Gadhafi: Change Israel to ‘Isratine’

Libyan leader proposes new democracy, rejects Saudi plan

DUBAI, March 25 — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi said Israel should be replaced by a democracy called “Isratine” where unarmed Israelis and Palestinians could live in peace. “If the Jews want peace, they should accept to live in peace and drop arms with their Palestinian brethren,” Gadhafi said in an interview with al-Jazeera satellite television.

GADHAFI, WHO HAS rejected a Saudi Middle East peace bid, said it was “impossible” to create an independent Palestinian state along with Israel because “the Israelis would not accept to live within the range of Palestinian guns.”

Gadhafi put forward his own Middle East peace plan at an Arab summit last year. It included demands for dismantling weapons of mass destruction in the region and the return of 7 million Palestinian refugees.

“The initiatives that have been imposed on Arabs ... resulted in the blood that is being shed,” Gadhafi said, referring to the 18-month Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation.

The Saudi initiative, the top issue on the agenda of the upcoming Arab summit, envisages Arab normalization with the Jewish state in return for full Israeli withdrawal from Arab land occupied during the 1967 Middle East war.

Gadhafi said Israel should also dismantle its weapons of mass destruction and withdraw from occupied Syrian land if it wanted peace with non-Palestinian Arabs.

Why doesn't Gahdawful offer some Libyan territory for the Palestine homeland? Or, for that matter, why doesn't Jordan? Or Saudi Arabia? Or, even better, Iran (just think of the savings Iran would see on shipping costs for arms).

"The Saudi initiative, the top issue on the agenda of the upcoming Arab summit, envisages Arab normalization with the Jewish state in return for full Israeli withdrawal from Arab land occupied during the 1967 Middle East war."

That sure is a contortion to avoid saying the territory was won or taken. I have never seen that wording for a country winning territory. Sounds like Israel just wandered in when the Arabs weren't looking and never left.

(What else expect from Reuters, anyway?)

“the Israelis would not accept to live within the range of Palestinian guns.”

Well, duh!

[veronica]

I think Gahdafi should change the name of Libya to Freedonia

I've said for years that Seattle should be "Bunnyville".

Old news. The 1979 film Americathon depicts the consequences of a Jewish/Arab anschluß. Hijinks ensue when the fellow Semites set aside ther differences and form "The United Hebrab Republic", which controls the entire Middle East, including all the oil reserves.

"Gadhafi said Israel should be replaced by a democracy called “Isratine” where unarmed Israelis and Palestinians could live in peace. "

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Yeah right, like that is ever going to happen? You could really disarm them all and they would still be butting each other with their heads. More proof if any was needed, that Ga-Daffy lives with his head up his a$$.

He wants Israel to change their name, and no news organization ever spells his the same way twice?
LOL.

Google search results for the name of the leader of Libya

The Middle Eastern animals have no intention for peace with Israel or the US. They never have and never will until they're introduced to the diplomacy of a Daisy Cutter.

Why not just cut to the chase and call the new country Auschwitz?

Anyone remember a movie called "Americathon" (sometime in the 1970s, I think), about a telethon to repay the national debt? With a rather Jerry Brown like president?

I seem to recall that one of the jokes was that Egypt and Israel had merged to form the "United Hebrab Republic".

Maybe Muammar's been watching old movies.
