Salon: Israel’s new defense minister Avigdor Lieberman is a far-right extremist who called for beheading disloyal Palestinian citizens

While serving as the foreign minister in March 2015, Lieberman declared that Palestinian citizens of Israel who are disloyal should be beheaded.

“Those who are against us, there’s nothing to be done – we need to pick up an ax and cut off his head,” Lieberman asserted at Israel’s “Voting for Democracy – 2015 Elections” conference. “Otherwise we won’t survive here.” [...]

Lieberman’s fascistic decapitation proposal led a member of Knesset, Israel’s parliament, to characterize him as the Jewish version of the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS/ISIL.

Meanwhile, major U.S. media outlets, including the New York Times, failed to report on Lieberman’s ISIS-like call. (There still appears to be no mention in the pages of the American newspaper of record.)
