Lieberman Calls for Total Separation of Jews and Arabs

Avigdor Lieberman is the newest addition to Olmert's government in Israel. Olmert brought him on board to attempt to strengthen the governing position of the Kadima Party. For those who do not know, Israel is a Parliamentary system with a President as head of State and a Prime Minister as head of government. Unlike America Israel is a multi-party political system. The government is established by a coalition of political Parties with one Party occupying the central position. In today's Israel that is the Kadima Party formed by stroke victim Ariel Sharon and currently led by Ehud Olmert.


Lieberman is from an ultra-right Party. Today IsraelInsider reports that Lieberman is calling for the total separation of Jew and Arab in the Holy Land. The implication is moving all Arab non-Jews out of Israel and all Jews out of the so-called Palestine territories (governed by Islamofascist terrorists).


The Leftists in Israel immediately condemned Lieberman for racism. However, if you go to the IsraelInsider link, you can read the realism and the weariness of Islamofascist terrorism in Israel. Lieberman comes across as harsh; nonetheless a homogeneous Jewish State can protect itself better internally and confront their enemy with extreme prejudice on the outside.


Here is the problem I have with Lieberman's proposals: How does this affect the Arab that is not Mohammedan? Or, how does it affect the maintenance of Christians who maintain Christian Holy places in the Holy Land? If Lieberman's proposal applies to this group as well he may be going too far.
