A number of Israeli Arab leaders, including MPs, have expressed strong opposition to proposals, pushed by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, to “swap” a large number of Arab towns to the Palestinians.
UAL MP Ahmed Tibi insisted Lieberman was alone in pushing the plan and that it wasn’t serious, but recently other reports have suggested the idea is being broached by Israeli officials to the US.
Lieberman pushed the idea again today, insisting he would never support any peace deal that didn’t include “exchanging” a large number of Israeli Arab people to the Palestinians as a basic condition.
With Naftali Bennett angrily condemning peace in general, Lieberman has tried to position himself as the moderate in the Israeli government, embracing the theory of a peace deal so long as it includes his demands.
How racist can you get?
I don't think we've seen the limits yet…
Confirmation of an Apartheid agenda from the Likuds!
Israel has a policy of allowing any Jew regardless of where they come from to enter Israel and become citizens but refuses to allow persons who are not Jewish even if they were born there!
While Jewish groups elsewhere espouse the exact opposite policies in countries abroad. Open doors in America. Closed ones in Israel.
Any peace deal should include the deportation of Lieberman and about a million other Russian Israeli's back to Russia from whence they came. They have zero right to any of Palestine and Russia is their true homeland. Of course they might not be welcomed back, if they are like Lieberman.
The only swapping to be done is to swap Israel's horde of est. Euro migrants squatters back inside Israel's legitimate borders or better still back from whence they came.
What does Palestinian land deal with Israel have to do with Arabs. If the Arabs can live where they are, in spite of Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian land, then there should be no valid reason for them to uproot themselves and their families in yet another attempt to facilitate Israel and its 65Y of UN violations.
Send the land thieves packing and give them a bill for the trouble they caused.
"Send the land thieves packing"
OK. Who do you want to start with?
The white settlers of America? The Hispanic settlers of Latin America? The Arabs of North Africa and the Middle East?
What's the cutoff date for you folks? Precisely when did land thievery become a bad thing in your exalted minds? When your own ancestors stopped doing it? When you yourselves began reaping the rewards?
Liberman's a buffoon, but no more than the rest of you sanctimonious hypocrites who spend your days in fits of self-righteous pique, ignoring the uninhibited racism directed AT Israel, excluding all context and acquitting all other bad actors as a way of disguising your own glaring bigotry.
@Clarence: "Precisely when did land thievery become a bad thing in your exalted minds?"
ME: Thanks, Clarence, I take that as your acceptance of the (to most obvious) fact that the I/J/Z-plex has in fact stolen land, namely most of (Mandate) Palestine. And that, in the post-colonial world; confirming what I have previously said, that as well as liars, cheats etc., the I/J/Z-plex mass-murders for spoil, here soil.

This, and Israel's attempts to claim the Jordan valley, are simply brazen attempts to get the world to agree that Israel's behavior is acceptable. Aside from its purely evil nature, if it was accepted, it would have blowback throughout the world.
> “… Lieberman has tried to position himself as the moderate in the Israeli government…”
It is a measure of just how evil and extreme the “israeli” government really is that an outright fascist like Avigdor Lieberman could possibly be considered a “moderate”.
Disgusting and monstrous.
He's calling himself a "moderate." There are few who would validate that description. Just as George Bush Jr. called himself a "compassionate conservative" there was little he did that could be construed as compassionate and he was not a conservative – except under his own definition, of course.
This … from that beacon of morality, the fount of "purity of arms", and the only "democracy" in the middle east…..I'm shocked.

Seriously !!!
Lieberman is only a moderate to those more extreme than he is.
