Same aim different year

I just wanted to do a post on new year's day for the sake of it really so I googled Israel to see what would come up and whadya know? Al Qaida wants to liberate Palestine and this time they're serious. Honestly, it's true. Look, here's the Jewish Telegraphic Agency:

Israel is taking seriously a renewed threat by Osama bin Laden to attack it.

After Al-Qaida issued a recorded message this week vowing to "liberate Palestine" - a reference to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip - Israel stepped up its scrutiny of Palestinian terrorist groups.

"Al-Qaida has many admirers within Israel's borders, mainly in Judea and Samaria and Gaza," Tzahi Hanegbi, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, told Israel Radio on Monday.

Al-Qaida has admirers among Palestinians? Now why on (or off) earth might that be?
