* Libyan leader says refugees should mass on Israel's shores
* 'This is a time of popular revolutions': Gaddafi
* Accuses Western powers of being enemies of Islam
TRIPOLI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Palestinian refugees should capitalise on the wave of popular revolts in the Middle East by massing peacefully on the borders of Israel until it gives in to their demands, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said on Sunday.
Gaddafi also issued a call to Muslim countries to join forces against Western powers. He said the world was divided into white, denoting the United States, Europe and their allies, and green for the Muslim world. "The white colour has decided to get rid of the green colour," Gaddafi said. "These countries should be united against the white colour because all of these white countries are the enemies of Islam."

No, the guy is not stupid - he's been in control of Libya for over 40 years, since 1969 I believe. He saw how quickly two other long term dictators in his backyard (Ben Ali, Tunisia & Mubarek, Egypt) bit the dust recently. This may be a plan to distract Libyans from doing the same and overthrowing his dictatorship.
Nothing new here: an Arab leader once again using the exploited Palestinians to shine the spotlight away from his own repressive regime. The question is, will it work? If the Algerian Government is next to fall, no doubt, Gaddafi and his boys will be on extremely shaky ground.

Gaddafi is a tool. Never has any muslim or country ever listened to his ramblings in the history of the world.
Unless his ideology spreads like fire in the middle east, nothing will happen.
