Lieberman is dying to say it

Lieberman is dying to say it

By Marwan Bishara in Imperium on February 23rd, 2010

When Europe's blood pressure went up over the use of fake European passports in the assassination of Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli foreign minister, changed his line from ambiguity to deniability. There is no proof of Israeli involvement, he retorted. And that is that.

My guess is that Lieberman had to 'cut the ambiguity' because the government of Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, does not want to further exacerbate tensions with its European allies against the backdrop of continued illegal Jewish settlements and a deadlocked 'peace process'.

But Lieberman, the eccentric former nightclub bouncer, is dying to take responsibility for the assassination of Israel's "enemy combatant" to borrow from the Pentagon's dictionary.

Or, to paraphrase one of Hollywood's epics, A Few Good Men, " ... he's pissed off that he has to hide behind all this ... he wants to say that he made a command decision and that should be the end of it".

We've elected class B actors to the presidency, so why can't Israel have an ex-night club bouncer as a foreign minister?

Democracy has its faults, and I suppose to continue to live free we will have to tolerate them.

in terms of truth telling, that is.

about why IMO Israel does not give a sh*t about what the EU thinks or does as long as it has it's "Uncle s" across the Atlantic on its side something that there is a slight chance could be compromised if it openly admitted to this act much like Israels nuclear weapons "it's one thing to know and another to show"
