31. Other than Nazis and incestuous paedophiles
8th Generation Sabra   (05.20.12)
does Austria produce anything of value?
32. He is unable to survive without his party.
Hans-Peter Dollhopf ,   Ludwigshafen/Germany   (05.20.12)
In 1987/88, Defense Minister Darabos had refused military service, instead he did the alternative civilian service. All he ever achieved in life was related to the Austrian Sicialdemocratic party SPÖ, which fostered him in return for absolute ideological obedience. Remarkable, he was responsible for the downgrade of the Eurofighter which in the end increased the price per unit. Also he called the missile defence program for Central Europe a "provocation"!!! This guy is so nuts a leftist can ever be. Nevertheless the ruling SPÖ made him Defense Minister. This is the way in Austria nepotism is practiced (the Greek way).
33. Morals of Austria
Tomi Budapest ,   Budapest,Hungary   (05.20.12)
An Austrian politician is critizising Lieberman. Has he ever raised his voice against his president Kurt Waldheim,who commited war crimes as member of the Waffen SS. Not at all. He must have been proud of the good manners of Waldheim. Yes,he was not a Jew. Just a simple murderer. Absolutely fit for holding the title : President of Austria!

Thank you. I was wondering when somebody would bring up Kurt Waldheim. Also, I wonder what this Darabos character has to say about the fact that his country's Gestapo-like police strip-searched an American nun at the airport when she arrived with a group who was protesting Waldheim's election. And he actually has the unmitigated gall to talk about Lieberman having been a nightclub bouncer?
35. # 29 IRRELEVANT !!
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (05.20.12)
Stop bleating "antisemitism" every time someone criticises you. Get over yourself already.
36. Europe's long history of inactivity
withheld ,   Copenhagen, Denmark   (05.20.12)
Serves as a much greater threat to humanity than any action against inhumanity. In order to stop hostile forces in it's tracks, you have to confront them. You can't just wish the threat away. Some Europeans still resort to this idealistic refuge, but usually this place of comfort is not in this world, but in the world of dreams and ideas. It's ironic that most countries actually have a law, that prosecutes people who chooses "not to act", when action is needed. I.E.: A man walks along the road and sees a car accident, where the victims are clearly in a need for medical care, if the man chooses to walk on by and not help, he would actually be committing a crime by not acting. In short, it sucks that you sometimes need to engage in awful warfare, but if the other guy is determined, you should also be.
37. Darabos is just a grunting Nazi pig !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.20.12)
38. Austria
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (05.20.12)
What shame with you, nazi era is over, we do not follow your laws any more. You better criticized you new fuhrers. Leave Lieberman out of your mouth. He is a real Jew
39. Darabos as rude as Lieberman
rebecca ,   Modiin   (05.20.12)
For any politician to publicly say what Darabos said, is as rude as he makes Lieberman out to be. Like pot calling the Kettle black.
40. Lieberman making the world sit up and listen
rebecca ,   Modiin   (05.20.12)
Lieberman may not have the diplomatic light touch of many of our previous Foreign ministers, but he and Netanyaho have changed the way the world works with us. For the most part the EU has cooled its rhetoric towards us, America is giving us more of what we need ( protection systems) and the middle east is getting more vocal which is like a dog barking rather than biting. Sometimes change is good.
41. May the little mutt end up like Jorg Haider.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (05.20.12)
42. I red this piece few times and I still
leo ,   usa   (05.20.12)
could not understand what constitutes “unbearability" of Lieberman in the eyes of Darabos. Either piece is incomplete or we are talking about good old Austrian non-acceptance of a Jew. I hope it's former of reasons.
43. Darabos is a Social Democrat aka a Socialist
Matthew ,   West Coast, USA   (05.20.12)
He'd probably like Ehud Barak a lot, seeing how they're both Socialist dorks.
44. Lieberman unbearable
Harold ,   USA   (05.20.12)
The Austrian Foreign Minister is abosultely right. What do we expect from a Foreign Minister who used to be a Club Bouncer in the Soviet Union.
