31. Better Pakistan/India than Iraq
Todd ,   USA   (01.08.14)
I once went to Nazareth where I saw Hamas flags waved proudly everywhere, and the only toys in the souvenir shops were toy grenades and guns... If Israeli Arabs want to be loyal Israelis just like English Hindus are loyal Brits, then they can't undermine the existence of the state they live in. If people can't get along they should separate, and the Arabs should join the PA. Can anyone imagine Iranian Jews or Tunisian Jews waving the flag of a movement that aims to wipe Iran or Tunisia off the map? (Thankfully no such movements exist.) Only the Arab Moslems have problems with others' right to self determination, not just the Jews, but also the Kurds, Christians, and Druze.
32. Lieberman is an excellent politician!
JGedalov   (01.08.14)
In Pravda Russian Poll among the top ten political leaders that performed great skills during 2013 and are well respected by the public and the world are Vladimir Putin and Avigdor Lieberman :-)
33. "Moldovan"???
Buckwheat ,   USA   (01.08.14)
Vicious, backbiting and disgusting article. Yes, Lieberman was born in Moldova. Just like Ben Gurion, Peres and Begin in Poland, Zeev Jabotinsky in Odessa, and Golda Meir in Kiev. The left-wing sc,,,m from Ramat Aviv just cannot tolerate the simple fact that a new immigrant is smarter, tougher and more successful and committed than hereditary Israeli aristocratic "princes" like Olmert or Herzog, whose fathers came from the same shtetls where Lieberman was born. Just wait when he is elected a Prime Minister! They only love Jews like Gideon Levy and Amira Haas. Sin'at Hinam was the cause of the destruction of Second Temple. Beware of the fate of the Third one. In our history, - three strikes, and you are out.
34. Next time you drive on Route 6 at night
Jake   (01.09.14)
Look out to the east and see the myriad of creepy green lights dotting the landscape all along the way. Those ain't fireflies. Those are mosques. New ones are being built every day. And they ain't being built to teach the Arab citizens the values of peace and brotherhood towards their fellow Israeli citizens in the Jewish sector.
35. Lieberman succeeded in calling the Arabs' bluff.
Jake   (01.09.14)
The Arabs of Wadi Ara call themselves "palestinians" and are accustomed flying palestinian and even Hamas flags. But when offered to have the border moved so that their towns would become part of a palestinian state, these same Arabs insist on remaining part of Israel, even if it means moving from their communities. Yigal Sarna can dish out his smug sarcasm and propaganda as much as he likes, but Lieberman succeeded in calling the Arabs' bluff.
36. No, let's give then Wad Ara AND Lieberman
Alfredo ,   Raanana   (01.09.14)
37. Lieberman's Right
A Yid ,   Tel Aviv   (01.09.14)
What's the problem with the Left? They tell us that Israel shouldn't be a bi-national state, so what's wrong with getting rid of Arabs? The Left can't have it both ways. If Jews make painful concessions, then Arabs can make them too.
38. 20
Yonatan ,   Adelaide/Israel   (01.09.14)
Let's see how serious you are-You pay me the fare-first class -to Israel and back to Adelaide and I shall persuade Lieberman to take up your offer.No worries.
39. Sounds good to me
Debbie ,   Israel   (01.09.14)
When Lieberman came back into politics I cried, knowing what he stands for and how bad he is for our beautiful Israel
40. No Yigal, Meir Kahane did NOT say "similar comments"
Tahl   (01.09.14)
Meir Kahane offered to uproot Israel's Arabs and transfer them to Jordan. Lieberman said nothing like this. All he suggested is that Israel's Arabs' SOVEREIGNTY will change from Israel (which they despise) to Palestine (with which they identify), while keeping their homes and lands. Can you please explain to me what is so wrong or "racist" about this offer? Also, referring to Lieberman as "Moldovan" is demeaning and nasty. As #33 said, by the same token you can call David Ben Gurion or Shimon Peres "Polish".
41. yigal, i've a better idea
arne ,   chicago usa   (01.09.14)
let's swap you and dennis rodman to north korea and keep avi Lieberman. he just might be your next p.m.
42. duh?
Michael Pielet ,   israel   (01.10.14)
Sarna, the Prime Minister of Chelm, and Wadi Ara arabs should be traded for Lieberman. Sarna has absolutely no problem removing Jews from their homes. However promoting Wadi Ara arabs to live in the arab terror state in Judea and Samaria, is problematic. Whatever happened to the concept of maintaining israel as a Jewish state?
43. Yigal Shama is blowing from his nether egions...
Raz Baron ,   Haifa Israel   (01.10.14)
This would have to be another article by some retarded Israeli jerk from the loony Left...They shoot these dumb articles into the air....Hoping that someone would actually take them seriously....
