One of the most outspoken advocates for the Western effort to rid Libya of the Great Loon is now barred from entering the country…because he is a Jew. The Independent reports (h/t National Review):
[French celebrity philosopher Bernard-Henri] Lévy was a vocal advocate of the French and British-led military intervention which helped to topple the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. He is credited with helping to persuade Mr Sarkozy to send French warplanes to protect rebels from Gaddafi’s forces. According to the French news website Rue89, Mr Lévy was banned from Mr Sarkozy’s visit to Libya earlier this week because the municipal authorities in Tripoli feared his Jewish background would make him a target for attacks by Islamist militia.
Remember: the Islamists making it impossible for a humanitarian advocate who happens to be Jewish to step foot on Libyan soil are not insane, rabid, foam-flecked anti-Semites suffering from a disabling mental disease and in thrall to the powers of evil.
They are thoughtful and responsible anti-Zionists concerned with the policy errors being made by the Jewish state.