45. #44 Harold
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (05.20.12)
Here you go again with your virulent antisemitism as usual. Can you say anything positive about Jewish people? You still spit same words like the nazis.
46. AUSTRIA needs a thousand years to
RayS ,   USA   (05.20.12)
cleanse itself of it's Nazi crimes.. Lieberman is a far better man than any Austrian government official.
47. It is Nazi Austria that is unbearable
Avi ,   Jerusalem   (05.20.12)
Austria never paid for its welcome to Hitler (himself an Austrian) and for the many Austrian Nazis who headed the Holocaust
48. The level of diplomats in Austria is the ...
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (05.20.12)
worst, how can this inept nazi talk about his percieved image of Lieberman?. Is diplomacy dependent on these irratiuonalities? Is he confusing the world wit a soap opera. What an incredibel JERK!!!!
49. Austria hates tough Jews, they only like Jews as victims
Yaniv ,   Israel   (05.20.12)
50. Of course Lieberman is unbearable... He is a self-respecting
Lieberman 4 PM of ,   Israel   (05.20.12)
Jew. No goy can take that.
51. History lesson for you: this is the 21st. Century
Tom W ,   USA   (05.20.12)
Stop incessantly referencing to the NATIONAL Socialists (Nazis) as the vanguard of the virulent antisemitism of nowadays. The modern champions of vile Jew hatred are the INTERNATIONAL Socialists (Marxists-Leftist) who are the true rulers of most Western countries' elite and its media. Don't deflect the attention from the Socialists and don't absolve the Soros, Haaretz, Darabos goons: G. Grass' ilk are (today!) Socialists and his old SS uniform is hidden in his closet. Open you eyes, the world has not changed since the 30's only our enemies switched colors, from Brown to Red like the chameleons.
52. Problem is he is saying what most other leaders thinking.
Avi   (05.20.12)
The loonies here might love Lieberman but truth of the matter is he is the most ineffective FM in Israel history because exactly those reasons. He is not involve in the "peace process" he is not talking to Israel benefactor the US, US comm with Bibi or Barak only, he is a sad figure, celebrated by those sad souls here.
53. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.20.12)
Abraham Lincoln was a log rail splitter turned president. Got any issues with that? Besides, since when did the post of foreign minister become a matter of "public relations?" You are SUCH a fool! Normal Israelis don't (thankfully) think along the same warped lines as you. Minister Lieberman refuses to cave in to Europeans -- and others -- who cannot rid themselves of their preferred image of Jews as cowering, meek individuals. If you are a cowering, meek individual -- actually, your problems run deeper than that -- then perhaps you ought to leave for greener pastures. Have you tried Ramallah?
54. To: Tom at No. 51
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.20.12)
Thank you, but we know.
55. To; No. 52
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.20.12)
Again, your ignorance shines through with stark clarity. Minister Lieberman does not take his marching orders from Europe (who prefer meek and docile Jews and would like nothing more than to see the State of Israel disappear). Moreover, he is a decorated soldier and has a university education. What do YOU have to offer the Jewish people? Not much, I warrant.
56. Because he si
Gady ,   Mexico City   (05.20.12)
...Unbearable
57. Not Austrian, definitely NOT Croat, but Hungarian!
Gabor Fränkl   (05.20.12)
A creepy man...
58. #56 Mexico? Please don't pontificate here
Tom W   (05.20.12)
50.000 people were massacred, dozens of people's -- both men an women -- heads were severed and dumped on the highways.... !Si! That is Mexico. A failed narco-state, gang-wars, mass-killings and mutilation...!Si! That's is Mexico.
59.  Nr 51. History lesson -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (05.21.12)
The Four Faces of Socialism - Social-Domocracy who is the Mother of the other three Socialisms - Communism-Facism-Nationalsocialism. They are all Anti-Jewis/Anti-Israelis/(Antisemitic). And they are all Minors as in comparizon With Islam and Islamists. That is 5 Angels of the Evil One. Arn.Sweden.
60. #52 "he is a decorated soldier and has a university...."
Robert ,   Australia   (05.21.12)
So was 2nd Lt William Calley.
