1. So long as this remains policy..
P ,   Philadelphia   (04.20.10)
The west should lessen any aid or military sales to Israel. It's one thing to support an ally, but when they're not serious about peace... Sadly, it seems Palestinians have trouble with right-wing nogoodniks of their own right now.
2. Lieberman is right on target
Brod ,   USA   (04.20.10)
Lieberman is eloquent on the subject and is right on target. It is time the world understands the facts and stops being deceived and manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadist world in buldozing their craps on Israel.
3. no more gestures till we get reciprocal gestures
Pete ,   Bat Yam   (04.20.10)
We have gotten nothing in return for all our gestures except increased terrorism
4. No need to impose peace
Ronen ,   Ramat Gan   (04.20.10)
Once there are internationally recognized borders then both sides know where they have rights and where not. So better impose the final borders and peace will follow.
5. He's just speaking what most people...
Paul ,   USA   (04.20.10)
already know. Just wonder when the rest of the foreign powers finally catch on.
6. a demagogue if there ever was one

7. @1
Levi ,   USA   (04.20.10)
thanks for the laughs.
8. Paul, NO foreign powers agree with the racist FM...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.20.10)
...he's looked at like a clown the world over. He ran as a racist thug during the elections, and he will go down like all other racist thugs go down. And President Barack Hussein Obama is just the right man to do it.
9. #1-If IL doesnt want to commit suicide,US must punish it
Alan ,   SA   (04.20.10)
severely! Why should a Muslim born and raised Pres(OK now he says he is a Christian)- with no birth or University papers to show,- be allowed by us to set a chain of events in motion to destroy the first and only Independent Jewish homeland since Biblical Times(apart from Soviet Birobidjan). Its not the "WEST" .... Its Obama. With Israel or without Israel ,Islam is on the move .From Philipines to Atlantic. Obama only wants to kick out a difficult Israel govt so it can be replaced by a pliable one .Like Beilin, Livni,Barak types We got only a few more years of his dammage to endure ,then he will be history
10. Israel should not pay ANY price for peace.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.20.10)
As Lieberman noted, many times Israel has "paid a high price for peace". What Lieberman fails to note is that the result is inevitably disastrous. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, Israel should not pay ANY price for peace. Just like America didn't sacrafice for peace with the former Soviet Union. The parties made peace because they felt it was in their interest. Secondly, the "peace" offered to Israel is nothing but the slow dismemberment of our sole, tiny Homeland. As our enemies constantly assert in their covenants and on PA tv every day. Let our defeated enemies pay for peace.
11. # 8
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.20.10)
Cherokee your dream of a divided Jerusalem will never come true. Now be a good looser & hush up. We have all been telling you that Jerusalem will not be divided & Obama cant do a thing about it, except to cut out aid. As for Lieberman he wont "go down" he has the guts to tell it straight which you just dont like.
12. lieberman propganda: nobody said jerusalem should be divided
eporue ,   europe   (04.20.10)
or given away. not the pres nor hillary. only lieberman, bibi and the extremists.
13. "Current government made confidence-building measures"
Ronen ,   Ramat Gan   (04.20.10)
Just confirms that Lieberman is a serial liar. Fact is, the right-wing government did nothing else for the past year other than sabotaging the prospect for negotiations.
14. fascist racist nationalist extreme patriots with compulsory
observer   (04.20.10)
loyalty oath are a few of Lieberman's traits; the same which swept Europe in the thirties.
15. Human Beings first evolved in Africa..
ac3 ,   san francisco, ca   (04.20.10)
It does NOT mean that Africa belongs to ALL humans...
16. Annexation of East Jerusalem was never recognized
Mucki   (04.20.10)
Since Lieberman confirms that Israel does not want to negotiate, an imposed solution is fully justified.
17. Jerusalem not negotiable
Gila   (04.20.10)
and East Jerusalem not negotiable for the Palestinians. I suggest to give East Jerusalem a different name so it will be easier to swallow.
18. #6 Jerusalem unites Jewish people!
David Lev ,   Shilo Israel   (04.20.10)
If you don't get that, then you don't get anything about Judaism.
19. Michael Hess, the grade 5 educator
Eyal ,   USA   (04.20.10)
Michael Michael, what are we going to do with your stupidity, I guess it's a lost cause? Jerusalem (Yerushalyim) is united with the Jewish people whether you agree or not. The only people who disagree are Muslims. Are you a Muslim flake too? Our foreign Minister is not as hard line as our previous leaders. If you follow history, which you don't, you would realize that Begin, Ben Gurion were a lot more radical than Lieberman. I only wish Kahana was still alive. He would really piss you off. hehehehe
20. Alan in SA, have I told you lately...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.20.10)
...that you are stark raving mad and a lunatic? OK, well I just did. Here in the United States, "birthers" - those like you who cannot accept that President Obama is an American and a Christian, are derided as hopeless racist thugs to be watched by the US Secret Service lest they take it upon themselves to go all Timothy McVeigh on the country with their seething hatred and insanity. President Obama will be in office until 2016, you should read more. The expected historic slide in the midterms will work in his favor, also as a matter of history. There's no more running from peace, and if you think it is so great in Israel, make Aliyah. I know you don't because you know what is coming.
21. Birdi, where's that map with Jerusalem?
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.20.10)
...that's right. No map. You don't even know the difference between 1967 Jerusalem and present day Jerusalem, they are way two different things. And I love how you think Israel does not need America. Don't worry, I will do my best to make sure that the US no longer contributes ANYTHING to Israels occupations that endanger US troop and American interests in the region. This week my most important topic will be the restriction of donations from Americans that go to further Israel's occupations. You want some news, keep your eyes open for that news announcement. That is, if I am allowed to preview that it's coming. There's gonna be a map birdi, because time's up.
22. Does Liberman support 2-state solution or Apartheid state?
Victor   (04.20.10)
Perhaps he simply does not support any negotiations.
23. Right-wing trying again to undermine negotiations
Lilo ,   Holon   (04.20.10)
and then they wonder that an imposed solution is considered.
24. “Palestinian” interest in the Temple Mount starts in 1967.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (04.20.10)
Jerusalem simply never held any sanctity for the muslims themselves, but only for the Jews in their domain. It can be seen that significant Islamic interest in the Temple Mount does not precede the Six-Day War. The 13th century Arab biographer Yakut noted: «Mecca is holy to muslims; Jerusalem is holy to the Jews». PLO leader Yassir Arafat and the Arabs claimed the Holy Jewish Temple Mount and Jerusalem based upon one extraordinarily huge lie told over and over again. The truth is simple Jerusalem is Jewish, should never be devided again and should not be up for negotiations as described at : http://xrl.us/bjheo

Yeh OK and I am the only man who can fly.
26. Somebody mentioned reciprocity. Totally agree.
leo ,   usa   (04.20.10)
Jews left Gaza. It is time for Arabs to leave Jerusalem.
27. Eyal, UNSCR 478, educate that!
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.20.10)

Brod ,   USA   (04.20.10)
GOD created human beings. Evolution is the product of and god of Paganism.
29. Lieberman feels united with EJ'lem Arab neigborhoods
Ben   (04.20.10)
Israel does not need an Arab East Jerusalem.
30. Ron B, try the farthest mosque in the quran...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.20.10)
...if you are going to hate something with every fiber in your being, shouldn't you learn what it really is first? Such a fool...
