You will get my vote for PM. You stand with dignity and tell the truth. To hell with the Turks, past present and future. Where is Bibi in all this?? I wasted my vote 3 years ago!!!

He is the kind of a man who tells the truth that you do not want to hear because you would rather hide behind empty promises and declarations that other Arab leaders and their useless friends in Turkey are doing. When the chips are down, you know, with G-d's help that IDF will prevail.

Israel exists, deal with it from your new home in Canada. Fact is, your family ran away to Lebanon in the face of conflict. Then they left for Canada. If they had the guts to fight for Israel, you might have some say. And if you think Turkey cares about the Palestinians, ask yourself where they've been for the past 62 years? This is about Turkey's quest for Islamic supremacy. Using the Palestinians to look good in the Arab/Muslim world and chanting "Death to Israel" is a copycat of their primitive neighbor. You know, the neighbor with all the problems.

It's about time somebody in authority finally said it. If Israel went back to the 1948 armistice lines, nothing would change. The Arabs want to destroy Israel, period. Everything else is just window dressing. Regardless of what concessions Israel makes, the Arabs will find an excuse to continue the terrorism until their true goal is achieved, which is the destruction of Israel. As we know from history and current Arab leader statements, any truce is based on the 628 A.D. 10 year truce Muhammad made with the tribe of Quraysh, which Muhammad violated a couple of years later when his army was stronger. Basically it means you can lie to your enemy with a fake truce... in order to rearm and get stronger...then come back attack and destroy your enemy. So it is important to understand the culture of the people you deal with. In this case it's easy, they are liars who never intend to keep their word. Finally it's good to hear somebody say it.

Continue to lie? Well maybe not. You would think with all the overwhelming evidence (video's, testimony from the Captain of Mavi Marmara etc.) that a President of a country (Turkey) continue to lie, and even have the gall to ask for an apology? It reveals the deviant mentality Israel must deal with while trying to negotiate a peace deal. We see HERE: http://naturalism7.blogspot.com/2010/06/gaza-flotilla-raid.html The Turkish leader doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. Israel and the blockade conformed to all International Laws. The blockade itself, the enforcement of it, and actions taken by Israel were all LEGAL. Those who disagree cannot point to any well sourced International Laws to back up their false claims. Yet they continue to repeat the "lie" hoping that repeating a "lie" often enough will make some people believe it's true. But as we saw from the above posted link, they have been BUSTED again, PALLYWOOD revealed, how does it taste? I love catching the liars, dead bang lying. CASE CLOSED.

...Safed was a major Palestinian town before al-Nakbah. Please check to see if your house was stolen from the Palestinians, or that its original owners would not one day come back to re-claim it.

Bravo Ivet! You are the only one left ( after Arik Sharon) in Israel who has guts to say the truth and act truely! I wish you to be elected as Prime Minister.

Nr. 5 pls. remember the Izmit Earthquake and how Israel helped Turkey. Helping in humanitarian needs is something different and both sides should refrain to put this on the table again and again. Let's talk about terrorism. Are you denying that IHH is a terrorist organization and Turkish government supported them? Well then you are trying to cover up the reality. The truth is that Turkey is supporting in one hand terrorism and promoting by giving its support. That's the reality.

When is Turkey going to apologise to the Armenian moslem people for committing genocide against them? Turkey murdered 1 and a half million Armenian people. Any country that committed genocide cannot teach anyone how to behave.

good speech which heads israel even in deeper isolation. and without foreign aid, israel won't survive. Or you can rely on your god

Nour,the only chance the RIGHT OF PALESTINIANS RETURN TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL,when there will be 5 days a week,or the sea turns into MALT WHISKY.

I am mostly disappointed in our Jewish friends and reading all these comments makes me realize how serious they are. The issue is very deep. Israeli gov't officials have to first understand all the problems. (but they dont). Why Turkey matters so much is well known in Jewish cycles. I am not sure what is to be accomplished by hating Turks. They request that the Turkish citizenship makes a difference. You cant treat everybody like a terrorist just because you feel like it. But the issue is much deeper. Turks are very angry about what was done in Iraq. and how it was done. Now Israel is throwing more wood into the fire by making energy deals in the Medi. Very very sad. Is this the level of love that Jews have for Turks?

