Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's party wants to ban Israeli Arabs from marking the anniversary of what they term "the Catastrophe" or Nakba, when in 1948 some 700,000 Arabs lost their homes in the war that led to the establishment of the state of Israel.
The ultranationalist Yisrael Beitenu party said it would propose legislation next week for a ban on the practice and a jail term of up to three years for violators.

Yes that a great interview, I read it when it was first published. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI want a ban on breathing for Lieberman
ReplyDeleteNeither Kadima nor Likud can afford to say what is really on their minds:that they want to cleanse the region of as many Palestinians as they can manage - most certainly those in OT,and later the even bigger nuisance of the ones who have citizenship and undermine Israel's Jewishness.But instead they can let Lieberman who does dare say these things,join the government with minimal damage to their own reputation.They can also let him use the platform provided by the a cabinet position to shape a new coarser political language in which ideas of expulsion and transfer become ever more mainstream.Until one day the policies Lieberman advocates,reflections of the values he imbibed during his long years in Likud,become acceptable enough that a prime minister Netanyahu or Lieberman himself will be able to put them in the government's programme.Instead of using words like Disengagement convergence or realignment , Israel's politicians of the near future may simply call for the expulsion of Arabs,all Arabs.
ReplyDeleteThis is like arresting the indigenous population of the USA for remembering the trail of tears, or for visiting the Wounded Knee memorial.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, they (USA indigenous population) were already persecuted for coming to Wounded Knee, in an attempt to protect themselves from murderous colonials -

"Uggh!
ReplyDeletePull, pull
Wuh! (Sung sorta like Michael Jackson)
Come on!
Uggh!
Solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list
All live, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink
Paintings of rebellion
Drawn up by the thoughts I think
Yeah!
Come on!
The militant poet in once again, check it
It's set up like a deck of cards
They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds
They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away
Get in front of it
Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?
Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone
Come on
Doesn't that make it three in a row?
Spoken quietly: "Anger is a gift"
Come on!
Uggh!
(Guitar solo)
Drop that!
Uggh!
Come on
Yeah
Uggh
Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?
Yo, check the diagonal
Three million gone
Come on
'Cause you know they're counting backwards to zero
Environment
The environment exceeding on the level
Of our unconciousness
For example
What does the billboard say?
Come and play!, come and play!
Forget about the movement
Spoken quietly: "Anger is a gift"
Yeeeaaahhhh!
Uggh!
Awww, bring that shit in!
Uggh!
Hey!
Freedom...yea...
Freedom...yea right...
Freedom...yeeeaaahhh!
Freedom!
Yeeeaaahhh!
Freedom!
Yea right!
Freedom!
Yeeeaaahhh!
Freedom!
Yea!
Right!"
