JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's foreign minister says his country should topple the Islamic Hamas regime in Gaza.

Avigdor Lieberman's comments come after two days of Palestinian rocket attacks against southern Israel, including one that killed an Israeli man. Israel has countered with airstrikes that have killed at least 10 militants. The exchanges mark the worst Israeli-Palestinian violence in months.

Lieberman told a party meeting Monday that it was unfathomable for Israel to accept a climate where every few months, Gaza militants shut down life for more than 1 million Israelis living within rocket range.

Lieberman is known for his fiery nature and harsh criticism of Palestinians. It wasn't clear whether he was expressing his own opinion or government policy.

1. What is fair, what is balanced - in expectations. Lieberman complaining about

Palestinians doing something every few months .... WHILE Israel takes more Palestinian homes and land every few months.

Where is the press for both sides. We see the stories, we hear the whines - of one side only.

Bulldozers make noise. Missiles going in both ways make noise.

Israel gets press coverage for their anger. Palestinians don't get press coverage for theirs.

Well, 107 countries came through with a positive vote for a Palestinian state.
