Israel’s Lieberman calls for beheading of Arab Israelis

Minutes after putting up the groovy IDF song for Defence Minister Ya'alon, I discover this streaming before me on social media: Israel’s Lieberman calls for beheading of Arab Israelis Mon Mar 9, 2015 12:18AM The Israeli foreign minister has called for the beheading of all Arabs living in the occupied territories, only because of their opposition to the policies of the Tel Aviv regime. Avigdor Lieberman said on Sunday that all Arabs who reside in occupied Palestine and oppose Israel for its discriminatory policies against the Palestinians should be decapitated. “… those against us, it cannot be helped, we must lift up an ax and behead them — otherwise we will not survive here.”  Lieberman said. The extremist Israeli politician, who leads the Yisrael Beytenu party, made the remarks during a campaign event ahead of the general election slated for mid March. Lieberman has repeatedly called for taking harsh measures against the Arabs living in the occupied territories, whom Lieberman call terrorists because of expressing their solidarity with the Palestinians. He has even called for issuing death penalties for those who publicly denounce Israeli’s policies against the Palestinians. “… [those] who raise a black flag on Nakba Day [on which Palestinians mourn the establishment of Israel] — from my perspective, they should leave here,” he said. Lieberman has also proposed a land swaps plan in which Arabs would be handed over to the Palestinian Authority in exchange for more territories in which Israel could expand its illegal settlements. In a TV debate earlier in the month, Lieberman lashed out at leader of the Arab party, Ayman Odeh, calling him a terror supporter and a fifth column. Lieberman is quite known for his odd and controversial comments on foreign policy issues, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu designating him as the “embarrassing foreign minister.” http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/03/09/400936/Arabs-opposing-Israel-must-be-beheaded COMMENT LMAO ... how bad do you have to be for Bibi to declare you an embarrassment! At first I wasn't sure this was real and wondered if PressTV had misconstrued what he'd said.  Maybe he didn't really mean literally behead them? This is unbelievable.  The guy's a foreign minister and he says crazy stuff like that. Some of the other Israeli politicians seem off their heads, too. Ayelet Shaked (HaBayit HaYehudi, The Jewish Home party member) is one of those. Confused about Israeli Arabs.  I thought they were Palestinians.  But they're not. Find it so bizarre that people in positions of power hold such extreme, hostile positions.
