Many a people confuse between being Jewish and Zionist. Gaddafi could be Jewish, so what? The world's problem, especially in the middle east are caused by the Zionists who,ostensibly, claim to be Jewish.
There are many arabs who are Jewish. Infact, probably arabs are the most authenticated Jews not the imported Khazars.
Also, Jewish is not a race it is a religion. Otherwise, why Falashas, Europeans, Chinese, Indians etc. could be Jewish?

Isn't Jewishness a race?, aren't there atheist jews?

[h=2]Tannaitic Judaism[/h]According to the Mishnah, the first written source for halakha, the status of the offspring of mixed marriages was determined matrilineally.
According to historian Shaye J. D. Cohen, in the Bible, the status of the offspring of mixed marriages was determined patrilineally. He brings two likely explanations for the change in Mishnaic times: first, the Mishnah may have been applying the same logic to mixed marriages as it had applied to other mixtures (kilayim). Thus, a mixed marriage is forbidden as is the union of a horse and a donkey, and in both unions the offspring are judged matrilineally. Second, the Tanaim may have been influenced by Roman law, which dictated that when a parent could not contract a legal marriage, offspring would follow the mother.[SUP][11][/SUP]
[h=2][edit]Contemporary Judaism[/h]All Jewish religious movements agree that a person may be a Jew either by birth or through conversion. According to halakha a Jew by birth must be born to a Jewish mother. Halakhastates that the mere acceptance of the principles and practices of Judaism does not make a person a Jew. However, those born Jewish do not lose that status because they cease to be observant Jews, even if they adopt the practices of another religion.
Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism often accept a child as Jewish if only the father is Jewish. As the various denominations of Judaism differ on their conversion processes, conversions performed by more liberal denominations are not accepted by those that are less so.
[h=3][edit]Jewish by birth[/h]According to halakha, to determine a person's Jewish status (Hebrew: yuhasin) one needs to consider the status of both parents. If both parents are Jewish then their child will also be considered Jewish, and the child takes the status of the father (e.g., as a kohen). If either parent is subject to a genealogical disability (e.g., is a mamzer) then the child is also subject to that disability. If one of the parents is not Jewish, the rule is that the child takes the status of the mother (Kiddushin 66b, Shulchan Aruch, EH 4:19).[SUP][12][/SUP] The ruling is derived from various sources including Deuteronomy 7:1-5, Leviticus 24:10, Ezra 10:2-3.[SUP][12][/SUP] Accordingly, if the mother is Jewish, so is her child, and if she is not Jewish, neither is her child considered Jewish. The child can be considered Jewish only by a process of conversion to Judaism, and the child is also freed from any disabilities and special status to which the father may have been subject (e.g., being a mamzer or kohen) under Jewish law.[SUP][13][/SUP]
All branches of Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism today maintain that the halakhic rules (i.e. matrilineal descent) are valid and binding. Reform and Liberal Judaism do not accept the halakhic rules as binding, and accept a child of one Jewish parent, whether father or mother, as Jewish if the parents raise the child as a Jew and the child fosters a Jewish identity, noting that "in the Bible the line always followed the father, including the cases of Joseph and Moses, who married into non-Israelite priestly families."

[h=1]Gaddafi regime 'ready for talks' on transition of power to rebels[/h]France, Britain and US acknowledge Nato military action alone unlikely to force Libya's leader to step down

Efforts to find a political solution to the Libyan crisis are intensifying as France, Britain and the US acknowledge that Nato military action alone is unlikely to force Muammar Gaddafi to step down.
The UN and western countries are urging formal talks between the Benghazi-based rebels and the Gaddafi regime amid new signs that Tripoli might agree to discuss a transition of power.

Alain Juppé, France's foreign minister, provided the strongest indication yet of optimism about the outcome. "Emissaries are telling us Gaddafi is ready to go, let's talk about it," he said on Tuesday. "The question is no longer about whether Gaddafi goes but when and how."

François Fillon, the French prime minister, told the national assembly that a "political solution is taking shape".
Al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi, Libya's prime minister, told the French daily Le Figaro that the regime was ready to negotiate "unconditionally" as long as Nato action ended. Gaddafi would not be involved in talks, he said, and would "respect the will of the people".

