PA Official: 'If We Had Nuke, We'd Have Used It This Morning'

A senior Palestinian Authority has praised the use of violence against Israel, asserting that if the PA had the military wherewithal to rise up against the Jewish state, it would not hesitate to do so.

Not very comforting but perfectly in character...

Typical Arab talking big -- no reality involved. After all, what were the two intifadas but the best efforts of the Palestinians at a military uprising?

"I swear that if we had a nuke, we'd have used it this very morning," vowed Jibril Rajoub during an interview with the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV channel, as reported by the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).

In other words, he was speaking in Arabic to a local audience, with every expectation that it would not get out to the English-speaking world.

Jibril Rajoub is the Deputy Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee and Chairman of the PA Olympic Committee. The interview was also published on Rajoub's Facebook page on May 2, 2013.

#2 If the PA tossed a nuke, they would become a grease spot on the L&N. They are too stupid to be allowed to be powerful. Even their neighbors in the area realize this.

It was an Arab-Arab conversation, Mikey -- all windy boasting and fairy tales.

#8 I would bulldoze the "Palestinians" into the sea personally. THUGSS.

This is one of the most expensive, annoying, and murderous groups on the planet. It is all political and they are all screwed in the head.

#9 wouldnot a nuke on isreal also impact and negatively affect the Palestinians?

Doubt it. In fact the U.N. (and White House) would probably condemn the dead Jews for leaving the land all radioactive and stuff...

#10 would not a nuke on isreal also impact and negatively affect the Palestinians?

If they put it on one of their rockets and it worked as well as a lot of them, it would indeed negatively impact the Paleos, because it would not even make it out of Paleostan to hit Israel.
