| Israeli FM wants all Arabs out |
| 2010-09-20 |
| [Iran Press TV] Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has called for expulsion of all Arabs from their homeland, which Israel took by force in 1948. Israel claimed existence in the year, when it occupied the Paleostinian territories during its full-fledged war against Arab nations. In 1967, it went on to capture and later annex the other Paleostinian lands of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) and later defied the international community's refusal to recognize the act. On Sunday, Lieberman said that Tel Aviv had to redraw what he referred to as "Israel's borders" to transfer Paleostinians out, while incorporating residents of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. He said the basis for the talks with the Paleostinians "must not be land for peace, but an exchange of land and people." Direct talks renewed in early September following the United States pressure. The process had broken off as a result of the Israeli war on the Gazoo Strip, which killed more than 1,400 Paleostinians. Israel's construction of illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied Paleostinian territories has become the thorniest issue in the negotiations. The process is threatened by the September 26 expiry of a self-proclaimed partial freeze that Tel Aviv imposed on the settlement activities in November 2009. Lieberman has already rejected the international calls for extending the moratorium. |

| #8 The Arab pipe dream of owning Jerusalem would be as frivolous as their wanting to own Madrid or Vienna... With the current state of Western Europe, that isn't too far fetched. The muzzies already have a good part of Paris, London, Amsterdam and Stockholm. |

| #7 Israel's worst problem is that it is saddled with a "Charlie Brown" attitude, famously called "wishy-washy" by his more assertive playmate Lucy Van Pelt. It is a recipe for disaster in the short, medium, and long term. Perhaps the best individual example of this is Britain's Captain William Bligh, whose mutiny aboard the HMS Bounty was caused by just such an attitude. First and foremost, Bligh wanted, truly craved, for his crew to like him. But he also wanted their respect. And he vacillated between the two unpredictably. One minute he was kind and generous, which made him feel weak, so he would then behave in a cruel and arbitrary manner, which made him feel guilty. His inconstancy drove his crew bonkers. As Israel's does to its enemies. Were Israel to just have kicked all the Muslims out in 1948, or 1967, or 1973, by now things would have been much more peaceful. The Arab pipe dream of owning Jerusalem would be as frivolous as their wanting to own Madrid or Vienna, and any idea of Arabs immigrating to Israel would be out of the question. |

| #6 Paleos are like having a "meth lab" next door. Bad neighbors and you never know when it's going to blow up. |

| #5 If Israel did 1/10 of what it accused off, we'd rule the entire Middle East long hence. |

| #2 Christian Arabs comprise less than 10% of the total number. You can not make an omelette without breaking eggs... |
