Holy War against Israel

Did I miss something? I read this morning that Al Qaida just declared a holy war against Israel. I understand the benefit of repetition, but how many times do you need to declare war against someone. Who hasn’t Al Qaida declared war against? Also how do they reconcile the fact that Al Qaida believes the Shia to be apostates worthy of death, when it’s the shia who are currently fighting Israel in Lebanon. I suppose it is possible that Al Qaida is willing to overlook these doctrinal differences for short term gain… (except in the case of Saddam - they apparently refused to overlook such doctrinal differences with Saddam Hussein and did not assist Saddam in the least in his war with the West… or so the Left and Federal Farmer tells us so).
