The time is long overdue to send Peres out to pasture. Why is he still around and being given a voice. Isn't someone in Israel loud-mouthed enough to tell Peres where to go?

if any future 'palestinian' state is to be ETHNICALLY CLEANSED OF JEWS - the arabs of Israel must be repatriated in said future 'palestinian' state. It would be the cure all of all internal terrorism within Israel for starters. Lieberman should be PM - NOT fired FFS!

Unfortunately, Paul, Islamic Law or Shari'a a) forbids the making of any treaty with infidels, b) allows only temporary truces (hudna) but limits all hudnas to a max of 10 years and if the Muslims achieve sufficient power to destroy you they are allowed to breach the hudna and attempt to destroy you, c) forbids ANY land that was EVER under Islamic control to remain in infidel hands (remember that ALL of Israel was once under Ottoman/Muslim rule), d) declares Jews to be "the vilest creatures" created by their God, e) declares Jews to be the worst enemies of Islam, f) declares that Muslims must kill all the Jews in order to bring about the second coming of Mohamed, and g) any statements by Muslims to the contrary are lies which are sanctioned under the Shari'a doctrine of 'al taqiyya' or "lying to infidels for the faith". Because of (c) above, even Lieberman's solution will never bring peace. The Islamists will continue to target Israel until one or other is destroyed.

Lieberman should be fired, but the problem is Bibi. He is the one that cannot control his own government officials!

Jews manipulating and threatening the Arabs to capitulate, to take the partition deal with Netanyahu, or the Jews will unilaterally do a population/land transfer, and set their own borders and conditions.

Second, read the history of Jews in Islamic nation then you will find up what did happen to Jews of Iraq and Egypt and Afghan and Libyans and Iranian and others Jews in others Muslims nation? And the story keep going and going and the worse is the commandment of Prophet Mohammad (Find the Jew whom is hiding under the rock or tree or any where and kills them) and it is the education that the majority of Muslim kids will learn and will grow up with that, let say that I am not agree with liegeman but would some body tell me how will be possible to live with people whom believe to law of hate and that kind of hate will never let them to in peace with non believer? In the final there is not any democracy in religion of Islam and stop tries intentionally to sacrifice the State of Israel for your interest.

We all support Liberman. I don't remember anyoone electing Ron. What a joke. First, they need to fire Barak, before anyone else - and while that is not happening, I don't want to hear any clown barking...

You another Palestinian lover.Did you read what happened to many of the so called lady activists? Palestinian men chew them up and spit them out just for screeching out support for them. Who are the racists chausvinist pigs that marry children?

European and other non-American leftists might love Obama. However, America is fed up with him. According to the latest polls, Obama's approval rating is down to just 42%. Obama couldn't even sell 650 tickets to his recent fundraiser in N.Y.C. at only $50 each. Something any third tier rock group or motivational speaker can easily accomplish. Apparently there were more than 250 empty seats at the Obama fundraiser...in a heavily democratic city with a Greater Metro population of about 25 million! Israel is far more popular among Americans than Obama is. The countdown till Obama's mercifiul departure appears to have begun in earnest.

Reading the critique of Lieberman speaking his mind at the UN was depressing. Thankfully, the talkbacks took the lame excuse for a journalist to task. When will Israeli media learn that there is no such thing as a peace process; just a one way war by the Arabs against the Jews. They hate us, they want to kill us, we'll win, let's eat.

he is crazy, with no respect for his country, he shamed every reasonable being. fire the idiot

First Israel will not be second Lebanon Second, read the history of Jews in Islamic nation then you will find up what did happen to Jews of Iraq and Egypt and Afghan and Libyans and Iranian and others Jews in others Muslims nation? And the story keep going and going and the worse is the commandment of Prophet Mohammad (Find the Jew whom is hiding under the rock or tree or any where and kills them) and it is the education that the majority of Muslim kids will learn and will grow up with that, let say that I am not agree with liegeman but would some body tell me how will be possible to live with people whom believe to law of hate and that kind of hate will never let them to in peace with non believer? In the final there is not any democracy in religion of Islam and stop tries intentionally to sacrifice the State of Israel for your interest.

