Brodner's Cartoon du Jour: Have I Got a Lieberman for You!
Wed Apr. 8, 2009 10:17 AM PDT
Thinking about Avigdor Lieberman, the new hate-foaming Israeli foreign minister. Yes, FOREIGN MINISTER. I was wondering whom he reminded me of. Then I realized it's BILLY MAYS the ubiquitous TV pitchman, who advertises KaBoom! among other things. They look alike, and who knows, they may be related. Or alter egos. In any case this alternative universe where you can find a grotesque version of something recognizable is very interesting to me. Like Bizarro-world. What if we all had a crazier, weirder version of ourselves currently living in Israel? Interesting graphic novel.
This Lieberman has opposed the Anapolis peace process, threatened Israeli Arabs with deportation unless they sign loyalty oaths, and lots more. I guess they should be grateful if they are only to be deported. This from Christopher Schult in Der Spiegle:

Continued From Above
His words have the force of cluster bombs. He spares no one. He once proposed executing Arab members of the Knesset with ties to Hamas or Hezbollah as "Nazi collaborators." Later he suggested that Israel should proceed in the Gaza Strip the way Russia did in Chechnya — without consideration for losses or civilians. This remark gained him a reputation as a virulent racist.
If Lieberman had his way, perhaps Tehran would have been obliterated as a punishment for Iran's refusal to shut down its nuclear program. Years ago he threatened Egypt — Israel's key ally in the Arab world — with the bombardment of the Aswan Dam unless the regime withdrew support for then-PLO leader Yasser Arafat. He also had one of his typical remarks at the ready for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. It was about time the president paid a visit to Jerusalem, Lieberman said, "and if he doesn't want to come, he can go to hell."
Here's the good (if deeply annoying) twin:

Lieberman is now starting to scare even the other Zionist right wingnuts in Israel. I think there is going to be a SMACKDOWN between obama and the Israeli government. It will be like THUNDERDOME, two men in, one man out LOL
Obama already starting to get congress on board, see here:

I hope that BLOODY ISRAEL gets what is coming to the Middle-East's bully! BLOODY ISRAEL's only export is terror! It is a schill, a poodle, for the Military/Industrial/OIL mafia as proved by the last mis-administration. I think Americans should get to vote on BLOODY ISRAEL's yearly 'stipend'. AIPAC should be barred from any activities, and access to our congress-critters should be STOPPED! The egregious $$$$$$ that AIPAC collects from US pays for all their bribes, the 'Poor Jew' propaganda that is pouring out of our TV's as we speak, and who............pray tell..............is going to ever investigate all the black renditions that BLOODY ISRAEL does???? The torture black sites, ...................gee, not one person has looked inside of BLOODY ISRAEL, have they???

“A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.” ~George Washington, ~page 269 of The 5000 Year Leap.
“The nation which indulges toward another habitual hatred or habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interests." ~ George Washington
"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Lieberman is part of a carefully orchestrated Kabuki by the Israeli leadership. They can play good cop, tut-tutting about his views and gently ease him out of power over the next year as a "concession" to US demands. All the while they will, of course, ram through with their illegal land and building seizures and extermination of selected civilians.
Deportation?

Where would they be deported to? Jordan, Syria, Lebanon? Hell, they don't want them either. Ironically, they would probably have to be deported to some Christian country.
