#1 Lets close this Shia funded chapter, and get back to old fashioned Sunni Jihadism.

#2 ...Man, when Al-Queda is telling you to knock it off...

And a thought just occurred to me: I wonder if Al-Q is thinking that if the Israelis knew where Hezbollah was hiding, they might know perfectly well where Al-Q is. Hezbollah's leadership tiers are gone, what's left of Hamas' C-suite is hiding out in Doha praying the Qataris don't throw them out, and eventually the Israelis are going to look for other dragons to slay. Tell Hamas to knock it off, slip some cash their way, and take the heat off of everybody.

#3 Why would Israel hunt down Al Qaeda, Mike? Despite Osama bin Laden’s big talk, Al Q looked at Israel as a tertiary goal at best. And Israel will probably spend a couple of years just clearing out all those who crossed the fence on 10/7, not to mention Hezbollahniks and key Mad Mullah personnel, nuclear and otherwise.

On the other hand, Israel might share technology and techniques with The Big Satan, should Donald Trump once again inhabit the White House.

#5 TW,

Well, look at it this way: the Israelis have put the fear of God into the terror community. The low and mid-level guys, yeah, always at risk, but this time it's been real Old Testament level revenge. The al-Q leadership doesn't know what the Israelis picked up, but given what they've seen over the last year they can't rule out that the Israelis (and therefore, us) know a lot more about hideouts and ops than they'd like.

Speaking up and saying 'knock it off' might, in al-Q's eyes, be a way of saying, "we don't want any part of this, and we've got no interest in keeping these idiots alive."

#6 AQ needs to stay lo pro right now. China is counting on a land route from Iran to avoid the impact of oil embargo’s in a Taiwan invasion. If Israel kicked off a bigger war in the ME right now, it would jeaporduze that Iranian oil bypass and AQ’s rebuilding pipeline would feed into the war instead of their other immediate primary goals. For starters
