Olmert and Abu Mazen are stooges. I do not understand the hype against Lieberman. Seems to me he is the only honest politician. There is a violent and implacable dispute between Jews and Arabs for over 100 years. We are finally agreeing to divide the land (neither side happily), then arabs should be happy to be (with their villages) in the arab "democratic" state to give full expression to their identity and Jews should be in their state. No reason the Arab state should be judenrein and the Jewish one should have a large disgruntled arab minority claiming discrimination and rejecing the Jews right to a national homeland. Screaming "Racism" is an intellectually dishonest bogeyman used to stop legitimate debate of a historical dispute between two peoples. Meron in his liberal fantasyland (one sided, not for Jews in Judea/Samaria) will bring tragedy on both the Arabs and Jews. Its time for rational voices like Lieberman to be heard