France's defence minister, Gérard Longuet, suggested on Sunday that Gaddafi could remain in Tripoli "in another room in his palace" and Nato could stop its bombing campaign while talks began.
The push for a political solution is being spearheaded by the UN envoy, Abdel-Ilah al-Khatib, who met Mahmoudi in Tripoli at the weekend. Khatib told reporters: "I am urging the parties to increase their focus on working towards a political solution. We would like to see indirect discussions evolve into direct talks."
A key issue was agreeing on a body to manage a transition. It would have to be "all-inclusive and involve representatives from all political and social groups as well as a wide range of factions, regions and tribes." He added, however, that there was a significant gap between the two sides.

President Barack Obama is backing Moscow's mediating efforts in Libya if they lead to Gaddafi stepping down.
Italy, hosting Nato's air operations, added its voice to the chorus on Tuesday. Franco Frattini, the foreign minister, told Algeria's al Khabar newspaper: "We are convinced that the Libyan crisis requires a political solution characterised by an end to fighting; Gaddafi, who lacks all legitimacy, leaving the stage; and the launching of an inclusive democratic process involving all parts of Libyan society."

Western governments admit they are worried about the lack of a decisive blow by Nato, the mounting cost of the campaign and the weakness of the rebel forces, but say they are encouraged by a widening agreement about the desired political outcome.

"There is a consensus on how to end the crisis, which is that Gaddafi has to leave power," Juppé told France Info radio. "That [consensus] was absolutely not a given two or three months ago." Initiatives by the African Union and South Africa have faded away.

"There are indications that people around Gaddafi would envisage a solution that includes him being out of power rather than in," said one diplomat. "We are hearing that from various people but it's not yet set in stone. There is an emerging international consensus around a political track and momentum is building up, but there is no breakthrough."

Libya experts suspect that ideas about Gaddafi stepping down may be being floated without official authorisation to test western reactions.
The approach of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting at the beginning of August, is also adding to pressure to find a way out of the impasse.

Later this week the Libya international contact group meeting in Istanbul is expected to channel more cash to the Transitional National Council and step up efforts for a political settlement.
Nato governments insist there can be no backtracking from the arrest warrant issued for Gaddafi by the international criminal court but continue to hope that he might yet flee to a country such as Zimbabwe, Belarus or Sudan – even though he has always insisted he will stay in Libya.

the Libya crisis will end up with a big drama, am telling you people

Libyan crisis is the big Drama!!!!

Sijasoma sheria za Wayahudi zaidi ya kilichoandikwa hapa na Arpaio.
Pamoja na yote, katika dini, tamaduni, mila na itikadi zote, kunakuweko na "kondoo weusi", "wana wapotevu".
Hata kama Gaddaffi atakuwa Yahudi wa baba na mama, kwa matendo yake hasa ya ugaidi, kwa chuki zake anazozionesha na kuzitangaza dhidi ya taifa la Wayahudi, hawawezi kumkubali. Hivi tuseme kama Osama angethibitika kuwa ni Myahudi angekubaliwa na Wayahudi wenzake? Kwa kuwa Uyahudi ni dini na sio kabila, na dini ni imani na sio uzawa, si Gaddaffi wala yeyote atakubalika kuwa ni wa dini asiyoiamini, hata kama wazazi wake walikuwa waumini wa dini hiyo.
Vyovyote viwavyo, haya ni mambo ya Ngoswe.

Libya rebels loot seized towns, says rights group

Libyan rebel fighters who capture villages from forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi have looted shops, burned homes and beaten people suspected of supporting the Libyan leader, Human Right Watch said.

Since Libya's conflict broke out five months ago, rights groups have focused on allegations of abuses by Gaddafi's forces. But the New York-based group said rebels in the Western Mountains region were committing abuses too.

"Opposition forces say they are committed to human rights, but the looting, arson, and abuse of civilians in captured towns are worrying," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch.

Libyan rebels abused civilians: Human Rights Watch

"We documented fairly widespread looting of homes and shops, the burning of some homes of suspected Gaddafi supporters and - most disturbingly - the vandalisation of three medical clinics [and] local small hospitals, including the theft of some of the medical equipment."

He said the Libyan government had committed more serious crimes, but that did not excuse the behaviour of the rebels.

Kadhafi has 'suicide plan' for capital: Russia envoy
(AFP) – 2 hours ago

MOSCOW — Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi has a "suicidal plan" to blow up the capital Tripoli if it is taken by rebels, the Kremlin's special envoy to Libya told a Russian newspaper Thursday.

"The Libyan premier told me: if the rebels seize the city, we will cover it with missiles and blow it up," Kremlin envoy Mikhail Margelov said in an interview with the Izvestia daily. Margelov met Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi al-Mahmudi last month.

