1. Relevancy
The Last Zionist ,   Eilat   (09.18.10)
Mr Lieberman is not relevant. No one take him seriously..
2. MESSAGE TO HAGUE
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.18.10)
Tell the slap-head to get knotted .The only thing which needs freezing is Hillarys' brain .
3. We have given enough!!!
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (09.19.10)
The Palestinians now must make MAJOR concessions or pack their bags and head for their ancestral homeland of Jordan or their seaside resort of Gaza.
4. Take note: Palestinians are NOT freezing terrorism
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (09.19.10)
Israel put the freeze into effect 10 months ago - the Palestinians refused to negotiate. Now that the Americans twisted their arms to get them to the table, they're looking for an excuse to weasel out. Well, everybody likes "proportional response", right? It's what the NGOs and EU and critics everywhere keep saying. So: proportional response means that Israel can leave the peacetalks because the Palestinians are refusing to obey international law and have launched multiple terrorist attacks (that have left 4 civilians dead). Israel is justified to walk out of the peacetalks and it is 100% the fault of the Palestinians. Or, our response to Palestinian bullets and anti-personnel rockets and mortars is to build a few buildings. That seems pretty fair... in fact it's more unfair to Israel than to the Pals. Unless, of course, the Pals want to declare that they are freezing all violence against Israeli civilians.
5. #1 sorry you are wrong
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (09.19.10)
Lieberman is the only MK who speaks the truth and he does not cower before the Americans like Bib Nothingyahu. We hope one day Lieberman will be PM. The irrelevant one is the one who calls himself The Last Zionist.
6. Now you can talk freely as you wish, Lie,
Al Mujahid   (09.19.10)
but when you become the PM, I wonder if you can do that.
7. 8.5 million facts on the ground, Voters
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.19.10)
...in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, and refugees from 1948.
8. #1
R ,   Israel   (09.19.10)
A year ago I would have agreed with you. Now I think what Liberman said is 100% right and he tells it like it is. Concessions must come from both sides. Israel is always making concessions. What have we gotten for that? Just more terror.
9. #1 Lieberman is so irrelevant...
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland, Aotearoa   (09.19.10)
...that most Israelis seem to believe that this brutally honest man will make a great PM. Most of those people do not just call themselves Zionists, they actually act like one.
10. Lieberman is way too leftist
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.19.10)
We need a true nationalist leader like Feiglin.
11. Building on lands occupied
Mohammed Mohammed ,   Falls church, VA USA   (09.19.10)
and the negociations is about mean you are insulting the core of negocistion you are supposed to give up 317% of the land
12. the FM said it all and exactly right
RayS ,   USA   (09.19.10)
That's the correct way to start the year.
13. he should be fired
Haim ,   Holon   (09.19.10)
Lieberman is a loose cannon and should be fired from his position as FM. The man is a 1st class idiot and an embarrassment to the State of Israel.
14. # 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (09.19.10)
Lieberman will have my vote when the time comes. The man has the courage to say it like it is, without bowing to anyone.
15. Lieberman. Glad I voted for him (end)
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.19.10)
16. Lieberman for PM
Ste ,   UK   (09.19.10)
I support Lieberman, he speaks a lot of truths. I only wish he was PM.
17. #4 against "Israeli" civilians..AGREE
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.19.10)
As against the "Israeli" occupation ...DISAGREE. By the way where was your Foreign Minister during the last period?! Seems he is in political coma ! To remain so, this is best for humanity :)
18. Lieberman
Malone ,   Hfx   (09.19.10)
If I was an Israeli citizen,I would be voting for Lieberman. He is no diplomat,but he tells it like it is and is usually right on!
19. #1 how do you define relevant?
Ilan ,   Ariel   (09.19.10)
If Lieberman is opposed to extending a freeze then he and his party will vote against the proposal when it comes to the cabinet and the measure will not pass. That sounds fairly relevant by any rational measure.
