Never mind that Sarkozy was honest in his statement. Honesty is not the issue here. Pretending you are going along with the other guy's policies, which is standard diplomatic protocol, i.e. lying in your teeth, is the only important thing here.

Aha, when hamas is elected you want people to respect. when the israeli people elects a tough democratic leader (not like hamas) you want like a imperator to tell us how to create the government?!??! shame on you!

French Presidents and FM are a consistently anti Israel and totally untrustworthy. Sarkozy identifying with Livni confirms that the" peas in the French pod are always very rotten " as far as Israel goes. I love Lieberman more and more.

and that's great news for all zionists. Well done. C'est la vie Monsieur le President. Nous sommes tres heureux to know how you really feel, but we knew anyway didnt we, n'est ce pas?

"I'd love to but I can't ... ". Bibi

What arrogance! What makes him think he has the right to tell the Israeli people who can and cannot be foreign minister? Sarkozy has no right to meet with Bibi and try and dictate to him who can and who cannot be foreign minister. He is meddling in the affairs of Israel, and his glowing endorsement of Livni proves this. No Israeli politicians call for the sacking of French leaders, and the French should show some respect and not interfere in our affairs. This just shows how little the French government values their relationship with us. Their inaction over anti-Semitism in France further proves how little they care about Jews and Israel. Until this incident, I respected Sarkozy. I thought he was a good leader. But his immature behavior shows that he is nothing more than a rude, arrogant man who just happens to be France's PM.

What this foolish Sarkosy really said was: "Why you make it difficult to us putting somebody who loves Israel as FM? Why didn't you keep your previous FM who was always ready to accept what we say!" Good propaganda for Livni! Our enemies want her!!!

Dear Mr. Sarkozy, It is no easy task to bounce an ex-Moldavan bouncer

the USA also doing it they don't declare but untill now they met only with Netaniau and Peres, while Liberman is the forign affairs minister. the franch just say what USA want them to say, kinda lame. they try to presure Israel through un offical mediators.

B"H FM Lieberman is outsted. The fact that Barak is allowed to do what he does is the proof.

Seems like no contest here. Lieberman may not be my favorite person, but at least he seems to be in favor of Israel. Tell Sarkozy to go back to his mirrors--we have no need for him and his meddling ways.
