"Israel's tangled political trio sorting out election results" by Richard Boudreaux, Los Angeles Times | February 17, 2009
JERUSALEM - The three big players in Israel's leadership struggle first crossed paths in 1996, when a rising politician named Avigdor Lieberman, once a nightclub bouncer in his native Moldova, helped a former intelligence agent land her first high-level government job.
Lieberman, who was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-hand man at the time, resigned the following year and became his bitter rival. But Lieberman and the ex-spy, Tzipi Livni, then both 39, remained friends.
Today Lieberman has the power to determine almost single-handedly whether Netanyahu or Livni will become Israel's next prime minister.

Their tangled relationships in the intimate world of Israeli politics suggests that his choice is not clear-cut. Both Netanyahu, the conservative opposition leader, and the more moderate Livni, who is now foreign minister, are claiming victory in last week's national election. Both are feverishly courting Lieberman, whose ultranationalist party finished third in the voting....
Yup, it's an ULTRANATIONALIST PARTY!! Not a FASCIST PARTY or a RIGHT-WING, RACIST PARTY, or the NaZionist Party, or even the ZIONIST PARTY! That's your JEWISH BIAS at work in the AMERIKAN MSM!!!
Netanyahu is said to have offered Lieberman any Cabinet post he wants. Livni has pledged to adopt key planks of his platform. Neither is deterred by a police investigation of Lieberman for alleged money laundering....
They are ALL a BUNCH of SCUM CRIMINALS, aren't they?
That's why Iz-ray-HELL needed to be "created."
