The Israeli public, at least its electorate, has elevated Lieberman to the status he currently holds. They are responsible. It is not exactly a secret that he is a fascist. Why put the blame on right-wing Likud? What is the difference bet. Likud and Labor? It's not Likud was leading the nation in support of the massacres in Gaza. According to the polls 85% of the people were behind the massacres, the slicing and dicing of Palestinian children with the newest and best weapons from the US. Let's put the blame where it belongs. Those who do not speak out, and act, in resistance to oppression are just as responsible as those who carry out the oppression. Chas Freeman is wrong.
