1. KOL HAKAVOD LIBERMAN !!!!
sammy ,   moshav zanoach , isr   (01.20.09)
Finally , a politician says it like it is.
2. Lieberman exaggerated here, but in the core he's right.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.20.09)
One should not be eligible for Israeli citizenship if he does not display loyalty to the country. It really is that simple. Still, Lieberman is dumb enough to be crass and this undermines his point. The best way to gain legitimacy is by acting in a diginified manner.
3. Arab Traitors.
John ,   uk   (01.20.09)
Well done Liberman! exactly to the point
4. Arabs are natives of Arabia, not Palestine!
israeli ,   israel   (01.20.09)
5. I have no love lost for the Arab MK's...
DkS ,   J'lem   (01.20.09)
...but I'd throw Lieberman out of the Knesset before the Arabs. Lieberman is as much of an inciter as the Arab MK's are, and he is as much of a security risk to the state of IL as the Arab MK's, by inciting the Arab public against the Jewish majority. We were all up in arms when Austria elected a fascist into its parliament, but seem to forget we have a far worse one among us here. His concepts of "loyalty" to the state are simply scary: the moment someone isn't loyal according to his definition, his citizenship should be revoked apparently. I support the state with all my heart and soul but I am against needless violence and fascist policies like the one Lieberman represents. If that makes me disloyal to IL, then so be it...
6. Lieberman may represent xenofobe Russian immigrants...
DkS ,   J'lem   (01.20.09)
...who are all in love with the concept of "a strong leader" since that's all they know. But he doesn't represent me and never will.
7. Adalah = Ford

8. G-D BLESS LIEBERMAN!
yb ,   HERZELIA   (01.20.09)
SPREAD THE WORD, LIEBERMAN FOR ROSH HA MEMSHALA!
9. Lieberman may represent xenophobe Russian immigrants...

10. Good, ban them.
Kev ,   London   (01.20.09)
About time.
11. if singing hatikva isn't suitable, then maybe g-d save the
r.f.   (01.20.09)
queen. the palestinian queen of jordan, or any other queen. otherwise sit with us in peace and stop provoking the state you live in.
12. To # 3
Maria ,   Arab   (01.20.09)
No you smart pants, arabs living with you are palestinians, and you israelis are immigrants who came mainly from Europe .
13. I love you Lieberman
Albert ,   Buenos Aires Arg   (01.20.09)
I am proud there is somebody like you, down with the dovessss
14. Keep them out of the knesset
Linda ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
and don't make this another South Africa!
15. Leiberman and Arab MK
DT ,   TA Isr   (01.20.09)
Leiberman will get my vote !
16. Lieberman is right.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.20.09)
The rest of our politicians should only be as clear as he is instead of hiding their heads in the sand & repeating politically correct BS.
17. #5-6 Dks
Airborne ,   Jerusalem   (01.20.09)
You are just feeling uneasy that Lieberman has the guts to say what we all think and know. Don't worry, once the Arab terrorist parties are gone you will feel better. If that doesn't work you can always live in Gaza if you'd prefer. Lieberman is not against Arabs, just those that want to kill us and throw us into the sea! OBTW - other countries in the west also prevent terrorists from becoming a part of the government as well. Why should Israel be any different?
18. Unfortunately, knowing Israeli Supreme Court left prejudices
Avi ,   Geneva   (01.20.09)
I fear they will support the Arab traitors, as Mazuz has already done (eternal shame on him). The problem is not the Arabs, but the Leftists. Until they are thrown out of government and of the judiciary and indeed of the knesset, Israel will continue to suffer.
19. PASSPORTS SHOW ALLEGIANCE TO THE STATE
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (01.20.09)
ISSUE PASSPORTS FOR THOSE WHO PREFER TO CALL THEMSELVES PALESTINIAN.THE CONSEQUENCES WILL RENDER CLARITY TO WHO PREFERED ISRAELI CITIZENSHIP TO THAT OF OF A PALESTINIAN STATE PALESTINIAN LOYALTY.CANNOT BE DUAL !
20. Tibi
Airborne ,   Jerusalem   (01.20.09)
Tibi's arguments don't make any sense. So what if Lieberman is a new immigrant? Tibi is not a legislature from the PA so what does he care about the blood of Palestinians? He says it right there. He considers himself Palestinian and not Israeli! Since when does speaking the truth become incitement?
21. We were here before you and we will be here after you!
Indigenous ,   statless   (01.20.09)
22. #7
john   (01.20.09)
you sound like a jewish version of the "jews control the world" brigade. give it a rest.
23. The Israeli Arab supporters of terrorism
Dan ,   USA   (01.20.09)
prefer the leftist Jews/Beilinists who bow to all their wishes. There should not be a place for them in the Israeli parliament.
24. Long Live Lieberman!
Thank you. ,   USA   (01.20.09)
25. Finally there is somebody in Israel who has the brains
Lieberman=hero ,   USA   (01.20.09)
26. For the first 30 years of my adult life
Sagi ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
I voted Labor. For the next 20 years I voted Likud. The Labor years were simply a mistake. The Likud years were good in context of the era but not good enough for today. Leiberman gets my vote for tomorrow.
27. #12
Talula ,   israel   (01.20.09)
Yeah, because no Jew ever lived here before 1948. Get yourself an education - THICKO! Maybe you won't feel so cheated if you learn that Jews have been living in Israel for THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of years. But it probably doesn't say that in your history books because they want you to be resentful and angry.
28. I support Lieberman!
JM ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
Get the Arabs who openly identify with the Palestinaina terrorist cause, who openly call for armed resistance against Israel, and who fail to recognize the Jewish charachter of our state OUT of our knesset, and OUT of our country!
29. US or UK won't let Al-Qaeda support sit in parliament
Nomaed ,   IL   (01.20.09)
I really don't see what's the conflict here? Yes, Liebermann is speaking very harshly, and it probably isn't very wise, but essentially he is saying true things. Same as the US or UK wouldn't let a party supporting Al-Qaeda sit in the parliament or even be eligible for elections, I don't see any reason for why would a party supporting Hamas be eligible in Israel, where the existential struggle IS real. For democracy to work, you don't need to support your government, but if you're a traitor to your country - you should be revoked of citizenship.
30. NOW THE REAL AGENDA IS KNOWN
LARRY ,   USA   (01.20.09)
what arabs living in Israel say in low voices and at home . they would chop jews up and feed them to the sea .GET THEM OUT OF ISRAEL ,FINISH HAMAS .HAZBULA, AND BOMB THE NUKE SITES IN IRAN BEFORE YOU HAVE A CIVIL WAR
