Shocker: In Palestinian strife, Zawahiri backs Hamas

Doesn't really give a crap about Palestinians

In Jihad-TV's latest video from al Qaeda's number 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Islamic terrorist organization gives its backing to Hamas over Fatah in the Palestenian internecine conflict. He goes on to declare that the way to Palestine's victory is through jihad, not constitutional elections.

“Any way other than holy war will lead us only to loss and defeat,” he said.

“Those who are trying to liberate the Islamic territories through elections based on secular constitutions, or on decisions to hand over Palestine to the Jews, will not liberate one grain of sand of Palestine."

Al-Jazeera Jihad-TV released a portion of the latest video, and has stated a longer clip will be released later.
