About the "tolerance" of Qaddafi for the Jews of Libya:
When Col. Qaddafi came to power in 1969, all Jewish property was confiscated and all debts to Jews cancelled. In 1999, the synagogue in Tripoli was renovated, however, it was not reopened.4
The last Jew living in Libya, Esmeralda Meghnagi, died in February 2002. This marked the end of one of the world's oldest Jewish communities, which traced its origins to the 3rd century B.C.E.5

Somehow it's not RT and synagogue in Tripoli still doesn't exist despite the current democracy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History..._Jews_in_LibyaBy the time Colonel Muammar Gaddafi came to power in 1969 only about 100 Jews remained in Libya.

Did the small number remaining Jews of millenniums old community a reason to steal them?
Surely not, but it's a joke to relate it to Gaddafi rule. After he attempted to compensate it years later he was accused of being a jewand was forced to drop the idea. How many jews live in Syria?
Qaddaffi just brought to an what was started by his predecessors.Surely not, but it's a joke to relate it to Gaddafi rule. After he attempted to compensate it years later he was accused of being a jew
As for Syria, search a bit and learn about the Jews' condition under the Assad clan before arguing tolerance.
No, he coudn't drop down it and it would be useless and harmful to him in Arab World. It's pity that you don't understand the simple idea.
Let's not go into things like: jews are suffering, Sunnies are suffering, everyone is suffering uner Assad, because syrians support him as a leader in bulk by a simple reason - they suspect that after rebels or "friends" coming into Syria they'll simply disappear from there as an object of suffering.
And I well understand them.
I don't understand what you say.
The one who initiated the Jews topic was Lynx. By replying to the answers given to him, you engaged on this subject.It's pity that you don't understand the simple idea.

I can discuss the present and the past in Syria. As for the future, I'm not prophet to predict what may happen.

A top Jordanian Salafist leader said on Tuesday eight jihadists have been arrested as they tried to cross the border into neighbouring Syria to fight President Bashar Al Assad's forces.
"The Jordanian authorities have recently arrested eight jihadists as they attempted to go to Syria for jihad. They are currently in the Zarqa prison waiting for prosecutors to charge them," Abed Shehadeh, known as Abu Mohammad Tahawi, said.
Jihadists on one side and freedom fights on the other.
Read again what I wrote, it seems that you did not understand it first time. Also read this

It seems that Julian Assange works for RT now. His first interview with Nasrallah about Syria.

Propaganda war in media ........some one should a story on MP
And I have Arab relatives who live there now, so who knows more - me or you?
First hand information from those who either worked in Libya and was there in the first days of revolt and those who live in Syria now. And, believe me, they aren't TV journalists.
My bet is on Camera and kalerab knowing more than you.
@themacedonian: Good article. I agree with it for the most part. I've seen some pretty wacky videos put out by desperate opposition, but for the most part it's true. A lot of it has to do with being so desperate for help due to the increasing brutality. Some of them are practically begging for an intervention. No FSA wants to show to the world the fact that they do execute many of captured Syrian soldiers and there have been ransoms held. It's a bloody civil war, but the Assad regime is committing major war crimes and something needs to be done about it.
HRW has another opinion about it.
Hehe, good article, thanks, themacedonianTake for example a recent documentary, shot by a videographer known as "Mani" in Homs and broadcast on Britain's Channel 4. Mani embedded with a group of activists in January and February this year as parts of Homs, then a rebel stronghold,
were bombed into the ground by the Syrian army. One scene shows the activists filming from a rooftop. After one of the activists, "Tellawi", bemoans their distance from the frontlines, a colleague suggests lighting a tyre on fire to imitate smoke caused by a mortar strike. The video dispatch is filmed, complete with on-the-scene smoke rising up behind.
