Related: About this forumLieberman: Disloyal Israeli Arabs should be beheaded
http://www.haaretz.com/news/israel-election-2015/1.646076Israeli Arabs who are disloyal to the State of Israel should have their heads chopped off, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said at an elections conference at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya this week.
"Whoever's with us should get everything up to half the kingdom," Lieberman said Sunday, in a reference to King Ahaseurus' pledge to Queen Esther as described in the Book of Esther, which tells the story of the Purim holiday celebrated last week.
But Israeli Arabs who are disloyal to the state deserve a different fate, the chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu said at the "Voting for Democracy 2015 Elections" election conference, Channel 2 News reported.
"Those who are against us, there's nothing to be done we need to pick up an ax and cut off his head," Lieberman said. "Otherwise we won't survive here."

Un. Fucking. Believable.
If this had been said by any politician in the democratic world about Christian, Muslim or Jewish citizens it would have been condemned outright.
I must admit that Israeli politicians have quite an acrobatic talent for simultaneously putting their foot into their mouth while their heads are planted firmly up their ass.
You just can't hasbara this kind of freakish nonsense away...try as some may.

whilst somersaulting off a trampoline. And the hoop will be on fire and there will be magnesium bombs going off and a brass band playing.
Vote for me.
