No Israelis please, Libya tells trekkers
An interfaith convoy crossing the Sahara to promote coexistence in the Middle East was halted yesterday when Libya refused it entry because it included Israelis.

"Israel does not exist as a country, it is Palestine. We don't allow occupiers into our country," the Jerusalem Post quoted a Libyan official as telling nine members of the Breaking the Ice group as they tried to enter from Egypt.

According to the group's Web site, three Israelis - including a former combat pilot - are taking part in the trek, as well as the former body-double of one of Saddam Hussein's sons, a Palestinian student, an Iranian film maker and a New York City fire fighter.

Traveling by camel, on foot and in two 1960s-era German trucks, the group left Jerusalem on March 7 carrying an olive tree from the Israeli capital as a gesture of peace and goodwill.

2. To be honest, if I was an Israeli, Libya would not be high on my list
of potential holiday destinations.

5. Just exactly the reaction I expected from you. The shit link was
to prove that it ain't a one-sided street and Israeli's are every bit as bad.

7. Lump it
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=124&topic_id=115809&mesg_id=115963

When they want you they are friggin glad to have you. When a licensed my technology from one of my they didn't give a gosh darn about my race, religion, creed, or politics, or what visas where in my passport -- but when they want to show "unity" or just plain "nastiness" .....

But, I still wasn't allowed to see "my baby" in Libya.

Your link and the story posted have nothing to do with one another.
