My Way News - Nationalist rising fast in Israeli politics
AP reports: "Two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity so as not to appear to be meddling in Israeli affairs, said potential problems relating to Lieberman's appointment have been discussed at high levels in the Obama administration. 'There is concern Arab nations won't want to deal with him,' said one of the officials."

Comment: That's absurd. If you remember the Cold War and the U.S. diplomatic opening to China, it was said that only Nixon could go to China - only a hardline ideologue could actually be trusted to make it work. Israel needs a Nixon to make peace with the Palestinians.
