With elections just about a week away, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s party has been struggling, and it seems to be impacting his already limited impulse control.
On Sunday, during an election rally in Herzliya, Lieberman was making his usual anti-Arab comments, and went off the rails a bit, calling for disloyal Arabs to be beheaded, saying it was vital for Israel’s survival.
Beheading as a campaign platform is controversial, to say the least, and sparked considerable criticism of Lieberman, whose party is already expected to lose a large number of seats amid a corruption scandal.
While the threats were aimed at Israeli Arab citizens, not the Palestinians in the occupied territory, they did lead the Palestinian Authority to issue a statement saying they intend to petition the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the remarks.
Ever one to double-down on bad decisions, and apparently to dramatically overestimate his chances in the upcoming poll, Lieberman threatened the PA too, saying that he will respond to them after the election, when he is appointed defense minister and has control over Israel’s military.
ISIS = Israel/US
ISIS are not muslims. That's why ISIS destroys the remains of the Islamic and local civilization to purge the memory of history to prepare the region for "greater Israel. That's why Israel-US-Britain invaded Iraq and looted Iraqi musium, the library. And now their proxy, ISIS, is doing the same in Syria and Iraq. Many video and photos have been presented to show that Israel and ISIS are working together.
If I were king of the forest, I'd be tempted have Lieberman axed 'where'dja put da bomb' for the rest of his life. ,,,but I'd probably just settle for a straight jacket and a very dark place.
"If I were king of the forest,…" I'd wrap him in burlap and give him a wineskin of water from the public water system in Gaza – oh, wait, the Israelis destroyed that…oh well, just collect some of that water from the ditch along the road – same diff. Then give him a loaf of week old bread, like what is available in Gaza – a little mold along the edges will provide some protein. And I'd give him a bag of green olives – oh wait, many of the Palestinian olive groves have been destroyed…so, make that a can of California black olives and since he's resourceful, forget the can opener – he can figure it out. Then I'd drop his Moldavian butt in the middle of the Saharan desert, give him a slap on the ass and wish him well. He can be the PM of the sand dune.
This scumbag is exactly the opposite of what his family name means. However, he does know that there is considerable resonance for his remark among the Israeli voters. Frightening.
I'm sure that Zionist ally 'Jihadi John' will be happy to train Lieberman…
He shoould be beheaded togheter with other zionist criminals …for benefit of humanity…Pedro CR
I assume he is calling for beheading 'disloyal Jews' as well- you know, the ones who oppose him and his policies? Why doesn't he publicly call for their deaths as well- or, wait, you don't suppose he's applying a double standard for Jews and Arabs, do you?
S'pect it could expand to include any opponent if he got his way. But it'd probably be after he ran out of the easier prey… But I know you're right about the current spirit in which it's given and taken there… .
Beheadings? Kind of crude there, Avigdor. Ever consider mass execution chambers using something less bloody than cutting throats, I don't know – maybe something invisible such as gas
