Yisrael Beitenu leader Avigdor Lieberman told his audience that he owes his popularity to three sources, Israel Police, Arab MK Dr. Ahmed Tibi, and Rav Ovadia Yosef. “There is no doubt that the first prize goes to the Rav” he added.
His statements were made in Russian on the Russian channel only, seeking to recoup lost votes as a result of sharp anti-Yisrael Beitenu statements released by Rav Ovadia Shlita in a motzei Shabbos drasha, telling listeners that a vote for Yisrael Beitenu Party, strengthens the Soton.
Dr. Uzi Landau, number two on the party list, confirmed that the party set its election goal at 20 seats.

Lieberman should stop trying to steal the frum and nationalist votes. Instead, he should concentrate on getting the 500,000 some odd
goyishe Russians that he helped bring into the country (some of whom are outright anti-Semites
and eve, R’L, Nazis!

Terribly disrespectful. He’ll get whats coming to him eventually.
Maybe the problem is us, the frum people. Are we making the correct statements, in the correct time & place?
He was called the Satan by Rav Ovadiah.
How do you you expect him to react? TO say oops, I am sorry and I am relinquishing my evil ways?
I am sorry but he is just returing in kind.
#4 and #3….. why dont you tell us how one should react when he is called the satan by the gadol hador… unfortunately, it doesnt seem like this man is going to have an easy time doing teshuva. but lets not question what the proper response would be.
While I disagree with him on civil marriages and kashrus the fact is that he is RIGHT when it comes to the traitors in Israel receving welfare. Netanyahu is an opportunist who gave HEBRON with our kevorim away. Shas supported Gaza being Judenrein. So who is left Meretz?

uh.. I was just pointing out that when you start to use a degenerate level of discourse, you cannot expect anything less fromt he recieving end.
I am not saying it is right or wrong that he reacted this way. But if you want to ensure civil discourse, start being civil yourself.
I cannot imagine R’ Yaakov Kamientzky or R’ Moshe or R’ Shlomo Zalman etc. etc. etc. calling a foe the ‘Satan’.
At a certain point in life one tends to get beyond name calling.
Some guys dont chap that Lieberman is a big blessing in disguise. Many Jews all over the world have a problem with visiting israel because they are the children of ex Israelis and as a result citizenship is forced on them. As a consquence they are forced to join the army or at the bearest minimum go through a bureaucratic hell as they get their citizenship. With Liebermans idea of No army no citizenship, many Jews will say Great! We can visit Israel and we wont have to be citizens cos we dont do the army!
I dont get what the chutzpah is…
You sling mud, you will ghet mud slung back at you. They have not stopped cursing this guy out in an IMMATURE way, so why should he not be able to respond?
Besides, its TRUE. Every time they are goires him, it makes him BIGGER.
Lastly, I agree with him on security issues and is pikuach nefesh not doicheh everything else? Just asking ….
