Give the palestinians who are not violent 48 hours to get the hell outta Dodge, and then wipe Gaza clean.

Anyone who thinks we'll have two countries living side by side in peace should have his head examined. Let's hope Israel gives the Paleis and their al Qaeda friends exactly what they deserve.

More muslime terrorists....evacuate the Israelis, then nuke Gaza. Trap every single muzzie rat that's there and kill them like the vermin they are.

If this announcement is really from Al Qaida, it is a very clear demonstration that these international terrorists have no interest, whatsoever, in the well being of the Palestinians. Were it otherwise, this would make no sense. Why would they want to provide a reason for Israel to abort the move towards a peaceful resolution of at least part of the Israeli/Palestinian impasse, by alarming Israeli public opinion? The only function of this is to try to disrupt what progress is being made.

Of course, that is par for the course for bin Ladin's fanatics. But it certainly gives the lie to their pretense of trying to help the Palestinian people. Hopefully, some of their sympathizers in the Near East will begin to see this, and cut off their lines of support.

There is no way civilized people can ever deal with those who will not respect other people's borders, other than as the criminals they are. We need to recognize that Al Qaida are the anarchists of the 21st Century--as much, if not more of a threat to nations in their own regions, as to any in the West. Once this becomes clearer, it will begin to get easier, rounding them up.

Neville Chamberlain, meet Ariel Sharon and George W. Bush.

I've been saying for a long time that it is the perfect safe haven for binladen himself!!
Big surprise!

[nonliberal]

could also attack the United States.

Americans tend to not have a very high bull$#!+ tolerance. No Muslim would be able to leave their house for the next 50 years.

what? Alqaida in Gaza? why, who could imagined something like that!??? this is a surprising development.... someone call NYT

[NatsFan]

The timing of this announcement seems to be VERY suspicious, coming so close to the planned pull out from Gaza. Having Al-Qaeda in Gaza would be the perfect cause to make the Israelis stay.

It makes no sense for Al Qaeda to issue such a message like this? If they had established a base in the Gaza Strip, why would they risk their foothold by making an announcement that could make the Israelis stay in Gaza.

The timing is so close to the pullout from Gaza it can't be coincidental. Whoever is behind this for some reason probably doesn't want the withdrawal to go through for some reason- it's probably best for Sharon to go ahead with the withdrawal plan.

...making themselves easier targets.

Al Qaeda already had a sister org in Gaza, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and a cousin, Hamas.
The Muslim Brotherhood (Jama'at al-ikhwan al-muslimin) spawned a number of terrorist organizations including Egyptian Islamic Jihad (Al-Jihad). Al-Jihad went international, forming a subsidiary in "Palestine", which for a time was run out of Florida. Palestinian Jihad has since effectively merged with another break away from the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
In the 1990's, Al Jihad, run by Ayman Al Zawahiri since 1991, broke with Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, the rival Egyptian Islamist group formed from the Brotherhood. Zawahiri's Islamic Jihad joined with Pakistani and Afghani Salafists and the remains of Sheik Azzam's MAK under the nominial control of Osama Bin Laden. While Bin Laden formed Al Qaeda in 1988, it was not until this merger that it became a major international threat.

Remember this?

Rice says Israel must allow freedom for Gaza Strip

This is a big mistake by the Bush Administration and it will cause a lot of lives to be lost.
