"If anyone thinks that Jews can steal into the land of their fathers, he is deceiving either himself or others. Nowhere is the coming of Jews so promptly noted as in the historic home of the Jews, for the very reason that it is the historic home." - Herzl

Between Lieberman and Baruch, Lieberman is absolutely right. It is not being simplistic. Lieberman is being realistic. The world of the dark forces-AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists is far more complex. Peace does not exist in the mind, heart and soul of the dark forces. They are full of hate and venom. From early childhood they are thought by their parents to hate and kill Jews. They grow up and become zombies-terrorists, usurpers and warmongers. The past 63 years, they launched 4 major wars against Israel to wipe off Israel. But they were defeated by Israel. Now they resort to deceiving and manipulating the world at the UN to crusade against Israel. This is nothing new. They had been doing this since the 7th century. On Marco Polo's travel to the region 800 years ago, he noted the same venom that the Islamist-Jihadists had for Israel. Israel is not the only country that the Islamist-JIhadist Crusaders are attacking. Islamist-JIhadist Crusaders are launching daily attacks on their host countries like Southern Thailand, Southern Philippines, and elsewhere around the world. The real 'Pariah' of the world is the Islamist-Jihadist world. Israel must stand strong, united and resolute against the dark forces no matter the turbulence they cause in the world. The ultimate goal of Islamist-Jihadism is to subdue, dominate and islamize the whole non-Islamist world and not just Israel.

"2 States at Peace on Either Side of the Jordan River". I LOVE this petition. Brilliant. I just signed it. Spread the word. This is the best peace plean I've seen yet. Both Palestinians and Israelis win: http://www.ipetition.com/str-asp-PetitionID_9-end-SignPetition.htm

You are absolutely in the minority. You don't like Jews defending a Jewish state against a sea of Muslim fanatics? Go pay taxes in Libya!

You are all hiding your heads in the sand like ostriches, and think that if you don't see it, it won't happen. YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT #32 IS RIGHT. ( THE AFRIKAANERS ALSO SAID THAT GOD HAD GIVEN THEM THE LAND AND SEE WHERE IT GOT THEM)

Yes this leftist said what he said, which is his opinion which he has a right to say. That is because Israel is a civilized democracy. Too bad there are no "courageous SO CALLED PALESTINIANS" who are courageous enough to condemn violence and recognize israel as a jewish state!!

Well let me tell you something mr marco of spain. I guess i am one dishonorable jew who would NOT want you as a neighbor. Under any circumstance!!

You move into a Palestinian city, and you'll see how the Israeli reality needs to be changed

To Michael: I am a proud Jew, (both parents and sets of grandparents). I was born in the good old US of A, attended Hebrew school (Conservative stream) and am a career employee. Let me assure you, that (according to surveys) about 30% of Americans harbor anti-Semitic feelings. Some, like Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, etc., show it at times, and openly. There is NO state anti-Semitism..which is what I believe you mean. The thugs at UCI (Muslims/supporters) shouted down Oren..and now accuse the FBi of anti-Islamic prejudice.Yet they are the true bigots. David Duke/Louis Farrahkan hate Jews..They are not alone. Read Abe Foxman's books for documented proof. Anti-Semitism is all around US. Dont be naive. If Israel were 75% Catholic, the problem would have gone away long ago. Not all people who hate Israel are anti-Semitic..true. But the Jewishness, is always beneath the surfac e. Why deny it? What is achieved I ask? Or as fellow employees often told me, "You Jews own everything and favor Israel". " We should send our boys to fight the JEWS in Israel, knstead of Iraq/Afghanistan". "Jews are SMART, but theives and gangsters". "Behind every buiilding (landlord), is a Jew". "You Jews have 60% of the US money". "Jews are out to control the world and own Congress". If not anti-Semitism, then what? The Israeli official's criticism, only serves Israel's enemies. He could have spoken quietly to his bosses w/o drying his laundry in public. Bad mistake.

