Avigdor Lieberman is truly making a name for himself. He is probably the most hated Israeli politician since kahane. In just one day, he has aroused both local and international figures with his shenanigans….
The first instance comes from the Turkish Prime Minister who claims that Lieberman threatened to nuke Gaza . Now, that’s a pretty serious charge…
Relations between Turkey and Israel froze last week when the Turkish Government refused to take off the air a television drama that depicts Israeli soldiers killing Palestinian children.
Now, this new revelation about Lieberman…. makes one wonder what else the Turks have been keeping quiet about.
The second instance comes locally, from a Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset, Ahmed Tibi. He branded Lieberman’s party ‘fascist’ over Nakba bill.
Tibi lashed out at Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s party over its sponsorship of a bill that would outlaw state funding for the commemoration of Israel’s establishment as a catastrophe or “Nakba” for Palestinians.
Much of what goes on in Israel is ignored by the International Press or completely overlooked by those governments that support Israel blindly. The above two incidents will get coverage most likely, but the day to day atrocities carried out by the Israelis against the Palestinians will continue to be ignored.
In the meantime, can we hope that the third strike against Lieberman will ’strike him out’?http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2009/10/26/israels-rising-star/
