Lieberman is denying the Palestinians their cherished underdog status

Reader comment on item: Avigdor Lieberman's Brilliant Debut

Submitted by Mark James (United States), Apr 2, 2009 at 21:40

What Lieberman is doing is robbing the Palestinians of their underdog status by making them conform to the letter of agreements. By conceding points to them while they break agreements or give nothing in return tacitly communicates that Israel sees the Palestinians as the underdogs, and that garners them sympathy, but none for the Israelis.
