.. Iran.. will have nuclear power and Nuclear `bombs if it wishes...israel can do nothing but watch.. and loose its position as Thee Power of the M/E.

No doubt about it, Russia's Putin said a while back while in Israel, that Israel was the superpower of the middle east --- for now. When asked about that, he would not comment. Any nuggethead would know what he meant at that time, and any half idiot knows what is going on now. Russia is making a Nuclear Iran, and the US nor Israel will not step in, for that will trigger a third world war. Why do you think the US is not going in to stop that nor wishing Israel to stop Iran?

It's interesting how sentences such as "current post-election political crisis' get slipped into articles. I don't see a "current post-election political crisis" and neither do most others. Mike

Remember he has the Lie first in lieberman. He does not care for a strong Israel,but a ministry job for himself. Next elections and his party will be less than half of it's mandates of today. However it is fitting that he wants to be the foreign minister. It is always the second dumbest person in a country to fill the position. The dumbest appoints him or her. Take hilary as and example or zippy the pinhead.

Israel's strategy has become more clear to everyone and is based on : *TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT PEACE,AND DO LESS

Once these so-called elected officials get in their desired position off power a brain eating virus sets in automatically. Not that I trusted Lieberman in the first place, he is a major crook like many off our fine politicians. All this tough talk is all that it is , just talk , Lieberman will not do the walk, he is just a plain old demagogue. So many people got fooled by this charlatan , because the likud is just the same old as kadima and other weak minded parties , who keep on negotiating with themselves for peace, while the Pallies laugh their heads about these idiots. Now that Lieberman has his gelt and perks maybe he better shut the hell up and just keep his seat warm , he already outlived his usefulness.

I know you very well; any piece of information is turned into a dreamed victory against the jews. It's like the "Gaza Victory" celebrated in Damascus by Meshaall. Iran's achievements in the nuclear path is by far a greater treath to you than to me, the jew. The simple reason, if you are capable to understant, is that they (Iranians) respect me; as in your case they, togheter with all muslim world, treat you as an idiot.... in accordance with your intelligence.

The right in Israel voted for Sharon even after he said a "Palestinian state is inevitable" and "we will have to make PAINFUL concessions." After Sharon did what he vowed he would do, led by Prof. Paul Eidelberg and others, the right screamed -- no, the right howled -- "We were betrayed!!" when Sharon expelled Gaza's Jews. Sharon did what he campainged he would do; this Likudnick. Now once yet again, the right in Israel voted for Israel Beiteinu traitors and Likud traitors even though both support "territorial compromise" to Israel's enemies. The right in Israel is the Jews' worst nightmare.

Who did you vote for? May I ask?

Lieberman is a racist pig and a settler terrorist. The fact a character like this can reach such a recognizable political position in Israel is a testimony to the Apartheid underpinning of the establishment in Israel.

CANT HE BE STREIGHT, KEEP HIS OPINION AS BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THIS MAN, A MAN WHO DO NOT STAND FOR HIS WORDS. Orao.

Once again, Israelis are talking about giving up something. It has been proved, time after time, after time, that giving the arabs something tangible leads to more violence. When will you learn? The only time they agree to peace is when israel is beating their heads into the dirt. A mighty Israel is the best bet for peace.

This is a true jewish patriot who knows who knows whats good for the jews. History will show that the russian people jewish and gentile crushed nazism and became the superpower with the usa. The soviet invasion of afghanistan was just and the neocon support for hurting the co-creators of israel was a betrayal of judaism and has led the usa to a severe state.

but he is still the best candidate for Foreign Minister. He will be better than Livni.

as bob dylan sang he's blowing in the wind, and by the way after the elections leiberman goes to MINSK of all place. Why Minsk?russian mafia pow wow maybe?

I agree with you.

Iran is a powerful and honorable country, with a great culture and history. In terms of shared history, the British sacrificed both Persian and Jewish interests in favor of the Arabs. Lieberman does not want to attack Iran because Iran is a natural ally of Israel and he knows a Persian/Israel war will be an Arab victory. Once Israel decides to concentrate on its real conflict, the Arab war of genocide against the Jews, Iranian nukes will be a problem for the Arabs, Russians and Americans. and #11, why a racist? Lieberman has always supported two states. He is called a "racist" because he says that Arabs who do not want to be Israeli citizens should be citizens of any new Arab country. Sounds fair to me.

Lieberman is smart? Or is he smarmy? You don't think Ahmadinejad is going to target and aim his first nuclear-tipped warhead on the center of Tel Aviv? He wants to burn your Jewish rear end. No? You think these Jew-hating Iranians -- who want to "wipe Israel off the face of the map" -- love you because of your so-called "shared history?" These are not Persians. These are Jew-hating Muslims -- sons of Ishmael -- who over-ran ancient Persia. You believe these killers share a common history with the hated Jew?

He is all over the map. Over the years he has stated many positions and then the opposite. In my opinion the man is mentally unstable to be a politician, let alone a government minister.

this man. A clear message must be sent that this guy is not only a war monger but also an apartied leader who wants to persecute the arabs inside the green line and strips them from their rights as the eternal inhabitants of this land. As with south africa under apartied, the world must boycott any governtment that includes him. if he doesnt like to have arabs living here then he can leave, he is an immigrant, we are not

...through superior firepower. Negotiating doesn't work because the Palestinians, like the Nazis, want us dead. Giving up land doesn't work because the Palestinians use the land to shoot rockets at us. The only way to get peace is to make the consequences of attacking us so great that the Arabs will stop. Moshe Dayan was right: "We cannot protect every water pipe from being blown up, nor every tree from being uprooted. Nor can we prevent the murder of the workers in the orchards, nor of families in their beds, but we can exact a high price for our blood, a price too high for the Arab community, the Arab army, the Arab Governments to pay." I supported Lieberman initially. I was disillusioned with the direction of Likud, so when I Yisrael Beitenu came along, I thought "finally a true right wing party." However, so help me G-d, if Lieberman goes soft on Iran, I will be sure to never vote for his party again.

Lieberman should imagine Iran's Mushroom Cloud over Israel. This will be the consequence if the fanatics get their hands on nukes. They have stated their evil intention to the world. And they are feverishly working on their nukes. The choices are difficult. However, between a Mushroom Cloud and denuking, the latter would be a better alternative.

An exchange of population, done in a civil and democratic manner, would require a plebiscite conducted in the Arab area to be annexed by Palestine. If the plebiscite passes, individuals must have the option to be resettled in Israel proper or to remain in the territory to be annexed by Palestine and forfeit their rights as Israelis. to revoke Israeli citizenship would be highly problematic not only by international standards but by the standards of Israeli law. Of course, under this scenario the plebiscite could pass and large numbers of individuals might still ask for resettlement in the Jewish state.

It is time for you to leave before you are removed. You are part of the 5th column and you won't have a future in our country. You and your family will leave or be removed.

To Deceive is the key for the victory in a war. I also feel shame by my government ( Spain - Zapatero)

bibi, zippy, jamus, the arab.the pensioners,hara-di or pot paries. Take a guess. How about you? Who did you vote for,if you live here?
