The representative of the World Organization of Libyan Jews in the US, based in Or Yehuda is contacting Transitional Council officials in Libya. Representative, David Gerbi, who made the headlines when he returned to Tripoli after the fall of Gaddafi in an attempt to restore one of the oldest synagogues in the city, continue his efforts to strengthen ties with Libya's temporary administration officials, trying to create a link that will allow continued cooperation in the future and the return of Jews to the state.
"We want to snatch the opportunity to preserve our heritage," said the Chairman of the World Organization of Libyan Jews. "We want to go back there - not to stay there, but to go back to our roots. We do not forget the worst tragedies the Libyan people caused to us, but we think that the people in Libya can be enlightened, democratic and free, if the authorities are not fanatic like Gaddafi."
World Organization of Libyan Jews expressed support for opposition forces during the coup in Libya in recent months, as well as representatives of the rebels have expressed a desire to improve relations with "Israel". A spokesman from the opposition, Ahmed Shibani, asked in an interview with Haaretz ""Israel" to help overthrow Gaddafi".
After the tyrant's death, the Chairman of the organization, Kahlon sent Libya's transitional council chairman, Mustafa Jalil, a letter expressing his support for the Jewish community in the new government, and suggested the organization's assistance in establishing the new regime.
"There are parties in the new administration who see the Jews of Libya as a worthwhile party they should cooperate with" says Kahlon, "because it opens doors for them in the larger world. There is a new and young generation in Libya, many of them who lived and were educated in Europe, want to bring Western values to Libya. The question is whether a democratic government will be established, and then it is important that the gates are opened, and trade cooperation and ties are renewed in a return to the old good days."

The threatened life of the southerners has become a normal fact for all of us. Most of the population has got used to hearing long and short range missiles whose launchers aim to target civilians with.
We are getting used to hearing that the "Israeli" army has responded and bombarded the very accurate limited targets. Sometimes the clear fact should be said loudly - as long as our leaders are suffering from risky side effects that disable them from looking into the audience eyes and tell them the truth.
The fear of writing down or broadcasting via loud speakers what we all know hidden in the hearts of decision-makers is maybe because we worry about them to be brought to trial to question their policies. We are all aware that if a missile is fired from Gaza and hits - God forbids- a nursery, we will be clashing with Hamas ... I am worried about the children and their families. I don't envy any parent who feels that his child is threatened by a fatal missile; this will be an excuse of the decision-makers to do what they should have done long time ago to maintain the security of "Israel"'s population.
Are you, as parents living in the central region, ready to accept such a saying? Will you be sending the closest and nearest of yours to the Russian roulette and wonder whether he'll return home safely or not? I suppose the answer is No, I believe you would do your best to protect your child and move him out of the danger zone.
It is similar to the frog and boiled water story. For those who do not know it, the story is as follows: boiled water was poured inside a bowl a frog was in. the frog instantly jumped out of it. Then, the frog was put in a bowl of moderate water and the bowl was heated slowly. The frog adapted to the slowly heated water, and once it felt the danger, it was too late, and it was cooked to death.

A reserve force was assigned to be placed in each base. Basically, these troops are assigned at the military base for other missions, and currently it is unlikely to implement crowd-control means.
"Soldiers have to stop the entry of any unauthorized person military base, these were serious incidents," a senior defense official in the division told the army's website. According to this senior official it is estimated that there will be no infiltrations in the near future. "Rules of opening fire have not changed," he added.
