Antisemitism in Libya

I do not always presuppose that all revolutions in the Middle East will turn out to be representatives of antisemitic sympathies. The bulk of the Libyan people are desirous of their freedom and in order to obtain that end they must form a viable and stable society and government. Their attentions, therefore, must be focussed elswhere than the business of the Palestinains and Israel. They are going to have enough difficulty recreating their own country to worry about. The plight of the Palestinians will, of necessity, be a matter of secondary or even tertiary concern to them.
