A New Road for Israel - Avigdor Lieberman
To the Editor:
Re “The Wrong Partner in Israel” (editorial, Oct. 25), about my party, Israel Beiteinu, which has been invited into the governing coalition:
Your editorial got it wrong.
The declared missions of Hamas and Hezbollah are ...to eradicate all Jews from Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem, and until they achieve that goal, they will not lay down their arms. The Middle East peace process has failed miserably, and trying to breathe new life into an already defunct process is not the way to go.
Israel needs a new direction. I suggest that we redefine our goals and focus on bringing security and stability to the Middle East instead of setting our sights on an unrealistic, unattainable fantasy.
After the terror attacks of 9/11, Madrid in 2004, London in 2005..., the world knows better. Thirteen years is long enough to determine that the peace process has failed.
Avigdor Lieberman
Minister of Strategic Affairs
Jerusalem, Oct. 30, 2006
