Just as Ben Gurion never was investigated for the political failure, so Peres never was investigated for Oslo, the political leadership never was investigated for setting up Rabin's death and Olmert never was investigated for the decision to brutalize Amona. It's high time that the political leadership is held accountable for their actions.

Why not move to North Korea, Tamar? The ideal of communism has been fulfilled there. Why try to bring Israel to the ecomonic situation of North Korea?

This must be the new party line - I keep seeing the same lines repeated by different spokesmen. Just more leftist hysteria, exagerated language, & propaganda. They're so shrill because they are so marginalized & their political parties are falling apart. If the elections were today, they would all be out of a job.

Communist Cukoos are boring!

Jeez, these nutbags are even more marginalized than the Neturei Karta.

Righteous Leaders = Righteous Government. Cry out Israel!

No disrespect to the author or to hadash, but isnt this the political party who's members frequently visit states that want to eradicate us and incite them to continue "resistance" against Israel?? We should strive to be better than the other, but to say Lieberman's addition is "akin to spitting in the face of the Arab population" naively ignores the reality that on more than one occasion, Arab citizens of Israel have spat in the face of this country and their fellow citizens, and they would be defended by this author...

Israel's democracy is weak because of an over-strong judiciary, the ridiculous proportional representation system and the creative attitudes towards freedom demonstrated by successive Israeli governments. This woman and her supporters aren't out calling 'ethnic cleansing!' when Jews are expelled from their homes.

Israel is confronting with increasing arab hostility...Why not give Mr.Liebermann a chance to show that Israel is not so weak some of our ennemies are thinking is?

Maybe it's time to be again Israel and not anymore cowardly leftists

Tamar Gozansky, who did nothing helpful in her public life, comes out and criticizes others. As far as I remember Lieberman - he talks a lot, does nothing. Leftists do that too. I don't see Gozansky criticizing MERETZ MK Zehava Gal'on for calling Ariel Sharon's government "fascist" three years ago. While talking about Lieberman's "propaganda campaign", Gozansky has one of her own. Gozansky prefers talking about Lieberman's "fascist tradition" and his promotion (where did she take that from??) of ethnic cleansing - while not even once (!) mentioning her own hatred towards many religious parts of Israeli population, most of them - Israel settlers. Gozansky was right to be part of HADASH party - no sane people would let her join their party, as she'd prefer different ethnic cleansing - of settlers from the West Bank, with as much force as possible. Lieberman rejects Arabs' civil rights? As far as I remember, Lieberman rejects civil rights of - read carefully now - Israeli Arabs who see themselves as Palestinians. Okay, again, this time - especially for Tama Gozansky: Lieberman rejects civil rights of Israeli Arabs who see themselves as Palestinians. Same Arabs who blocked entire Israeli north in 2000 in violent demonstrations. Same Arabs who helped suicide bombers to enter Israel (on several occassions) and murder dozens of Israelis. Yes, Mrs. Gozansky - such people should not have civil rights in any country. It's a sane approach. Gozansky says that Lieberman wants to use campaign against "axis of evil" to cover up removal of thousands of Arab citizens from Israel. For Christ's sake, where did you get *that* from? Too bad Lieberman won't be sueing Gozansky for incitement of hatred against him - as this would be the easiest case to win. Or maybe she can see into the future? Didn't think so. I could go on and on about other absurds in her article (Lieberman, as minister for strategic affairs preparing a new war, for example), but it would last forever. Gozansky should really stop hating people. Dear Mrs, it won't lead you anywhere. What you're doing is: 1) promoting direct hatred against Lieberman himself, his party and his voters based on... Well, nothing. 2) Promoting hatred among Arab population reading your nonsense towards "Russian" population in Israel. Please, please stop that.

Get real lady. With all due respect, you're living in a dreamworld, that will never, ever, ever, ever exist. And definately not because of either the ultra right wing or ultra left wing of Israel, but because your dreamfriends are actually your sworn enemies. Get real!! You want to live with those who hate your existence in the same house, than do so in your own house. I don't want the haters of my family to be in the same house with me.

Tamar, PLEASE!!!!!!! Stop your liberal waddle and whine, the whole world is sick of it. You speak about the Lebanon war negatively when , there were over 4500 rockets dropped on northern Israel, and you want to appease and dance with these people who call for total destruction of Israel?? PLEASE, Israel is in a war and 'if' ' there would have been a release of Israels 'strong' Generals, then Hesbullah, would have regretted it's starting of the last war. Instead, there was weakness shown by Israel and now her enemies are strengthened. Yes, admittedly, there have been total wrong decisions on both sides, every nation has it's Me ly incidents. Your answer of appeasement is total idiocy during these times. There is nothing wrong with strength. Strength does not imply a dictatorship. It simply denote a character quality. I pray that you will find strength, especially during these times. It would behoove you and the people of Israel to hear and see some strength of character in it's leaders. Especially when it is needed most..

I'm so embarassed to be Ashkenaz, look how many traitors the Jewish people have? Where did they come from?

Communism has proved over its short history to be most dangerous ideology after Islam. Communists have killed more people over the World then any other parties did: · Russia: - over 50 mils were killed during 1917-1990 · China – hundreds of millions have died or been killed according to independent sources: www.wikipedia.com · Communists as a part of there doctrine of “tikun olam” have concept of “dictatorial socialism”.

Now I know why israel is in the situation it's in. Israel is controlled by appeasing wimps like this idiot Tamar. Arabs deserve respect when they support Israel and condemn terrorism. The war showed that the majority of Arabs supported the destruction of Israel by supporting Hezzbollah. Tamar and her ilk are delusional dhimmis. She would have defended the Nazis in Germany.

Lieberman is not punishment for the government's sins. He is End of Israel. Isreal is now history. Better start packing the bags and head to Europe. Leiberman is going to sink Israel. If you cant see it, you are fools. Israeli people never seem to see thing on time. They always get slapped and then see the reality. Why cant they see what is happenning right before them. Israel is getting worse and worse place to live and invest. Soon it will not be worth living in. Stupid trade and security policies have brought havoc upon Israel. Israel is is about to die and Israelis dont even know it. Shame.

MINISTER

Why doesn't the press call to task all the demagogues who claim the Lieberman wnts to "transfer" the Arabresidents. He clearly tates tht he wants to redraw borders so that Arab majority areas (some) will fall into a Arab stte and tht jewsih ares (settlemnts) woll fall into the Jewish state. Its rational ... not racist.

Go to North Korea. I hear that Kim Jong Il is ronery.

As usual you are all mistaken . Bringing Lieberman to the Cabinet means for the Arabs that we just started the worst nightmare for them. All the Palestinians Terror organizations criminal activities worth zero comparing to what Lieberman is preparing for them. He is our Bin Laden, Nasrallah, Mishal and Arafat combine . May God have RAHAMIM of the Palestinians and inspire them to stop their useless fight and follow the path of peace AMEN. At the same time may God have RAHAMIM of the 1,6 millions poor straggling with their life in Israel. AMEN

They do it all over the Middle East and beyond.

While I never agreed with her politics, Tamar Gozansky was a well respected MK who championed the causes of her very left wing ideology. Gozansky used to do a good job at keeping her rhetoric to a minimum and sticking to the issues, but it looks like retirement is bringing out the reactionary in her. She claims that Lieberman "promote ethnic cleansing." Unfortunately, she promulgates the leftist apologist agenda that ignores the real purveyors of ethnic cleansing: the Palestinians. The Palestinian government has repeated said it not only does not want peace, but wants to ethnically cleanse Israel of all the Jews. It is sad how nobody on the left has anything to say about those facts.
