Janice Cohen ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.28.09)
2. Lieberman is right
Amir   (12.28.09)
Labor is a bunch of pathetic loser has-beens. In Lieberman we finally have a foreign minister who stands up for the country instead of letting the whole world walk all over us.
3. Lieberman understood Netenyaho will kick him off and
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (12.28.09)
from Government and instead include Kadima in Coalition As Lieberman understood he will be kicked off from Government, he started to act like LIONS ROARING to give an impression of very RADICAL DEFENDER of ISRAEL In fact Sarkozy, Israeli preference for Syrian-Israeli negotiations make some remaraks long ago telling GET RID OF THIS MAN for Lieberman. Therefore Lieberman became an international headache. Farewell to Lieberman By the way: I personally want Lieberman to became Israeli Prime Minister Guess why given my orientation?
4. kol hakavod lieberman! the leftists are blind
uli ,   kiryat ono   (12.28.09)

6. FM
colin   (12.28.09)
So the leftest Ynet newspaper does not want to accepy the truth which is against YNET princepals. YNET is now trying every dirty filthy trick to attack Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. Lieberman maybe the only straight atlking truthful politician is the curse of the crookrd twisted false Israeli media. YNET get back to the value of Israel As an arab publication move to Rammalah.
7. Too extreme. Maybe Barak is on his way out
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (12.28.09)
8. Dispicable politicians
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.28.09)
Amazing contrast between those morally deficit MK's and the depth and honesty of Lieberman. Just astonishing how honesty inspires such 'kiss arse' nonsense from the corrupted crowd of intellectually deficient politicians. One look at the PM of Turkey would tell anyone who isn't brain dead that he is a Jew-hater to the core. Turkey has totally rejected any moral reason for Israel to defend itself, and these morons call Turkey important. Important for what?
9. Barak and Bibi
Joe Klien ,   USA   (12.28.09)
Ehud Barak is nothing more than a US puppet in the government who works for US interest not Israel's that is my opinion.
10. Yes, Turkey is important but to iran, iraq, saudi arabia,
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.28.09)
syria and other muslum countries that hate Israel.
11. Viva Lieberman-he doesnt lie down for the left

James ,   Israel   (12.28.09)
Are what Israel loves to hear and to think that some obscure leftists which are beset in putting Lieberman down have to be eliminated from the midts of the rest of the Knesset and may their voices be DROWNED FOREVER.We need a man like Lieberman who tells the unpalatable truth to the ones who want to traduce and bring him down?Well chums he is going to stay there ,like it or not. Kudos to Mr.Lieberman..Please stay the course and never flinch.

14. turkey
mohson   (12.28.09)
Turkey is an important country but kissing its rear end and not seeing erodogan for what he is indicated blindeer. labor except for a few mks is meretz with oslo dreams. labor was all for a gutless coward olmert. So it is nothing for them to suck up to tyrants. Lieberman is correct, perhaps a bit overblown, but he is correct. Barak should retire, vilnai should move over to likud and labour should be thrown out of the government.Yaalon is far better than barak who bombed politically as PM. No one perhaps olmert was more gutless in response to terror than barak. Only ashkenazi saved his reputation in cast lead as before that, rockets rained on israel and this moron did nothing.
15. Keep him on!
Morris ,   USA   (12.28.09)
Lieberman tells it like it is. Israel doesn't need another wishy-washy FM like Livni - who gives in and gives up everything. Today, a stronger person is required and Lieberman is the go to guy. Besides, what he says is absolutely correct.
16. hey idiots
(12.28.09)
lieberman is a foreign minister. despite whether or not what he says is correct, the key is that as foreign minister the thing is HOW you say something. Turkey, despite erdogan, is a modern, secular country with a history of moderate islam and should be encouraged to return to their roots rather than irritated and pushed further away. lieberman is a big fat mouth and completely not fit for the job he is in.
17. Kind of Rich, coming from Labor...
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (12.28.09)
"On the Way Out".. Labor and their policies are so oblivious to the present realities..
18. How does smaller divided leftists labor party threaten popul
Jae ,   Lynn US   (12.28.09)
popular growing Israel beiteinu? I am proud of Avigdor for having reactions most countries would expect their leaders to have to its enemies.
19. Labor criticizes Lieberman for speaking
Allan ,   Ft. Lauderdale   (12.28.09)
the truth? Oy, what have we come to?
20. Lieberman says what Israel loves to hear...
eitan   (12.28.09)
but is that the job of a Foreign minister? I believe his job is to make our international relationships stronger, not push other countries away if they "offend us". A foreign minister should be making efforts to normalize diplomatic relationships because doing the opposite is hardly beneficial for the country. Yeah, sure, we feel deliciously vendicated, he really punished those Turks, now they will think twice before criticising us, and so would other nations...or would they? What is exactly that Israel benefited from Lieberman's speech? I am sorry, but the guy has to act professionally, he is doing an important job for our country. If I hire a plumber I don't care if he shares my distaste for what goes down the drain, I just want him to effeciently unblock the pipes so I don't find my place flooded one day.
21. Lieberman on way out
DT ,   TA Israel   (12.28.09)
If he is it is only because he says it how it is - a rare thing in any present day politician
22. Labor is on its way out! Lieberman has more votes then Labor
eradicate the ,   leftists   (12.28.09)
Time for the leftists to crawl back under the rock!
23. Lieberman is right again
Edel   (12.28.09)
Why suck up to Turkey? If Syria wants peace, there is no reason to hide behind false mediators who have already taken a position. Let's have direct talks.
24. Actually, it's Labor that is - or should be - on the way out
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (12.28.09)
It takes more intelligence and moral integrity to shake loose from the delusions of the left than is generally found among Labor. Despite the failures of the last decades they simply refuse to learn. Even repudiation from the electorate doesn't shake their certitude. Leiberman is absolutely correct, and Labor - to use that famous movie line - "can't handle the truth!" And if Gabby Levy - Israel's ambassador to Turkey - can't go along with his boss' position, he should resign. Consider this the "dying gasps" of Labor. If Kadima splits and a few former Labor MKs return home, it'll survive a little longer. But its days are numbered.
25. We love Lieberman and Turkey is anti-Israel
Dave ,   USA   (12.28.09)
26. this guy should be the PM
chaim schonbrun ,   brooklyn ny   (12.28.09)
instead of this clueless self hating pathetic coward named Bibi, who is nothing but a little lapdog poodle licking the boots of his master ,hussein obama
27. Lieberman
hershel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.28.09)
He's the ONLY one speaking the truth...that's why you don't like him...oh well!
28. Labor out Lieberman in.
Wise Saba ,   Netivot   (12.28.09)
Lieberman is 100% right in what he said, Labor is the one that is dead wrong. It is because of Labors failed policies that we are in this horrible situation today.
29. lieberman is right. left is wrong and supid on these issues.
ralph   (12.28.09)
30. eitan @20 About plumbing and pipes.
James ,   Israel   (12.28.09)
You say: If I hire a plumber I don't care if he shares my distaste for what goes down the drain, I just want him to effeciently unblock the pipes so I don't find my place flooded one day. Well eitan,that's exactly what Leiberman is trying to do,and I'll give give him a 100 % rating FOR TRYING TO DO JUST WHAT YOU ARE ASKING.
