David Gerbi, who fled to Italy with his family in 1967 as anger rose over the Arab-Israeli war, broke into the crumbling building over the weekend, but Libyan authorities quickly closed it again, saying the effort was premature. Gerbi has said he won’t give up.
Abdul-Razzaq Grisa, a 28-year-old Islamic religious student, said the main condition for Jews to return to Libya was to give all Palestinians their rights and houses back and return them to their homeland.
“If they can do that and we can see that one day maybe we will reconsider the option their existence in our country,” he said, adding he didn’t expect that to happen.
Its not happening- the Palestinians aren’t getting our land, they never had it. And why someone would want this defiled libyan land drenched with Jewish blood is beyond me- its time to come home David- Gd wants us home. Build it up- restore it, we want u…
Yup it’s the ARAB “SPRING” at work…. BTW who gave this terrorist movement that name?
I thought they only hate Zionists not Jews.

Hmmmm … sounds like the islamic fundamentalists in Libya are parroting the naturei kartoids … maybe next we’ll see the NK numbskulls flying (on Shabbos) to Tripoli to kiss their Libyan islamic brothers just the way they flew to Teheran to smooch their buddy achmadinejad …
