Methinks this issue was likely raised by Saddam's henchmen, since they realized that they can't very well lob inaccurate chemical scuds on Israel without endangering all the poor innocent Palestinians as well, and we all know how that would play in the Arab world...
So quite possibly, Israel has some measure of security just as long as the Pallies DON'T have gas masks.

If Saddam is prepared to kill his own sons-in-law why should he worry about a few palestinians?
