I'm really confused here.  For the benefit of those of us who are
less well informed than you please tell me

   1) the date of the last Libyan election, the candidates, the voter
      turnout, the amount of free press allowed during the election,
      and, of course, the winner.

   2) in what sense the leader of Libya is a Jew?  Dark skin?  a keen
      sense of humor?  an aversion to pork?  A predilection for medical
      school? ( :-) if it's really necessary).