comments were co-ordinated then he should be fired. Maybe Ron Ben-Yishai should write about something other than politics such as: Fashion, no. Sport, no. Entertainment, no. Lifestyles, no. Health, no. etc. Well maybe he just should write columns?!

the majority of us think. I am not a far rightist, but I am an Israeli, and I have had enough of seeing my country SHRINK in size because of the so called FRIENDLY US, No more Peace talks, No more giving a piece of OUR land away. No more listening to the likes of Barak, he would have given Jerusalem away in its entirety when he was PM. (Would you?) STAND UP Israel we are a small nation with TOO big a heart.

truly cares about the welfare of our state and the gravity of this situation. The self-loathing left (who are actually born here), are deceived and willing to please their enemies and the world at any cost. They don't recognize that Fanatical Islam is not placated or satisfied with territory or land.

what Israel needs now at this time in history is more men like lieberman and less jellyfish like barak. if barak got his way you would have a supposed peace but at what cost and then what would be the cost the next time the palestinians demand more. oh yes they will demand more, it does not matter what you give them this time they will demand more until there is no Israel to make demands of.

No matter who's fault it is. The attempt to force Jews and Palestinians in one state of Israel failed miserably. If there is a geographical possibility where Israeli Arabs will be in Palestine by border shifting, without anyone moving from its home, its a great solution! It will have an enormous support in Israel. Thanks Zuabi!

It is easy to label Minister Liebermann as extreme or rightwing--but this is all meaningless. He is an Israeli of strong Zionist feelings, and not in any way extreme. Why this man from Moldava (not Russia, by the way) is a far better Israeli than a sabra like Barak I don't know. My fellow Israelis, this is our last stand, this Land of Israel. Any American-sponsored peace talks is automatically useless and hypocritical.

Time to fire Barak the bungling buffoon. Lieberman should be made prime minister. The majority of people on this talkback would agree. His plan is a very good one and if the left would check their ego at the door and realize that for good of this country Lieberman's plan should be implemented.

The fact is that Ron Ben Ishai has marked up some huge blunders. I still remember when he knowingly assured all that Sadam Hussein would not last long in power after Quwait and the 1st Bush campaign. And this was long before GWB came to power. The truth of any issue will always be the very opposite of what he "understands".

Israel connot afford to have the PM saying one thing and a nightclub bouncer from Moldavia attempting to play FM undermining evertying the PM says in one brief moment of ignorance. Lieberman must go, and the sooner the better.

Everybody knows that Liebermann uttered what everybody thinks. The PA and PLO let alone Hamas are not ready for a compromise. But Liebermann should have obeyed to a diplomatic wording not to give a pretext to the Israel-blamers. But honestly: the enemies of Israel will stay enemies even when an angel from heaven is FM in Israel. Hag sameach.

62 year history of war and they want to peace within a year. What a laught. Bafoons.

VOTE LIEBERMAN FOR PRESIDENT !! ISRAEL NEEDS TO GROW AND TO BE SAFE. ISRAEL FIRST- LIEBERMAN FIRST !!!

Most important is whether this idea is good. It is: we give up the land, and nobody is forced to leave their home. There is no reason to force Israeli Palestinians who hate Israel to continue their suffering. The question whether Israel was unfair to them, or whether they were not loyal is irrelevant at this point. All Israeli Arabs are Zuabi - they said so themselves. All Israeli Arabs support Hamas and Hizballa - ask Zuabi and look at the flags in their demonstrations. Why continue to suffer and hate if there is a human, decent, geographical solution? Live and let live. We in a smaller Israel, and they in Palestine.

Only the Leftists seem to have a problem with Lieberman-Israel's outstanding Foreign Minister. The Leftists-Appeasers lost. The Right Wingers-Israel's Patriots won. If Leftism prevails, Israel will disappear into the dustbin of history. The problem with the Leftists is that they do not know the GOD of Israel and the Land of Israel. They are not true Jews. A true Jew is one who knows the GOD of Israel and knows the Land of Israel that GOD gave and restored to the Jewish nation. Lieberman is a strong leader who stands against the Tsunami of anti-Israel onslaughts of the world of AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists-dark forces.

Fire the Leftists-Appeasers in the government and NOT Lieberman. The former will sell Israel for '30 pieces of silver' like Judas.
