s have been PBXs (Plastic Bonded Explosives). However there are literally many dozens of different PBXs, each having different properties. PBXs were selected for safety: they are insensitive to shock or fire.I am not sure what you mean by "cycle". The only thing I know of with a name like that was cyclonite, an explosive used in some nuclear weapons in the 1950s, but it is very shock sensitive and thus unsafe.Some unclassified information on nuclear weapon explosives is available in Chuck Hansen's work Swords of Armageddon.
What is the shooting botton of a gun?
weapons are generall fired by the use of a trigger. Some military weapons use a switch/button/lanyard.
What is the main purpose of polonium metal?
When it is mixed or alloyed with beryllium, polonium can be a neutron source: beryllium releases a neutron upon absorption of an alpha particle that is supplied by 210Po. It has been used in this capacity as a neutron trigger or initiator for nuclear weapons
What is shot at isotope's nucleus to trigger nuclear chain reaction?
Gamma Particles
How would the US respond to a biological attack on its mainland?
Under the United States policy of Proportional Response, an attack upon the United States or its Allies would trigger a force-equivalent counter-attack. Since the United States only maintains nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction, it is the stated policy that the United States will regard all WMD attacks (Biological, Chemical, or Nuclear) as a nuclear attack and will respond to any WMD attack with a nuclear strike.
Are humans a threat to ocelots?
I'm sorry to break it to you but humans are a threat to absolutely everything. This is largely due to the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs.) I don't mean to alarm you but a leading explanation for war explains that the nature of the international system is inherently anarchical and conducive to conflict. Because of this, someone will eventually pull the trigger on nuclear holocaust at some point. The risk of this heightens with unchecked nuclear proliferation, i.e. if WMDs find their way into the hands of failed, failing or rogue states (i.e. Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Brooklyn...) If one of these areas gets their hands on a nuclear weapon, the worry is that they will use it instantly. Hope this helps.
Can a nuke trigger another nuke?
If 2 nuclear weapons were targeted close together in all probability the first one to detonate would probably kill the other, preventing its proper detonation. This is called nuclear fratricide, it is caused by the burst of neutrons from a nuclear detonation. These neutrons trigger a predetonation fizzle yield in nearby bombs. To prevent this if adjacent targets are too close, the bursts are separated in time instead typically using a marching targeting pattern that proceeds across the area of targets with individual bursts widely separated in time and space.
