Source: Tunisian protesters shouted 'Death to the Jews'

“This is a new phenomenon,” said the Tunisian source. “Until now, we have not heard this. Perhaps the people were thinking it, but we have not heard it. Now they feel free to say what they wish, what is in their hearts.” Members of the Jewish community are meanwhile staying out of sight, the source said. “Jews are very afraid, and trying not to show themselves.”

Situation in Libya, the Jews of Libya, and Civil War

Reposted from Rabbi Kaufman 

Jewish Libyan group: Bloodshed greater than reported

http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishNews/Article.aspx?id=209236

 

There is interesting background information on the Jewish community of Libya and also some history of modern Libya in the article. The author is clearly not a believer that the popular uprising in Libya is a democratic one, but instead is part of a civil war between tribes with the opposition being "Political Islamists." Where have we heard this story before???

 

Again, we can only hope that democratic reforms and not a new and potentially worse type of tyranny are in the offing should the horrible dictatorship fall.

President will reportedly veto Palestinian UNSC resolution

According to Khaled Abu Toameh, President Obama told Palestinian President Abbas on Thursday night that the United States will veto a 'Palestinian' sponsored Security Council resolution condemning Israel when and if it comes to a vote on Friday night. As a result, there is an emergency meeting of the Fatah and PLO executives on Friday.

Cantor and Hoyer: US should veto UNSC resolution

Joint Statement From Eric Cantor and Steny Hoyer

"As we wrote to the President last month, the Palestinian leadership's decision to reject the difficult but vital responsibility of making peace with Israel through direct negotiations, and instead to advocate for anti-Israel measures by the United Nations Security Council is counterproductive and unacceptable. Successive Israeli governments have proven Israel's steadfast commitment to peace and our Secretary of State has noted that the current Israeli government took an 'unprecedented' step in pursuit of peace with its ten-month moratorium on Israeli housing construction in the West Bank. Furthermore, since the beginning of the current Israeli government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for direct negotiations with the Palestinians anytime and anywhere, without preconditions. "Instead of negotiating directly with Israel to achieve a peaceful solution to the conflict, Palestinian leaders continue to seek to circumvent the negotiating process by advocating anti-Israel measures at the U.N. Security Council, U.N. General Assembly, and U.N. Human Rights Council. The U.S. should not condone or reward this behavior by supporting their resolutions. We strongly urge the Administration to veto this resolution and to uphold our longstanding commitment to Israel's security."
