1. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Eric R.   (12.20.12)
Lieberman was a brilliant, and indeed revolutionary FM. He finally taught Israel to realize that not only is the EU a hopeless bunch of insatiable Jew-haters, it is also a continent in rapid decline and that Israel must focus elsewhere. His openings to Russia, India and China were key moves for Israel's future.
2. All of them are "Bouncers" in the incide!!!!!!
Anton ,   Jerusalem   (12.20.12)
All Israeils are bouncers on the inside with wishes to eliminate by all means any non-jew existing in israel or in the west bank. Liberman couldnt hide it and showed his real face, Sharon as well and benjamin as well. The mix of bibi and liberman best serve the palestinian cause because it shows the real feace of israeli politics (Hate, Racism, Grudge, willingness to steal the entire thing and not only the 53% granted by United Nations, idea of transfer of all palestinians to camps etc)
3. One of the worst pieces published here
Alex   (12.20.12)
Maybe not the worst, but one of them. If people are still doubting the democracy of Israel, the publishing of articles written by enemies is pretty much a proof of it. What some people doesn't seem to understand, Israel is not interested in pleasing the world anymore. Our 2000 year lesson proves that we should only look out for our own interests as the world will condemn us regardless as long as we're alive. If Lieberman is successful in pushing forward a full oath of loyalty, he got my support.
4. # 3 Alex
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.20.12)
If you don't want to get high blood pressure from reading pieces like this on YNET, maybe you should stick to the Pravda of the national-fascist Yisrael Hayom
5. We shoud encourage Liberman to leave the country
Dovid ,   Haifa   (12.20.12)
6. Crass but not Crazy
Zecharia   (12.20.12)
LIEBERMAN IS CRUDE AND ROUGH A BUFFOON ALLEGEDLY CORRUPT BUT HE HAS REALISM. HE IS IN FAVOR OF THE TWO STATES ONE JEWISH ONE PALESTINIAN AND EXPANDING JEWISH DEMOGRAPHIC POWER THROUGH REFORM AND CONSERVATIVE CONVERSIONS.
7. "Lieberman good for Arabs";; And why not - Yisrael Beiteinu.
leo ,   usa   (12.20.12)
8. 100% AGREE
Salma ,   Ramallah   (12.20.12)
plz Zionists vote for Liberman
9. Israel is in deep trouble with Lieberman, very deep trouble
Michael ,   California, USA   (12.20.12)
But people will give him the boot in January, that's the hope. Abba Eban, we miss you so much.
10. Totally I agree
Moh Yemen   (12.20.12)
I totally Agree with that ? He has served the best ever ? Specialy whe compare Europe stance on gaza to the hollocost ? He serve the best isolation to the state of Israel ? Because he still thinks he is allah"s chosen guy ?
11. #8 selma, how is life in the capital of "palestine"?
(12.20.12)
your man lieberman will be defense minister in the next gov't
12. Too true. When
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.20.12)
are we going to wake up to this demagogue!
13. "Palestinians" specialize in deluding themselves.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.20.12)
"Palestinians" specialize in deluding themselves. This ridiculous article is yet another example. Lieberman is not the true vehemently right wing patriotic leader Israel needs. However, his honesty on many issues is much appreciated. Let "Palestinians" continue to delude themselves. Soon we will have more than a million Jews in Judea and Samaria. Within 20 years, we will have well over 2 million. Palestine is forever fictional.
14. Lieberman is the face of israel.
American Taxpayer   (12.20.12)
15. #14 face of Israel
robyn ,   monreal   (12.20.12)
Reality and honesty. No politically correct nonsense and no policies that can endanger Israel. The world is not used to Jews standing up for themselves. Lieberman is just sensitizing them to it.
16. EVERY ISRAELI JEW LIKE ME KNOW IT'S TRUE.
Nowhere Man ,   Metropolis, Zion.   (12.20.12)
17. Is being diplomatic meaning you have to lie?
donsaliman ,   nahal oz Israel   (12.20.12)
I learned something from Lieberman being FM and that is you are not being diplomatic if you are telling the truth/ It may sound stupid but think just about it.
18. Israeli-Arabs do not fear Liberman in fact many vote for him
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (12.20.12)
Not sure where Akram gets his info from. We dispise the man as many jews do, however we do not fear him. We also refer to ourselves as Iraeli-Arabs not "Palestinian citizens of Israel"
19. Leave your Lieberman alone
Ypip ,   Canada   (12.21.12)
You'll go blind.
20. People WANT Lieberman!
Ralph Haglund ,   Sweden   (12.22.12)
That is why he is leader of the second party - and Bennett comes now with the third strong rightist party. Wonder what the EU will call him, when they call Lieberman ultranationalist :) Lieberman is as tough as the first Israeli leaders, Netanyahu has unfortunately not learned. Lieberman is soon back, that is why Netanyahu took over the title temporarily. It is just to kick the leftists in the behind, trying to delay the election as long as they can, but his voters do not care. He got an envelope with a number he did not want, Olmert the leftist got fat envelopes full of dollars, the leftist judges did not care. Why is the writer going on calling the Israeli arabs "palestinians"? He feels ashamed of being arab? "The palestinian people" were invented by KGB in the sixties to help Arafat learn about propaganda. There is absolutely no difference between them and a Syrian farmer, and their economy had been the same without Israel.
21. Arabs have MANY countries, Israel ONE! Balance=Arab TRANSFER
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.22.12)
22. I have not the faintest idea
Ralph Haglund ,   Sweden   (05.16.13)
what a "palestinian citizen of Israel" is. I suppose the writer uses the Mandate term of "palestinian" as everyone who lives in the mandate of Palestine? Explain. I sure wait for Lieberman to get out of the claws of the leftists, they keep him even if they have nothing left to accuse him of - just desperately trying to find something else! Bibi should tell them sharply, but he knows that Lieberman will separate from Likud as soon as he is free to act and go his own way, much more decent than Netanyahu's way of freezing everything he touches.
