Gaddafi tells Palestinians: revolt against Israel

TRIPOLI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Palestinian refugees should capitalise on the wave of popular revolts in the Middle East by massing peacefully on the borders of Israel until it gives in to their demands, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said on Sunday.

He was giving his first major speech since a popular uprising in neighbouring Egypt forced President Hosni Mubarak to resign, an event which electrified the Arab world and prompted speculation that other Arab governments could also be toppled.

"Fleets of boats should take Palestinians ... and wait by the Palestinian shores until the problem is resolved," Gaddafi was shown saying on state television. "This is a time of popular revolutions."

"We need to create a problem for the world. This is not a declaration of war. This is a call for peace," he said in a speech given to mark the birthday of the Prophet Mohamed, a holy day in the Islamic calendar.

He also said: "All Arab states which have relations with Israel are cowardly regimes."

#8  Methinks it is the peacefully part of the 'massing peacefully on the borders of Israel' that is the point of failure in this scenario.

Is there anything left to nibble on?

NEVER underestimate the power of spirochetes working in a social network!

#5  Gaddafi sounds like he is worried. Don't know why he should be, he is not an ally of the US, so he will be safe from them.

#3  Isn't there room enough in Lybia's desert to find a new homeland for the Paleos?

#2  Gaddafi revolting? Definition of revolting: Causing abhorrence or disgust.

We're not surprised Gaddafi is abhorrent and disgusting. We've all known that for years. Can we add "cross-dressing dipwad" to the definition?