Lieberman is one of the few Israelis who are not afraid to be politically incorrect..and tell it like it is. The Arab world hates you Jews more than they do Mubarak, the leaders of every Arab country, Ahmad and the ruler of Libya. Given their druthers..well, read Michael Oren's Six Days of War for some reality HAD the Arabs won. One Israelis mistake, and its all over but the smoke from the chinmeys. Nasser had gas vans in the Sinai. Syria emasulcated Jewish soldiers captured. Pearl was beheaded. Iran now allied with Syria. Russia is building a navel base (why?). Those millions who brought down Mubarak..next turn Israel. "On to Jerusalem is now being heard". Get it. First Soros, then J Street, then Finklestein, then Peace Now, now Baruch. To the Jews: dont wash your dirty linen in public..your necks are exposed. 150 nations will agree to your destruction, according to the PA. That IS their goal. Understand? Let it sink in. Oh I forgot Goldstone.Where ARE YOU? Are you watching LIbya?

Liberman is the next prime minister in "Israel" : )

as they love Jewish losers.

keep telling yourself those lies Alexi...they might become the truth huh ?...not!

Kobi, every & any Jew has the right to comment about Israel. It is our (the Israeli living in Israel) choice to agree or disagree with their opinion. Remember, Israel is the Jewish homeland for Jews, worldwide.

Good post Ellen, kudos to you.

I hope he did not do too much damage to Israel during his 30 year career.

I couldn't agree more - excellent response

Ilan Baruch is a career diplomat. His job is to put israels position on the table in an international arena. Under the governement this has become an almost imnpossible task when the foriegn minister and the prime minister are giving contracdictory messages. You may love or hate liebermans political view point but as a foriegn minister he is at present a disaster for international relations. Our international standing is based on prviding a single message and ensuring that are word is our bond. Ask any career diplomat at present and they will tell you that neither of the 2 above points are being adhered too. This is a big problem and has nothing to do with being leftist or rightist... it has to be a trusted agent.

to # 64 - what about the jordanians?

Even for the converted jews (Khazars) like: Bibi, sharon, livni etc...

Ben-Gurion warned not to start the 1967 war. The man knew how much a problem keeping his nation together would be and he formed the nation in a selected method. today Israel has people who believe that making a bigger Israel is the best course. I happen to think that Ben-gurion was a bigot and hate monger but he knew that expansion was the road to destruction. It is not anti-semitic to call a man like Ben-gruion a bigot because he considered others cockroaches nor Is it wrong to think that those who want empire Israel will lead to major problems and problem forever wars. So far Israel had not really bleed in wars since 1973 but that most likely will not be the case in the future. Can Israel stand a long term war that kills thousands?

An Israeli that tells the truth! That will get the hasbara trolls' panties in a knot

Eyal - personally I think all of Israel should be made Palestine and the European Jews who emigrated to the region and have absolutely no connection to this region - bar some rather bogus "Promise from God" 2,000+ years ago - should take up the Uganda option that was offered to them many years ago instead. The Palestinian and Arab Jews who abandoned and turned against their compatriots, neighbours, friends, colleagues etc back in the first half of the 1900s will be welcomed back with open arms - after all, they actually belong here, unlike the majority of Israelis. How does that sound to you Eyal? In comparison to ur suggestion, its actually quite rational.

The day our hero LIEBERMAN becomes the next PRIME MINISTER, I promise I will make big party with Arabic & Greek music a belly dancer,and of'Course BBQ. Lieberman got balls and he dont take any B$$$$$$T fropm anyone

Jordan is part of Israel,stolen by the British Mandate and given to your Kingdom.One day we will liberate Jordan.Yes personally I think Jordan should be returned to the Jews and to be part of Israel.The Jews are coming back from exile to their homeland. You Arabs do not want to know anything about Jewish history because it is not in your favour,but we dont give a damn. Read your QURAN, AND YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY that the land of israel belong to BNEI ISRAIL. BNEI ISRAIL WERE YAHUD ONE MILLION PERCENT,and surely not Islam.Jerusalem not mentioned even once in your Quran. Sorry to disappoint you Mohammed, but your land is in Arabia,and that is the reason you are called ARABS ARAB + IA = ARABIA ARABIA - IA = ARAB Simple math,unless you have d$$$$y brain

to FO from Belgium and those supporting his idea. How come you start remembering Int. Legal documents when doing so is for the benefit of Israel...but when it comes to respect other similarly important documents on the MidEast crisis, you take a different view, like a genuine coward? What a hypocrisy!!!???....and Stop claiming that Jewish people have so-called "irrevocable right"...You don't come to another person's house and say "I have irrevocable right" to settle at any part of your house, and kill your children, wife and other, if necessary!"...
