European Hypocrisy Over Libya

Not only is NATO aiding jihadists in Libya, but what further gets me is the hypocrisy of Britain and France, who supported the Goldstone report’s lies about Israeli “war crimes” in Gaza, are wantonly bombing a country which has not threatened Europe. But Israel is told to use the utmost restraint against terrorists in its own back yard. Further reasons to disdain Europe.

Contacts between insurgents and al Qaeda for the announcement of jihad in Libya Ennahar Online
“Abu Muslim al Djazairi”, a member of the legal commission of the organization al Qaeda, called Libyan insurgents to proceed with the formation of an armed organization and quit the opposition of the National Council of Transition, whom he accuses of allegiance to the West.

•Abu Muslim El Djazairi, the number two in the tribune "Menbar Ettawhid wel Jihad," after Al Maqdici, considered an important member of Al Qaeda organization, responding to a letter sent by a Libyan insurgent who called himself “Abu Djendel Ellib” has advised him to proceed in the formation of an armed organization that would combine the real revolutionaries, insisting that this should be done in the utmost discretion because, as he said, the fight has not yet begun.
Abu Muslim advised the insurgents also to coordinate their efforts with other terrorist organizations that activate in other regions.

NATO Bombs Libyan Capital in Heaviest Strikes Yet
NYT
TRIPOLI, Libya — In the heaviest attack yet on the capital since the start of the two-month-old NATO bombing campaign, alliance aircraft struck at least 15 targets in central Tripoli early Tuesday, with most of the airstrikes concentrated on an area around Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s command compound.

The strikes, within a 30-minute period around 1 a.m., caused thunderous explosions and fireballs that leapt high into the night sky, causing people in neighborhoods a mile or more away to cry out in alarm.

Just as one strike ended, the sound of jet engines from low-flying aircraft in the stormy skies above the capital signaled the imminence of another. Huge plumes of black smoke rose and converged over the darkened cityscape.

“We thought it was the day of judgment,” one enraged Libyan said.

The intensity of the attacks, and their focus on the area of the Bab al-Aziziya command compound in central Tripoli, appeared to reflect a NATO decision to step up the tempo of the air war over the Libyan capital, perhaps with a view to breaking the stalemate that has threatened to settle over the three-month-old Libyan conflict.

I am the campaign manager for the "Free Gilad Shalit!" Billboard effort. We are trying to raise money to put up this billboard near the UN. I have been in touch with the Shalit family and they want to see it go up. I am looking to reach as many people as possible with this message. I am hoping you could write about my efforts and post the link to the campaign on your blog (also maybe to your facebook and twitter). I also have high profile endorsements from Alan Dershowitz, Nonie Darwish (of Arabs for Israel) and radio show host LiAmi Lawrence (I spoke on his show). Any help with getting the word out is greatly appreciated as are all monetary donations large or small. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

Here is the link to the campaign:
