Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman visited Sderot today, calling for an immediate invasion of the Gaza Strip, saying that Israel can’t stop rocket production simply with air strikes.
Lieberman panned talk of a ceasefire as “postponing a problem instead of dealing with it,” and insisted the rockets, none of which have caused any injuries in the most recent round of attacks, pose a threat not only to Sderot, but to all of central Israel as well.
Never one to quit while he’s ahead in making public pronouncements, Lieberman went on to call for military action against Gaza Premier Ismail Haniyeh and Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, saying they and other top Hamas politicians must consider themselves “legitimate targets.”
Lieberman has been talking up a military reoccupation of Gaza for years, saying the Israeli military needs to carry out a “thorough cleansing” of the tiny strip of all opposition to Israel.
If the Gazans did not shoot rockets, they would have nothing to stop doing as an offer to stop the Israeli killing.
Ergo, turn about would be fair play. Hamas should "target" Vig and Bibi.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, a point that the convicted, confessed child molester Avigdor Lieberman seems to miss. A decent country would not have a Felon Minister handling affairs with other countries.
I wish the world targets this sorry waste of DNA. From a bouncer in a nightclub to a foreign minister, only in Israel.
Hamas = legitimately elected government of Gaza. But they are "legitimate targets" for Israel. So much for democracy. U.S, Egypt and Israel have pretty much discredited the idea of democracy to the point that it's amazing if anyone still believes in it.
