61. Avigdor Lieberman
Sandra ,   Ra'anana Israel   (10.11.10)
You've said exactly what I think. So glad I voted for you. The world and his wife, are always trying to push us around. Europe, UK, USA, et al. Go and deal with your own huge problems, then when you have solved them, you can come and tell us how you can help. Until then, mind your own business. Sick of the lot of you!
62. #50 What's your secret?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.11.10)
For a member of a vanquished, stateless people, who have no real hope, at least in the near future, how do you maintain what appears to be an amazingly good sense of humor?
63. France CAN represent palestinians
marc   (10.11.10)
If Palestinians want it. Israel has no say over what Palestinians want. Israel needs to mind its own business here.
64. #63
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (10.11.10)
Really? Well, France can have the Pals. They're welcome to them.
65. #60, don't be a plonker all your life
M.Oliver ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.10)
Only the strong foreign policy will save this place from being torn apart by well-wishers and peaceniks. So thank him for being the right man for the job at the right time.
66. Common sense
Olavi ,   Espoo, Finland   (10.11.10)
Foreign minister Lieberman speaks the language the European counterparts shoulde do too. He says the truth. He is very competent. The target is the security of Israel. EU foreign ministers may have other target than security and spirit of European civilization. Shame for them.
67. More like South Africa than Czechoslovakia
emc   (10.11.10)
68. NO to appeasement!
Khaled Meshal ,   Hamas, Damascus   (10.11.10)
YES to resistance! We will not go down the road of Czechoslovakia!
69. LIEBERMAN WORTH MORE THAN
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.11.10)
Forget Nothinyahu ,Tzipi de doo da ,Barak the putz and moshe Dayan the one eyed freak .Lieberman is worth his weight in gold. G-d bless mr. Lieberman.
70. #21 Odd definition of native!
Mike ,   UK   (10.11.10)
The imaginary figure of 8.5 million people you come up with is actually about 10,000 refugees who have now resetelled in neigbouring countries. Your so called natives were NOT born in Israel and neither were their parents or grandparents. I note you also continue to to ignore the equal number of Jewish refugees who were forced to flee Arab countries and had no where to go except Israel.... why don't you just keep on referring them to immigrants. Learn your history and some basics maths before posting here you racist fool.
71. BIBI GO HOME ,TIME FOR YVETTE
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.11.10)
Israel needs Lieberman not appeasers and servile jews.
72. # 36
Ian ,   Johannesburg   (10.11.10)
Just remember one thing Jewish civilization is much older than European , so we have every right to take care of our own interests and you have forgotten that every time we put our safety into other nations hands we get murdered !!! Appeasement = Holocaust. Well done Lieberman
73. Only....
ed ,   IL   (10.11.10)
two eggs to make an omelet.
74. #21
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.10)
Further to #71. We have already gone over this hundreds of time: more than 95% of the people you call "Palestinian" are not natives or indigenous, but people who illegally immigrated to Israel between 1920 and 1948 during the British Occupation. And I issue my challenge again: declare that all Arabs whose ancestors immigrated to Israel since 1920 must be repatriated to their homelands, and we will sign a peace treaty in minutes with the peoples who lived here before 1920. Do you accept the challenge?
75. # 74
Linda ,   Poltava, Ukraine   (10.11.10)
The implementation (well, even commencement of the latter) of your idea will mean that the Arab dictatorships and theocracies will begin to disintegrate. Their very existence depends of the eternally burning "palestinian issue"; otherwise their populations will have nobody to blame for their awful fate except their own rulers.
76. RESPECT YOURSELVES AND...
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.11.10)
The world will respect you .An important lesson for appeasing trembling israelites .At last .Lieberman said what long needed to be said .Bless him.
77. #36 Matty Groves..you are the joke...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.11.10)
You quote...."Instead of acknowledging Israel’s utter failure to establish peace with the Palestinians over the last 60+ years"... ...actually Matty....the Arabs and "Palestinians" have failed to establish peace with Israel over the last 60+ years.... They are the ones that provoke and get whooped. ....Israel is defending herself...and usually doing it well. Leiberman Rocks!
78. #51 Raymond, unfortunately no chance : (
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.11.10)
The pay's too good and it would also be at the expense of her 'jollies'.
79. Oye! yet another brilliant fascist move!
(10.11.10)
what kind of diplomat is Mr. Lieberman? Is this an appropriate representation of Moldovian diplomacy? Cause it sure isn't an appropriate representation of Israeli diplomacy!
80. Loyalty oath implications for US dual citizens...
seadog1946 ,   Shooters Island, NJ   (10.11.10)
US citizens, holding dual citizenship, returning from trips abroad should take the Oath of Allegiance stressing the phrase "...I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen..." and then toss the passport of their choice into a strategically placed shredder!
81. Just a rogue state more
Ricardo Macher ,   Rio de Janeiro   (10.11.10)
Without a vigorous worldwide campaign to fully isolate Israel, we''ll have to listen to people like Lieberman and posts like these here. Israel is darkness among nations. It is an example not to be followed.
82. :: Robert - #51
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.11.10)
You say that about everyone you don’t agree with, for example: “just shows once again how out of touch you are and how simplistic and worthless your comments continue to be”. Branded someone as “irrelevant” is a standard ploy by Ynuts, it is one of their favorite words along side “biased”, “hypocritical”, “phony” and “Anti-Israeli”. Are you suggesting that I rise to your level and come out with such well researched gems as “Take away the "Ben" from your name, Steve #2 and what are we left with? "ass...i":”?

85. lieberman tells as it is
ed ,   reno, america   (10.11.10)
mr. lieberman speaks truth when he tells the europeans to clean thier own house before trying to clean Israels. that should go double for obama, when he has fixed his problems then he can offer advice. the peace is supposedly between the palestinians and Israel, so let them solve it. the arab league, the europeans and america should keep thier noses out of the supposed palestinian and Israeli conflict.
86. :: Mark - #77
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.11.10)
Actually they have offered Israel peace in the form of the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002 which Israel rejected. Tell me Mark what counter proposal did Israel offer? That’s right - none. Israel has never offered or suggested a comprehensive peace plan to its Arab neighbors. Tell me Mark how is the investigation by the Israeli State Prosecutor into Lieberman after the Israeli police recommended that he be put on trial for taking bribes, fraudulently receiving goods, obstructing justice, harassing witnesses, and laundering millions of shekels through shell companies and bank accounts? Isn’t it reckoned that Lieberman pocketed about $2.6 million in bribes?
87. no.63
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (10.11.10)
The only thing France can and wants to is sell weapons ,planes etc. to a Palestinian state to make up for the loss of all those social welfare benefits that the illiterate Muslim peasants have taken from the non-Muslim French citizen ,au revoir ?
