That’s all I have to say!” “[Israelis] have their own [nuclear] arsenal, which they never admit,” he said. “If Israel is going to face annihilation, you think they have those nukes in there to collect dust?” “If you’re a country that has that type of weaponry, and your people are going to be slaughtered as they were — except this time totally destroyed, they need to be thinking about all their options,” he said, alluding to the Samson Option.
