Ayman al-Zawahiri Video Released – Blasts Palestinian Elections
by John Little on 20/12/2006Is it just me or is Al-Qaeda propaganda getting worse with every release? That trend started years ago but continues. The confident destroyers of the West have turned into whiners:
In the video, al-Zawahiri said: “Any road other than jihad will only lead to loss.”
He also said: “Those trying to liberate the land of Islam through elections based on secular constitutions or on decisions to surrender Palestine to the Jews will not liberate a grain of sand of Palestine.”
It was not clear when the videotape was recorded but its release comes as tensions are rising in the Palestinian territories after small-scale clashes and a call by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, for early elections.
Walid Batrawi, an Al Jazeera correspondent in Ramallah, said: “It’s very hard to predict the effects of the message. It comes at a very sensitive time.”
Al-Zawahiri said: “Accepting the legitimacy of Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the national authority, America’s man in Palestine, and mandating the PLO which recognises Israel to negotiate with Israel is an abyss which will ultimately lead to eliminating the jihad and recognising Israel.”
There’s nothing new here. They don’t like democracy or the West. Perpetual war is the only way. I expect that even the Palestinians will shrug this one off.
