Time to go, Lieberman

Back to Khazaria!!!! Don't forget to take the other 7 million with you

Never before has a minister prompted so much embarrassment, shame

It appears that the time has come to tell Minister Lieberman, with all due respect and politeness, please go. Go away. You can go working for your daughter, who overnight magically became a financial whiz. Go to your home at the settlement of Nokdim to count the sheep of your Palestinian neighbors. Go to Minsk, the capital of the Belarusian dictatorship; your favorite state in Europe. Become newly religious, or newly secular, travel the world, free as a bird. Just go.

It’s too early to determine whether Lieberman is criminally at fault in respect to the affair attributed to him now. Like any other person under interrogation, he is innocent until proven guilty. Yet he is not innocent when it comes to shame: It is doubtful whether an Israeli government ever included a minister who caused the State such great embarrassment internationally and such great shame domestically.

Lieberman is guilty of obstruction: He has obstructed and is still obstructing the efforts to improve Israel’s status in the world. Lieberman is also guilty of breach of trust: During his year in the post of foreign minister he breached the trust of the citizens of his country.

If the reports published Tuesday are accurate, while serving as our envoy in Belarus, Lieberman’s protégé Ze’ev Ben-Ariyeh received a sealed envelope from the Israel Police containing classified investigation details. He was supposed to hand the envelope over as is to Belarusian authorities. Instead, he opened it and handed over its contents to Lieberman, who at the time was a Knesset member (and denies that he read the document.) More?
