Israel flanked by China, al Qaeda
Hezbullah, with a green light from Iran, has already allowed 10-15 al Qaeda operatives infiltrate Gaza.
Hezbullah and Iranian allies planning to take over Ein Hilweh.
A base on the Lebanese coast under the protection of Beirut’s Syrian overlords would enable Teheran to project power southwards towards Israel, northwards towards Turkey and westwards towards Europe.

Both al Qaeda and China have moved to the south of Israel.
Egypt cognizant of the fact that they are marked for infiltration by the United States and quite probably Israel who wish to tighten control over them announces they are ready to promote ties with China. This seems a means by which Egypt might also benefit from China’s protection. Egypt is very important to China as Chinese enterprises could see Egypt as a springboard for expanding their businesses in Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
#msg-4246778
Al-Qaeda has become extremely aggressive not only in Pakistan but in the Middle East and North Africa the same areas in which China desires to expand their businesses. China is a long time supporter of al Qaeda.
#msg-4317507
Israel accuses al-Qaeda of masterminding the chain of blasts targeting Israeli tourists in Egypt's Red Sea resorts instead of the usual radical Palestinian militant groups.
#msg-4246778
In addition to Hezbullah and Iranian allies planning to take over Ein Hilweh in Lebanon, China in essence a major supporter of Iran by way of the recently signed $100 billion plus gas deal with Iran plans to further army-to-army ties with Lebanon.
This puts China, al Qaeda and Iran to the north and south of Israel.
Thus we have Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom arriving in Beijing on Friday for a four-day visit to China.

China and Lebanon to further army-to-army ties.
