Ziad Nakhaleh said in a televised speech from Beirut on Wednesday that neither nuclear weapons, warplanes nor peace agreements with some Arab states could bring Israelis security and peace.

He added that militant groups in Gaza have “made miracles that you can see with your own eyes and you live them every moment when you run to shelters.”

Nakhaleh was referring to thousands of missiles and rockets that Gaza militants have fired toward Israel.

Nakhaleh said that after Israel’s moves that threatened the eviction of dozens of Palestinian families by Jewish settlers in east Jerusalem, “we were in front of two choices, to surrender and to give them everything or fight them over everything.”

This brave leader is a big talker while in Beirut. Wow. How inspiring for his people who are in Gaza. This putz should be ashamed of himself. The people of Gaza are idiots to put their lives on the line for this coward.

You rebel against the Torah and slowly turning israel into Sodom,even the Arabs with no planes or tanks can defeat Israel. Your planning a gay parade for the 18 th year in Jerusalem. Where are the chareidim. Sometimes I think satmar rebbe was right.

We can all recognize the stupidity of this terror leader. If he wants his forces out there to go for everything, aside from our Syatta Dishmaya, Israel can easily outgun the terrorists. The only obstacle in the way is the power the leftists who are terror supporters whose influence on the WH is disproportional. Their collective intellect is quite low, yet they have managed to get Biden to do their calling.
