Al-Khalil, Dec 9, IRNA -- A high-ranking Israeli officer has threatened to attack Islamic holy places in the Middle East with nuclear bombs, an Israeli newspaper said Sunday.
The Ha'aretz Hebrew newspaper quoted an unidentified high-ranking officer as saying that in case Israel was attacked by states or terrorist groups, the Jewish state would respond by dropping nuclear bombs on holy Islamic cities such Mecca, Medina in Saudi Arabia and Qom in Iran.
The paper quoted the officer, who works as Guide in Israeli army colleges, as saying that Israel possesses hundreds of nuclear weapons along with their delivery systems, including long-range ballistic missiles, long-range bombers and nuclear submarines.
Israel is the only entity in the Middle East to possess a huge arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, including a sizable nuclear arsenal. However, the United States, Israel's guardian-ally, has always avoided any serious discussion of Israel's weapons of mass destruction. /NK/BH/AR End

Sounds like a reasonable response to me. It's not like Arabs would hate them any worse.

It's about time someone propose this idea publically. Too bad no one in the Bush administration has the guts to do it.

If that's not the Israeli government's official position he should be fired.

And yes, I know the source is just an Islamic propaganda agency.

No official of the Israeli government would ever say this even if it were true. We must assume it's Islamic propaganda. BTW, I hope it is true.

Sometimes even the devil speaks the truth.

The paper quoted the officer, who works as Guide in Israeli army colleges, as saying that Israel possesses hundreds of nuclear weapons along with their delivery systems, including long-range ballistic missiles, long-range bombers and nuclear submarines. That's why they haven't been attacked directly.
If the Mohammedans are patient they can simply wait until they become the majority population in Israel.

Oh no Mr. Bill............If they do that the Muslims will only be able to pray to a hole in the ground,...oh,oh Mr. Bill!
To: Colorado Doug
If that were to happen, wouldnt the Pakistani retaliate with a strike against the Israelis?

Right. And the Israelis would then solve the Palestinian problem in the traditional middle eastern way: exterminate them.
