Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: Libyan govt. delegation visits Israel A Libyan business delegation loyal to embattled ruler Muammar Gaddafi has travelled to Israel and held meetings with senior Israeli politicians. It was not immediately clear why the pro-Gaddafi delegation visited Israel but according to Israeli sources, the Libyans travelled to Israel in a bid to repair the tarnished image of their nation and ruler. The Libyan delegation of four businessmen has reportedly met with Israel's opposition leader Tzipi Livni, who had expressed support for anti-Gaddafi protesters when a popular uprising began against his rule. According to Israel Channel 2 News, the Libyans gave Livni a CD containing a personal recorded message from Gaddafi. They also met with Kadima lawmaker Meir Sheetrit and Jews of Libyan origin in Netanya. The Libyan delegation's visit has caused a dispute between Israeli interior ministry and foreign ministry with each blaming the other for granting visas to the Libyans. The Libyan delegation obtained visas from the Israeli embassy in Paris after gaining approval from Israeli security services. Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports suggest that the embattled Libyan ruler might seek asylum in Israel. Israel's Channel 2 News last year interviewed two Israeli Jewish women of Libyan origin who claimed to be relatives of Gaddafi. "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", said Rachel Saada, who claimed to be a distant relative of Gaddafi. Should their story be true, which would make Gaddafi a Jewish, then Israel would be obligated by its own laws to grant him asylum. Libya has been the scene of intense fighting between government troops and revolutionary forces since mid-February. Tripoli and some western provinces remain under Gaddafi's control while the revolutionaries hold Benghazi, most of the east and several western cities. The deadly conflict has left thousands of people dead and many others wounded. Revolutionary forces want an end to Gaddafi's decades-long rule.

His son Saif went to Israel in March to beg for military assistance windowintopalestine.blogs...-israel-and-asks-for.html Ashraf How could Gaddafi be pro Israel if he was telling the world about Israel killed J.F.Kennedy because of Kennedy's opposition to their obtaining nuclear weapon and AIPAC ? How? Maybe he is trying to make a deal with them knowing they are the reason behind the attack on Libya?He is directly negotiating with Leader of the gang, as oppose to their stooges? Tatarewicz Ashraf most likely is correct. Delegation making a deal to have Israel call off its NATO attack dogs and Gaddafi keeps quiet about Palestinians having a right to get their lands back.

Ghaddafi has often beat the drums for a pan-Arab war against Israel, so this sudden secretive contact is remarkable and amusing. That he's seeking sanctuary in Israel certainly gives the lie to the claim that the Israelis are bloodthirsty killers of anyone who's Arabic. Then again, Holland gave sanctuary to the Kaiser when Germany surrendered in 1919.
