Shai, you probably forgot he used to work part time at Syria Comment.

Thank you for “moving the bar” with respect to the Israeli FM.

Originally you predicted NO state leader would meet with Lieberman, now you’re saying it will be “greatly reduced”.

I would say the Israeli FM has met already with the “important” countries, and more will fall in line. I find it interesting how every “hoots and howls” about some of Lieberman’s racist comments, but are OK with the Holocaust denying president of the PA, Abu Abbas.

My feeling is that if there wasn’t so much anti-semitism promoted in the Arab media and within Arab governments, I might take the few of Lieberman’s racist comments more seriously. I guess that’s how the countries that met with Lieberman already feel about the subject.

Do you allow mass demonstrations by Palestinians in Israel and occupied areas? No you do not.

Sim,

How do you know this? Did you conduct any research or are you (again) just relying on your prejudices?

Compared to the previous FM Lieberman is a more domestic FM. Livni was all the time cruising around the world. Now Lieberman’s hosts or quests are more or less embarrassed to be photographed with that political figure.

ETC

Also the amount of foreign ministers and state leaders visiting Israel has sharply been reduced under this government. Why Akbar?

Welcome back! Where were you?

Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to write a response.

As usual, I see your writings are full of misinformation, so it will take a bit of time to set you straight.

Meanwhile I’ll remind the forum that you predicted Avigdor Lieberman would never meet any other foreign diplomats.

What can I say? You were wrong again…

Akbar if we compare the two theocracy democracies Israel and Iran do you know what is the latest difference?

In Iran they can hold mass demonstrations without massive violent police interference. In Israel not especially if the demonstrators are Palestinians. On West Bank Palestinians can’t gather to mass demonstrations because of the roadblocks and in case of smaller demonstrations the area is declared as a closed military zone after IDF has managed to kill and wound some participants. Inside Israel the Israeli citizens if they are Israeli Arabs are not allowed to hold real mass demonstrations. The religious leadership of Israel always invents an excuse for blocking the embarrassing view of hundreds of thousand angry Israeli Arabs demonstrating.

No need Akbar and AIG to wave to much the Iran “flag”. If you support secular ruling, equality, democracy and non nuclear states you can’t do it honestly if you support today’s Israel.

I don’t care about you in particular but I do care about having an interesting dialog, argument, exchange (whatever you want to call it) with people that do not necessarily agree with me and that means also addressing people like you that resort to ad-hominem attacks. Attack the message, not the messenger. Those that attack the messenger just prove that they don’t have a good answer to the message.

Everyone else, let’s keep it clean.

Shai, don’t worry about it. I know what effects little children can have on one’s sanity.