20. I joined Yisrael Beiteinu before the last
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (09.19.10)
election and worked on behalf of the party. I have never egretted it. I hope those Israelis who admire Avigdor Lieberman and the political party he leads will do more than vote Yisrael Beiteinu in the next election but actually sign up and work for the party. Each worker adds a potential dozen voters at least.
21. Liebermam immigrated to Israel in 1978
observer   (09.19.10)
He didn't live the 73 war in Israel. He wants to redraw Israel's borders through diplomacy because during the 73 war: Golda Meir said: "The Egyptians crossed the Canal and hit our forces in Sinai hard. The Syrians pushed deep into the Golan Heights. We incurred grave losses on both fronts. The agonising question at that time was should we or should we not inform the nation of the truth of our appalling situation? I write of the Yom Kippur War not as a military report, but as an intimate disaster or a horrible nightmare that I myself have suffered and which will continue to haunt me for the rest of my life." -- My Life Moshe Dayan said: "The war has shown that we were no stronger than the Egyptians. The halo of supremacy and the political and military premise that Israel is stronger than the Arabs, that they would be defeated should they dare to start a war, did not hold true. My theory was that it would take them the whole night to erect bridges, which we would manage to disable using our armored vehicles. But it turned out that it was not easy to disable them. Sending tanks to the battle front was very costly. We never expected that."
22. If freeze is hard then peace deal with set borders possible?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (09.19.10)
The PA have little left to give except final resolution issues. Settler want peace and to keep the land, with Palestinians push back to A areas and Gaza or even better Jordan. The PA is not the force behind peace talks, it the US lead Quartet and there lies the settlers main problem to reaching their goal.
23. #16 Maybe he will be, one day.
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (09.19.10)
24. Re: #11 & To all the Mohammed's of the world!
Tom W. ,   Windsor, Canada   (09.19.10)
Let me tell you exactly how Abraham, father of Isaac and grandfather of Jacob saw this situation, read Genesis 25:1-6. So Abraham gave all he owned to Isaac, which included the inheritance of the land of Canaan. Meanwhile Abraham just gave gifts to his sons that were conceived by his concubines (Hagar & Keturah). Finally, while Abraham was alive he sent all his sons born from the concubines to live east of his country! So there you have it, from the horses' mouth, so modern-day Arabs whose birth roots come from either Ishmael or from the sons of Keturah, are not allowed to inherit nor live in the land of Canaan (Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River). So rather than pointing the finger at Jews, it is you who is required to give up land and move eastward!
25. Anything but peace?!?!
peter vojta ,   czech republic   (09.19.10)
Can anybody be suprised for talks leading nowhere, if people like this "lunatic" represents Israel? peter czech
26. #20 Maybe you don't regret it now
Nour ,   Palestine   (09.19.10)
But you will regret it soon. It's so ironic that someone who claims to desire peace is working to promote the settlement enterprise and even sending off his children there!
27. The Israeli people should decide the settlements
TJ ,   SA/USA   (09.19.10)
Let them choose between settlements or peace talks?
28. no.4
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.19.10)
Good posting Brian ,just one criticism, the freezing of all violence against Israeli civilians by Palestine etc.This is anathema to Islamofascists like Hamas or Hezbollah who can only operate through violence and murdering innocent Israelis as taking on the IDF will only show the sheer ineptitude and cowardice of the so called Muslim warrior ,as Hamas proved during operation cast lead or the daily suicide bombings and internecine violence of Sunni vs Shia all over the Arab/Muslim world ,no more violence ,no need for Hamas or Hezbollah ,simple logic .
29. no.25
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.19.10)
Hey dumb Czech ,if Lieberman is a lunatic ,what then ,in your dumb logic is Barack Obama ,who is so far left he might just fall off the planet soon ?
30. # 26
Birdi ,   Israel   (09.19.10)
His children are fully grown adults who made up their minds alone to live where they live. Btw, why dont you move back to Gaza & help promote peace ?