"I imagine that the Kadhafi regime does have such a suicidal plan," he added, saying that Kadhafi still had plentiful supplies of missiles and ammunition. But Margelov, who has had rare access to senior Libyan officials, questioned reports that Kadhafi could be running out of arms in the drawn-out conflict. Kadhafi had still not used a single surface-to-surface missile, he argued.

"Tripoli theoretically could lack ammunition for tanks, cartridges for rifles. But the colonel has got plenty of missiles and explosives." Margelov met the Libyan prime minister on June 16 in Tripoli after holding talks in Benghazi earlier the same month. He has not met Kadhafi himself. Russia abstained from a vote on a March UN Security Council resolution that opened the way for foreign involvement and has since criticized the campaign -- particularly arms drops by France.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for talks on Libya, where Lavrov sought to play down differences between the countries.

However, the Russian foreign ministry said earlier Wednesday that Moscow would not take part in talks on Libya later this week in Turkey, which has also seen itself as a mediator in the conflict.

[h=1]"Gaddafi kuilipua Tripoli"[/h]

Kiongozi wa Libya Muammar Gaddafi

[h=4]Mjumbe maalumu wa serikali ya Urusi kuhusu Libya Mikhail Margelov, amesema Kiongozi wa Libya kanali Muammer Gaddafi ana mpango wa kufanya shambulio la kuuripua mji mkuu Tripoli iwapo utatekwa na waasi.[/h]



Katika mahojiano yake na gazeti la kila siku nchini Urusi la Izvesta ambayo yamechapishwa leo, Margelov amesema Gaddafi ana mpango wa kuulipua mji wa Tripoli endapo utachukuliwa na waasi. Mjumbe huyo amenukuliwa akisema kauli hiyo ameelezwa na Waziri Mkuu wa Libya, Baghdadi al-Mahmudi ambae alikutana nae mwezi uliyopita.
Pamoja na kuoneshwa na mshangao na hatua hiyo lakini pia alisema Gaddafi ana mizinga na miripuko mingi ya kutosha kutekeleza operesheni kama hiyo.
Margelov alikutana na waziri mkuu wa Libya mnamo tarehe 16 Juni mjniTripoli, baada ya kufanya mazungumzo mapema mwezi huo mjini Benghazi. Hata hivyo mjumbe huyo hakuweza kukutana na Gaddafi mwenyewe.
Urusi haikulipigia kura azimio la Baraza la Usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa lililofungua njia kwa majeshi ya kimataifa kuingia kijeshi nchini Libya na tangu wakati huo umekuwa ikikosoa operesheni hiyo pamoja na hatua ya Ufaransa kuwadondoshea waasi silaha.
Waasi nchini LibyaMapambano yanaendelea kwa namna tofauti nchini Libya. leo asubuhi waasi wakiwa na malori na silaha nyingine nzito waliyashambulia majeshi ya serikali katika maeneo kadhaa ya Al-Qawalish. Katika mapambano kama hayo yaliyotokea jana wanajeshi watiifu kwa Gaddafi walitumuliwa.
Mpiganaji mmoja alisema " tumekuja hapa jana, tumekaa na tumesema hatutoondoka mpaka tuhakikishe kumekuwa shwari kabisa"
Hata hivyo waasi wamesema bado, wanajeshi wa Gaddafi wapo umbali mfupi kwa upande wa mashariki, na wamekuwa wakifyatua makombora usiku kucha ingawa kulipokucha waliacha.
Kuudhibiti mji wa Al-Qawalash ni hatua muhimu kimkakati, kwa kuwa inatoa fursa kwa waasi kufika eneo hilo kutoka katika ngome yao huko milimani na kufika mpaka mji wa Garyan.
Hatua hiyo itawafanya waweze kudhibiti barabara kuu kuelekea upande wa kaskazini, ukiwa ni uelekeo pekee mkubwa kwenda Tripoli.
Wakati huohuo utawala wa Gaddafi umeishutumu Jumuiya ya kujihami (NATO) kwa madai ya kufanya mauwaji ya raia 1,100 wa nchi hiyo. Utawala huo hivi sasa unataka kumfikisha katibu mkuu wa NATO, Anders Forgh Rasmussen katika mahakama ya nchi hiyo, kutokana na tuhuma za uhalifu wa kivita, uliyotokana na hujuma za mashambulizi ya anga.
Lakini Mwendesha mashitaka mkuu wa Libya, Mohamed Zekri Mahjubi aliwaambia waandishi wa habari wa kigeni kwamba nato imefanya mashambulizi mjini Tripoli na miji mingine ambapo watu kiasi ya 4,537 wamejeruhiwa.
