Libya's Gaddafi could find refuge in Israel

Libya's Gaddafi could find refuge in Israel

Israel’s Channel 2 News last year interviewed two Israeli women of Libyan origin who claimed to be distant relatives of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The older of the two interviewees, Guita Brown, said she is Gaddafi’s second cousin (Brown’s grandmother was the sister of Gaddafi’s grandmother). The younger of the two women, Rachel Saada, granddaughter of Brown, explained in more detail:

“The story goes that Gaddafi’s grandmother, herself a Jewess, was married to a Jewish man at first. But he treated her badly, so she ran away and married a Muslim sheikh. Their child was the mother of Gaddafi.”

While Gaddafi’s grandmother converted to Islam when she married the sheikh, according to Jewish religious law (and common sense), she was ethnically still Jewish.

At this point the news anchor stated, “So, the point is that Gaddafi doesn’t just have Jewish relatives, he is Jewish!”

Rumors of Gaddafi’s Jewish background are nothing new. But with the current uprising in Libya that threatens to ultimately overthrow the dictator, as has happened in the neighboring countries of Tunisia and Egypt, Gaddafi may be looking for an exit strategy.

If the story told by Brown and Saada is true, Gaddafi is entitled to immigrate to Israel as a Jew under Israel’s Law of Return. Even if every other country on earth refused him entry, Israel would be obligated by its own laws to take Gaddafi in.

At the time of the interview, the anchor quipped, “I am sure there is some local authority in Israel that would be pleased to have a former president on its staff.”

He certainly could go to Israel, and then be in time for his appointment in the International Court in the Hague to answer for his crimes.

Many ended up being invited to dance at a necktie party.
And others who built the V1 & V2 rockets were invited to the US.
Otherwise, the Russians nabbed them.

I dont understand the selectiveness in where the west interevenes and where it doesnt.

It allows Saudi firces to enter Bharain and start killing unarmed demonstrators

The US vetoes UN resolutions concerning the Israeli occupation of Palestinine.   

Turns a blind eye at blatant war crimes

When you are inconsistent, you can bet that there are other motives behind the Libyan no fly zones.

And you can enforce a no-fly zone by simply shooting Libyan jets. The USA launches 110 missles from navy ships - how is this enforcing a no-fly zone?

Then they claim that they have the support of the Arab League of Nations - lol (what you mean the gang of fascist dictators that the west has been propping up for decades so that public can be kept in poverty and democracy kept from flourishing whilst the despots line their pockets with oil blood money)

This will get ugly
