[Dr.Aaron Lerner - IMRA: "there is concern that Global Jihad will cooperate
with extremist elements in the region such as Hezbollah and Hamas."

That's why the geniuses running the Olmert team agreed to an arrangement
with Hamas according to which Global Jihad (and anyone else) can arm, train
etc. forces in the Gaza Strip without any Israeli interference as long as
they don't - for the time being - shoot too much.]
