‘Negotiating game’ played only because the Palestinians currently lack the military strength to defeat the Jewish state
Here is another instance, one of many, in which forked-tong ‘moderate’ Palestinian officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas, say in English what the international community wants to hear, but proclaim in Arabic that they will obliterate the State of Israel and wipe it off the map.
Will President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry ever wise up and realize that peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians is nothing but a pipe dream?
PALESTINIAN OFFICIAL LONGS TO NUKE ISRAEL
Israel Today
May 9, 2013
There is a very good reason for Israel taking the Iran nuclear threat so seriously. There are a lot of people in this region, many of them holding positions of authority, who would like nothing more than to use a nuclear weapon against Israel, the consequences be damned.
One such figure admitted as much in an interview with Lebanese TV last week.
"I swear that if we had a nuke, we'd have used it this very morning," said Jibril Rajoub, Deputy Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee and Chairman of the Palestinian Authority Olympic Committee.
Rajoub explained that the Palestinian Authority only continues to play this "negotiating game" with Israel because it currently lacks the military strength to defeat the Jewish state.
This revelation validates one of Israel's chief concerns in the peace process - that in the absence of actually being educated for peace and coexistence, the inhabitants of an independent Palestinian state will, as a first order of business, work toward acquiring the military means to engage in renewed warfare against Israel.
In his previous role as head of Palestinian police and security adviser to former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Rajoub was widely praised as a "moderate" by Western leaders.
