I think you'll find that Al Qaeda was operating in America (1986) long before they were operating full scale in Afghanistan.(1996)
And who is the 'they' that the Israeli's are killing?
Bear in mind Al Qaeda have never attacked Israel.
Al Qaeda, which originally announced its presence on the global scene in 1998 as "The World Islamic Front for Jihad against the Jews and Crusaders," for the first time has claimed an attack on the Jewish state from neighboring Lebanon.

Or perhaps there is a more sinister agenda.
Perhaps the genocide mentioned in the OP article is a reality - a permanent end to the "palestinian problem"
After all, given recent history, if anyone can get away with it, Israel can.
Just a thought relating to the Icke article.....

You need to step aside and read before rejoining this conversation. You are simply and shockingly uninformed.

And this from someone who doesn't even know how heavily involved Saudi Arabia is with Hamas.To you,there is only Iran.
Concerning your article;a man (Abu Musab Zarqawi) boasting on a web site does not make it fact.There is plenty of evidence concerning his many activities outside Iraq.None mention an attack on Israel though.

Reliable information on this man lists all the attacks he was involved with,none of them mention Israel.
Reliable information on this man make no mention of him boasting about an attack on Israel.
Concerning this case all there is are obscure and unreliable news stories and blog sites with no links as to where this information has come from.
And the UN also says that factions within Saudi Arabia supply Hamas,and have done since Hamas was formed.Go look it up.

"Zarqawi has tried to attack Israeli targets for a long time. We know for a fact that Al Qaeda has been pondering attacking inside the Israeli border, so it's nothing new, but we should see it as part of a trend," says Yoram Schweitzer, an expert on Al Qaeda at the Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University.
"The reaction in Lebanon shows that even Hizbullah is a little bit frustrated," he adds, "not that they mind Israel being attacked, but they don't like anyone else trying to control their territory."
Indeed, the attempt of Al Qaeda operatives to gain ground in southern Lebanon, which has long been a magnet for militant groups, appears to have irked Hizbullah, or the Party of God, the primary military and political organization controlling the south of the country.
Hizbullah has moved toward a sort of hostile quiet with Israel during the more than five years since Israel withdrew from its occupied "security zone" in Lebanon.
It appears likely, many observers say, that the attacks were perpetrated by Palestinian militants who would like to link their agenda with Al Qaeda's.

The very article you use to try and back your argument questions the validity of any rocket attacks being from Al-Qaeda!

Did you stop reading after the first paragraph,or the title?
Under US interrogation, his rich experience in charting al Qaeda’s offensive in the West has come to light. Al Hadi is now credited with plotting the first direct al Qaeda suicide attack inside Israel on direct orders from Osama bin Laden.
JERUSALEM – A suicide attack today in Egypt's Sinai desert near the Israeli border and a second, nearly simultaneous foiled large-scale bombing against the main Israel-Gaza crossing were coordinated by al-Qaida and mark the global jihad group's first strike inside the Jewish state, senior Palestinian security officials told WND.
In what may be a sign that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terror group is expanding its operations, Al Qaeda in Iraq has posted a statement claiming responsibility for firing missiles from Lebanon into northern Israel earlier this week.
