AL-Qaeda and Israel

HAMID BENBELLA, Tuesady 5, February 2008

Since the emergence of AL-Qqeda Organization, the alliance of Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri in the Hindu Mountains, and the signing of the Jihad declaration against the Jews and their allies in 1996. Al-Qaeda has strived against everyone except Israel. What is the secret behind Al-Qaeda's absence from Jihad battlefield in Palestine?
In the last episode of the series of Al-Qaeda audio recordings on Al-Jazeera satellite channel,Al-Zawahiri accused the Arab that took part in last year's Annapolis conference of being agents and of selling out Palestine.
It is time for Arab citizens to know that Al-Qaeda is an extremist, terrorist group. Until today,Al-Qaeda and Al-Zawahiri did not offer Palestine anything except those political pornographic tapes that are presented on TV SCREENS-a cheap struggle for which Al-Qaeda does not pay anything. The task of the Arab media should be to expose this falsehood,not promotes its.
However,some essential questions remain unanswered. Does the killing of innocent people in Algeries constitute confrontation with the Americans and Israelis? Does the slaughtering of Iraqis in Iraq constitute confrontation with Americans? Why didn't Al-Qaeda confront the Americans in Afghanistan? and the most important question is why didn't Al-Qaeda-since its establishment and until today-carry out one single operation against Israel?
