Lieberman unveils racist peace plan: Pay Palestinians to leave Israel

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Friday published an updated platform for his party, Yisrael Beiteinu, which includes a “peace plan” that calls on the government to encourage the transfer of Israeli Arabs to a Palestinian state by offering them “economic incentives.”

The platform, which may be another sign that Knesset elections are forthcoming, was published on the Yisrael Beiteinu website and reiterates declarations the foreign minister has made over the past year. The diplomatic portion of the platform, or its “peace plan,” does not include clear positions on issues such as Israel’s borders, the status of Jerusalem or settlement construction and the future of existing Israeli settlements.

The only subject that the plan addresses in detail is that of Israel’s Arab citizens. Lieberman repeated his proposal for land and population swaps between Israel and a future Palestinian state, but took it a step further by encouraging Israel to pay Arabs from Jaffa or Acre to move.

Rebecca Vilkomerson said in October that there are fascist trends in Israeli society; Max Blumenthal reported this in his book a year ago; the late Fouzi Al-Asmar reported these Israeli tendencies to the west nearly 40 years ago. Is anybody listening?

Imagine for a moment, my fellow DUers, if this plan was floated by the GOP in order to push out the First Nations, African Americans, the LGBTQ community or anybody else that they wanted to remove from America.

Would you support it?

I hope that your answer is no, but there are some racists that hide behind the Israeli flag that would.

2. No, it's only a dupe if it's the same source

What's your take on this, David? Notice you don't have comment in the other thread either.

4. I think Lieberman is an idiot

I think it's got no chance of going anywhere. I think everyone can see what bullshit this is hence no need to comment .

And I don't see anyone here on DU agreeing with this garbage from Lieberman and hence the commentary under the post is hyperbolic just itching for a comment which now you "scratched"

No need for further comment here.

And yes this is 100% superfluous, absolutely nothing further added from Azurnoir's post. Zero

DUPE

LOL you even have Daniel thinking it's not a dupe

6. Maybe you're right, it has no chance of going anywhere.

But, maybe you're wrong. I may be remembering incorrectly but didn't you believe a "Jewish State" law would also go nowhere?

Sorry Dave, but it's usually best to predict the worst, with regards to international politics - that way every surprise is a pleasant one.

5. I guess there is only enough feedback to unintentionally declare a dupe.

10. I guess false accusations work for those who use it.

Right, king?

[King_David]

12. Maybe I could agree with you if I had any idea at all what you were talking about ?

Huh ?

8. This is nothing new

from Lieberman. he has pushed this horrible idea for years and years. That and his 'loyalty oath' from non jews who are citizens of israel.

[oberliner]

11. Have African Americans or the LGBTQ community called for the creation of their own independent state?

Have you heard the term "Palestinian citizen of Israel" before?

Your comparisons are preposterous

[King_David]

13. Preposterous indeed ,

As well as nonsensical.
