1. this is lieberman's way of telling olmert to drop dead
marcel   (01.05.14)
lieberman has told abbas and hamas and ehud olmert who offered to repatriate arabs to israel to drop dead. Not one refugee can come to israel is what he said. Even Livni who is dumb said the same thing. It is clear that the best solution to the problem is for the arabs sitting on israeli land to go back to their countries of origin either willingly or via war which is coming.
2. so much for the myth
sharpshin ,   USA   (01.05.14)
So much for the myth that Arab Israelis are "full citizens" enjoying the esteem and protection of their government. No one is asking the 300,000 people involved whether they agree with this plan. Can't call it a "democracy" if it's not a democracy for all.
3. I agree with Lieberman about .................
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (01.05.14)
" Arab Palestine's right of return". That will be very dangerous to Israel, not only as a Jewish State, but also as a State itself. As a matter of fact, they have never accepted the existence of their neighbour. They may live, perfectly, in the "new State", whose creation depends on different attitudes from their bad leaders.
4. In that case not one Jew
(01.05.14)
can live in Palestine
5. Liebermann versus Abbas
Alana   (01.05.14)
"Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said he would oppose any peace deal if it includes the right of return "for even one" Palestinians. " Interesting statement- I thought Abbas said that of the Jews in Palestine.
6. Secracy to suit politicians They think: We are the judges of
Martin SA   (01.05.14)
Secracy to suit politicians They think: We are the judges of whats OK. Why does kerry avoid contact with other? He is avoiding suprises?
7. Details of the Mandate
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (01.05.14)
Sir Martin Gilbert, in Churchill and the Jews, gives Churchill's own view of the onfolding of the League Mandate for Palestine which he was largely in charge of. He gave 77% of Mandatory Palestine to create the Arab Kingdom of Jordan, fulfilling Britain's obligation to the Arabs, leaving 23% of Palestine on the West Bank as the Jewish homeland. There was constant and very strong pressure on Britain to stop Jewish immigration to Palestine, eventually leading to the White Paper [known as the 'Black Paper'] cutting back on the number of Jews allowed into Palestine each year -- BUT the League Mandatory Authority in Geneva declared the White paper a violation of the Mandate. In September 1939 WW II began and Britain needed Arab oil for the war effort. This had to take priority, and the Brits stopped the Germans in North Africa from reaching Palestine.
8. THERE IS NO ROR
Italian for Israel ,   Italy   (01.05.14)
The invented people can forget about it. If they have their state, it is this one which would provide their repatriation. Ah, by the way, descendents of 800000 jres from arab countries deserve reparations too.
9. Liberman Playing Tough Guy
Zechariah   (01.05.14)
Family reunions ought be allowed there will be far less Israeli Arabs. They will become Palestinian maybe some a moderating Force with Positions of Economic Power.
10. arabs should be with arabs and no one else
hy   (01.05.14)
i am sure tibi and his brothers hate israel and the jews. They would be happier with abbas and erekat and rabbo to fund them as citizens while they run to arab states and the US for money with which to pay tibi. tibi might wish to understand that israeli jews no longer want tibi and h is kind as citizens. So we are sure you are happier with abbas.
11. #1 how is your proposal any more
on point   (01.05.14)
rational than that of our enemies who say: "It is clear that the best solution to the problem is for the [Jews} sitting on [Palestinian] land to go back to their countries of origin either willingly or via war which is coming. " Lieberman is a cork in the rectum of progress.
12. NATO must displace Foreign Arabs to Mecca to protect Jews

13. #4,no name, no country moron. It is already a fact in all
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.05.14)
Apartheid Arab Empire/colonized/occupied/stolen from Infidel lands
14. Arabs have always been a cork in the rectum of human progres
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.05.14)
15. to number 2
shimon ,   Poleg   (01.05.14)
It is a democracy and these citizend can vote to be Israelis with equal rights which means same income tax, council tax and national service either military or in their own community centres and projects or they can go live in Palestine. The beauty of Wadi Ara is they can go live in Palestine without having to 'go' anywhere the border will just move and they stay in their houses however it is clear that these citizens will choose to remain Israelis in Israel. Likewise the Arab neighbourhoods in Jerusalem - let them vote and choose either Israel or Palestine. You'll be surprised that in spite of their anti-semitic rhetoric and flag waving the Jerusalem Arabs will also choose to remain in Israel if given the chance
16. Ethnic cleansing by treaty, good idea! Lieberman is back!
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.05.14)
12 13 14 not mine.
17. Say "NO" to a 4-state posed as a 2-state.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (01.05.14)
The first 2-state that created Jordan remains a great crime: it caused the Holocaust. Then they created a fictitious Pretend Pal 3-state, then a Hamas 4-state in Gaza. US is serving her own interest with Israeli blood.
18. Checkmate
Ron ,   oc us   (01.05.14)
Lieberman has intellegence and guts. Israel needs the permission of nobody to transfer the Arab population to the new PLO state. Tibi and Abbas can bitch all the way to the Hague, the UN and the Arab league and the PA will still have to take in their own. And if Israel gets rid of Arab squatters and illegal Africans the Jew state just may avoid destruction.
19. Ethnic cleansing by Jihad, good idea! Caliphate is back!
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.05.14)
20. All ethnically cleansed Apartheid Muslim entities get a pass
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.05.14)
from me.
21. # 4
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.05.14)
Says who?
22. "16. "Ethnic cleansing by treaty, good idea!"
A ,   Belgium   (01.05.14)
Indeed it is, Benazzi. Otherwise, how would a piece of crap as yourself be allowed to live on land that was "ethnically cleansed" of its rightful, original owners?
23. After ethnically cleansing Chippewa in MN I settled here
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.05.14)
24. #2. Did anyone ask you if you agree to Obamacare?
A ,   Belgium   (01.05.14)
But hey, Obama says "if you like your plan, you can keep it!" Now doesn't that make you feel like you are "enjoying the esteem and protection" of YOUR government? Does that make you privileged enough to criticise the policies of a country that is fighting for its survival? Guess you're just another one of those cows in the field nodding their heads up and down, waiting for fodder and considering themselves "full citizens".
25. #4 #4.Your terrorist "president" already said that,
A ,   Belgium   (01.05.14)
try and come up with something more original.
26. A # 24 perhaps sharpshin # 2 is...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.05.14)
a welfare leech and thus identifies with ersatz Pals who are welfare leeches also. Sheeple and leeches always cast their votes for Obama.
27. #2 Sharoshin
Madeleine ,   Israel   (01.06.14)
No-one is talking about Arab Israelis. These have full Israeli citizenship and full rights as Israeli citizens. Palestinians have no rights to Israeli citizenship, in fact manyof them have Jordanian citizenship.
28. #4
Madeleine ,   Israel   (01.06.14)
Correct. Abbas haas already stated that in his Apartheid policy. Anyway, what Jew would want to live under the Palestinian Authority?
29. #5
Madeleine ,   Israel   (01.06.14)
What Abbas said was that no Jew would be allowed to live in Palestine. Doubt there ever will be a Palestine, but anyhow, his remarks are those of a true racist. As for Arabs in Israel, we have over a million Arabs with full Israeli citizenship - those, and the descendants of those, who chose to stay in the fledgling state in 1948 and not run away hoping to return when - as their leaders thenpromised - after the Jews were driven into the sea.
30. #2, if Israel is so bad, why won't the Arabs agree to leave?
Jake ,   USA   (01.06.14)
