Lieberman: Palestinian Authority adopted concept of Judenrein
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Thursday that the Palestinian Authority has adopted the concept of Judenrein, after a PLO official said Wednesday that Palestinians and Israelis must be totally separated in a future Palestinians state.

Maen Areikat, the PLO Ambassador to the United States, answered a question about the legal status of a Jewish minority in the future state on Wednesday saying, "I believe, I still believe that as a first step we need to be totally separated."

Lieberman said that the comments by Areikat accompany other similar comments made by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and prove that the Palestinian Authority has adopted the concept of Judenrein.

"Countries around the world must take this into consideration when they discuss the request to establish a Palestinian state," Lieberman said, and urged Foreign Ministry representatives to file an official complaint to European Union countries and the U.S. government regarding Areikat's comments.

1. Pulling out all the stops I guess..Lieberman such an ass as well as a hypocrite.
The Likud platform is all about equality and peace of course:
snip*
Self-Rule

The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river.

The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs.

Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the eternal, united capital of the State of Israel and only of Israel. The government will flatly reject Palestinian proposals to divide Jerusalem, including the plan to divide the city presented to the Knesset by the Arab factions and supported by many members of Labor and Meretz. The government firmly rejects attempts of various sources in the world, some anti-Semitic in origin, to question Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital, and the 3,000-year-old special connection between the Jewish people and its capital. To ensure this, the government will continue the firm policies it has adopted until now:

No diplomatic activity will be permitted at Orient House. The government stopped the stream of visits by heads of state and ministers at Orient House, begun under the left-wing government.

The presence of the Israeli police in eastern Jerusalem will be increased. This in addition to the new police posts and reinforcements in the neighborhoods.

The Likud government will act with vigor to continue Jewish habitation and strengthen Israeli sovereignty in the eastern parts of the city, while emphasizing improvements in the welfare and security of the Arab residents. Despite protests from the left, the Likud government consistently approved the continuation of Jewish living within the Old City and in 'City of David'.
