Is there a reason why jihadists are not eliminated before they strike?

Iraqi Shi’ite leader: War in Gaza is global war, ‘American economy must be destroyed’

“Shi’ite Iraqi Militia Official Yousuf Al-Nasseri: Americans Are ‘Brainless Cowboys’, Diabolical, Bloodthirsty; We Should Not Fall Victim To A ‘Manifest Infidel’ Like Trump,” MEMRI, November 8, 2024:

Mainstream Western analysts will pay no attention, and continue to assume that the Israeli conflict with the “Palestinians” is about land, and can be ended by giving the “Palestinians” a state and forcing other Israeli concessions. Those analysts don’t even understand, or care to understand, why al-Nasseri says that the Gaza war is a global war, or why the American economy has to be destroyed, other than because the U.S. is ostensibly an ally of Israel. There is a much deeper and more important reason, but the Western intelligentsia doesn’t care to examine it.
