There has been an outcry in Israel after the foreign minister said that disloyal Israeli Arabs should have their heads chopped off.

Avigdor Lieberman was speaking at a pre-election conference on Sunday.

The leader of the right-wing nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party, an outspoken critic of Israel’s Arab population, was responding to a question from an Arab Israeli about Lieberman’s policies.

“I would like to say – whoever’s with us should get everything, as they wish, but those who are against us, there’s nothing to be done – we need to pick up an axe and cut off their heads. Otherwise we won’t survive here,” the foreign minister replied, to applause from the audience.

Would I have supported a new homeland for Jews following the atrocities of World War II? Yes. Someplace where they would not have displaced an entire people. Israel has been a foreign policy nightmare ever since.

We've known about Lieberman for a long time. He's an embarrassment to the human race.
