From Ynet: Avigdor Lieberman lashes out at illegal construction... by Arabs.
Lieberman said there are currently 100,000 illegal structures in Israel. "This is not an improvisation," he said. "This is a well-aimed operation – in its geographical spread, its funding, and its legal defense system – to conquer national land."
Without saying the word 'Arab' but appearing to hint at this sector, Lieberman added that the illegal construction was a challenge to Zionism.
"This challenge goes well beyond illegal construction: This is a blatant attempt to construct an enclave which, based on precedents created in the international arena, will enable the division and dismantlement of the state of Israel," he said.
At one time 5 million Jews lived in the Pale of Settlement: a restricted area in portions of what is now Lithuania, Russia, and Poland. And there were sharp restrictions on land ownership and their use of land. Thus they lived in shtetls, small towns. When Herzl met the Russian minister Plehve at the turn of the century, they spoke of the ways that Jewish economic ways threatened the Russians.
It seems like now that we have power, Jews in Israel need to recapitulate a lot of the phases of Jewish history, the persecution chapters, but with the Palestinians playing the victim role.
Ah, I see Lieberman is taking the Witty approach — take a nonviolent action that, as long as it’s being undertaken by someone who isn’t a Jewish Zionist, can be labeled as an “attack,” or at least a “deliberate provocation.” They built homes on this land generations ago? They declared war on Israel!

MY COMMENT: Actually, the word that seems to be in vogue with Lieberman and company is “incitement” (not to be confused with ‘insight-ment’).
This is well worth a repeat from a previous post, just exactly what is going on when these Zionist asses say “illegal” inside of Israel? It is one of the best treatments explaining the dishonest activity of claiming that Palestinians building homes is somehow “illegal,” written in easy to read fashion (so you get a good grasp of what is taking place) by Jonathan Cook –

I feel enormous sympathy for the Moldovan bouncer immigrant when he complains to Ynet link to ynetnews.com
“Instead of traveling for an hour and a half, I had to make a detour that took two and a half hours. The fact that we have deteriorated to this is unhealthy. There is no way that in England or in France a minister cannot travel on all roads.”
There is no way that we’d have a minister like this little shit in England or France.
What’s happening? Are Palestinian Israeli citizens building their ‘illegal’ houses across main roads?
Or is he just scared of certain areas? Rough justice, when this little shit has to take something like the same time it takes to get from Jerusalem to Bethlehem now.
To add irony to insult to injury (and I’ve posted this before but it bears repeating for relevancy):

There is also a sample video from the original exhibit.
Very powerful.

This Kafkaesque policy is unconscionable. Truly Arabs are the niggers of Israel, with the Mizrahi close behind. Israel is as racist as it can be.
I have puzzled over what hold Israel has on the rest of the world. It must be something very strong, because it is not just the charms of Peres, Netanyahu, Livni, etc, that glues it all together. It is not sympathy for the Holocaust, either, because that was not unique to one tribe, and happened before most of us were even born.
The one thing I always come down to is the Samson Option.

Israel has at least 200 nuclear weapons, and nobody knows where they are.
You could find 200 cities in the US and Europe, (and perhaps even Russia and China) to have a very good blackmail plan.
If Israel nuked Peoria, for instance, would the US retaliate immediately, or hesitate?
(Almost certainly, they would blame Islamic terrorists).
You cannot just take a small suitcase with a nuclear bomb, anywhere. These are still big things, that have to be transported, inserted, and maintained regularly.
The basements of embassies and consulates are perfect for this purpose.
Here’s the history of the origin and nature of USA vetoes of UN resolutions against Israel’s policies up to 1993–including vetoes in support of official USA policy:

Maybe somebody here can bring this history up to date?
Sadly, Lieberman has his fans on Europe’s far right:

Scott McConnell needs to exlain to these folks what it’s like to get neoconned and neoconned again.
European citizens, by and large, I suspect will take a second look at far right politicians as they descend further down the road to Weimar. Memories of where the far right took Europe during the World Wars isn’t that short by a long shot.

MY COMMENT: Let’s not assume that the MSM in Europe will allow Europeans to “take a second look at far right politicians”. Rupert Murdoch, Haim Saban, Silvio Berlusconi and other über-right-wingers are buying more and more European media outlets.
