Lieberman: Israel Should Shoot Stone-Throwers as ‘Terrorists’
Insists Only Shootings Can Stop 'Arab Rioters'
Avigdor Lieberman, the once and likely future Foreign Minister of Israel, has pressed newly appointed Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon to radically redefine the rules of engagement for the military in the occupied West Bank, encouraging them to shoot stone-throwers as “terrorists.”
Israeli human rights groups have spent the past few months complaining that the military is already violating its rules of engagement by regularly shooting stone-throwers, even though the rules explicitly ban doing so.
The sudden interest in extra shootings came after an incident last week in which a stone thrower caused a crash which badly injured an Israeli family, including a three year old girl.
Lieberman insists that in the wake of the incident Israel should treat any stone throwing as identical to firing a gun, and that shooting stone throwers as a general rule in the only thing that can stop “the Arab rioters.”

Two points about this Racist child molester. One, He specifies Arab protesters and does not mention Jewish land thieves in the West Bank who employ the same tactic. Two, this thug was convicted by way of confession of beating to a pulp a 12 year child who required hospital care. As most stone throwers are children he is advocating murdering children.
Israel and Isreal Firsters in many countries forced Austria to not allow Haider in the government after his party received so much support that his entry was earned. If international pressure can dictate other governments such as Austria to limit its membership to acceptable individuals the same rule applies to the Racist zionist state.
The international community should demand that Israel under the threat of severe economic sanctions that would cripple its banking system ban this bloodthirsty Racist felon from office. Israel has the right to appoint its own public officials. It has no right to marketplaces of other countries that find its Racist aparthied system unacceptable to their own moral standards.
Israel is always the first to cast a stone, it is time for its glass house to be shattered.

How about Mr. Lieberman, that every human being on this planet should shoot any zionist in sight immediately as moral duty to bring lasting peace on this planet? One gets sick just reading your ideas!!! peter czech

Avigdor Lieberman is the perfect example as to why higher cultures do not let brothers and sisters have children together.

When you elect a bouncer to a political office …. you shouldn't be surprised about such non sense .
But the bigger issue is a bit different : at what point will the Israeli voter have to be held responsible for their "election choices" ? Lets face it ; democracy is a two edge sword : It is a tool for majority rule ; but it also has to be a tool to hold the voters responsible for their choices .

Lieberan never misses a chance to show how low a human being can be. I wondere if the former bounce turned face of Israel understand that the rock thrower are the people who lived in the land that Israel stole in the 1967 war of aggression which Israel started. I wonder if Lieberman would want the survirors of the USS Liberty.

Ask the children what would make them want to STOP having to throw stones. Or is that too sensible ?