All you erdogans,you have to understand PARUSKI! Pogyemajes? Andi mihakfar

without Israel's agreement, there will be no return of refugees. They'd all have to be absorbed into said Pal state. But cheer up, it's very doubtful things will get even that far. As far as you not accepting Zionist state : Who really gives a damn??

Finally, a man who is not a coward who calls a spade a spade! Surprisingly honest FM. Europe can use a man like him - before it's too late

We have the same enemies..

Everybody seems to understand this fact, except for Erdogan and his criminal gang. one advise for Turkey - stop being a ridiculous TURKEY!!! You will NEVER be accepted by the civilized nations unless you remove this cancer Erdogan. We arre laughing at how medeival you are : )

IS WHAT ISRAEL HAD AS LEADERS IN 48, 67, 73 THIS LEADER SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE THAT ISRAELS ENEMIES UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT . GET THIS GUY INTO TO THE PM POSITION YOU NEED HIM .

Israel is Honest Lieberman NO SPIN ZONE. He is the next prime minister of Israel.

You are a sick boy, obviously a stupid one. If you realy are a boy, then you are only a little liar. When you grow up, you will become a big liar, just like your Davutoglu who excels in it for many many years.

good for leibermann, he has his eyes open unlike the rest of the polictical idiots who keep their head in the ground and are totally afraid to speak the truth!@!

israel and turkey can not be friend again

a person with an OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)

I've read this article very closely.Mr Lieberman is correctly doing his job of stating the position of Israel's government regarding a foreign affairs issue.He's the Foreign Minister of an independent country,not a Turkish vassal. It seems to me that it's the Turkish PM and FM who are acting stupidly by taking the Israel government as a bunch of fools who can be pushed around by mendacious tyrants.The Turkish government line is juvenile,to say the least,but if they want to act like spoiled brats they shouldn't think that they're fooling anybody. But,Mohammed,I see no mention of war in Mr Lieberman's statement,yet how easily it slips off your tongue. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

At first I was actually pretty angry (but not totally surprised) over the tremendous PR mess that would likely come and then have to be cleaned up from the least diplomatic politician in Israel being appointed to be head of diplomacy, but sometimes it actually really is nice to finally have someone in the Israeli government with the guts to actually tell things like they are... (and I think if Israel actually stuck to its guns more often instead of always feeling the need to try to apologize to people, it would actually find itself getting a hell of a lot more respect in the world).

You don't have to! You and the rest of your ilk can move to Jordan which is the Palestinian state! Good luck on your way out and don't let the door hit you in the back.

likud mininster complains about liberman's blunt talk about the lies of dovotegolu and erdogan and hopeless negotiations with abbas. This same likud minister, like those who moved over to kadima who supported olmert in getting 150 israelis killed and not winning the hezbollah war. There are no lessomns to learn from this gutless coward likely micheal eitan. While israel has to be diplomatic and cautious at times, it has to be blunt about its security. Turkey has been lying its teeth off since this islamic buffoon erdogan came into power and its good that lieberman told them to go to hell. Likewise, barak and fuad have been trying to salvage turkey by going along with its lies and attempts at an ' apology' are being properly blocked by lieberman while supported by barak and bibi. Lieberman is the only one with guts in the cabinet along with yaalon.Israel does not have to apologize. And attempts to make peace more urgent won't work if its a false peace which it is. The arabs are not lying. What hamas says is the truth and israel should wipe hamas out,not defeat it, but wipe them out.

i have squirmed for years that israel speaks with such a low voice. about time, we have someone like lieberman who says it how it is. with lieberman, as they say, what you see is what you got. netayahu, i've said beforte, move over for a new king

along with all the primates who got this savage elected. There are a lot of westernized, literate, and successful Turks who dread the direction in which this terror-loving Erdogan is leading his nation to. Ataturk must be rolling in his grave.
