3/10/2015
An Israeli politician and academic have called for an investigation to be launched into the comments of Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman after he called for the beheading of Arab-Israelis who were not loyal to the state of Israel.
Arab-Israeli politician Ahmad Tibi, leader of the Arab Movement for Change (Taal) party, said that Lieberman is the Jewish Islamic State after the countrys top diplomat issued his inflammatory remarks at an election rally in the western city of Herzliya on Sunday.
In a speech to Arab students at Jenin University in the West Bank city of the same name, Tibi said that the united Arab Joint List (a coalition of Arab-Israeli parties) would remove racists and fascists heads only through democratic means - bringing as many [Knesset] seats as possible and active participation in the election. The stronger we are, the weaker Jewish IS will be.
"Minister Lieberman's statement about 'beheading' Israeli Arabs demands the opening of an investigation," Tibi added.

(16,350 posts)where do you think this ultra-nationalism mixed with fascism came from?
Not Judaism.
Russia.

(30,099 posts)Your Russian correlation is absurd, never mind offensive to Russians.
Israeli policy to include torture is twisted, anyone who condones it and what
this man has said to win the hearts and minds of Israeli voters needs to
self examine themselves...they don't need to question Judaism nor the
Russian influence.

(45,850 posts)Lieberman was born on 5 June 1958 in Kishinev, Soviet Union (now Chişinău, Moldova). His father Lev (18 May 1921 2 July 2007) had served in the Red Army and spent seven years in a Siberian exile under Joseph Stalin's rule,[1] where he met Evet's mother Esther (2 July 1924 - 4 December 2014).[7][citation needed] His family had a strong Jewish identity, and he spoke only Yiddish up to the age of three.[8] After high school, Lieberman applied to study international law at Kiev University, but was, according to an interview, rejected for being Jewish. He then temporarily enrolled at the Chişinău Agriculture Institute with a hydrological land improvement major.

After the 2011 Duma election, in which Russian President Vladimir Putin's party United Russia won, Lieberman was the first politician to describe them as "absolutely fair, free and democratic". Putin has described Lieberman's own political career as "brilliant". Lieberman's pro-Russian stance and perceived friendly relations with Putin have also drawn criticism from fellow Israelis.
