My point is quite simple ...the emergence of Lieberman as a major player in Israel goes some way to showing how the mainstream politics of Israel have moved to the far right in recent years.

This is the man who is out to "get" the Israeli arab parties in the Knesset and the man is likely to emerge as a more central figure in Israeli politics after the election.

However,he will have to go a long way to beat the war crimes committed by the present group of child killers .

The news emerged today that Israel used a type of shell called a "fleshette" in densely packed Gaza.

I am no expert on these things but the shell is fired by a tank and consists of thousands of 4 cm sharp darts which maim and kill when the shell strikes its targets...apparently the darts scatter at speed over a large radius and one can only imagine the damage done in a street ,market or open space. They sound like a sophisticated nail bomb designed to kill and maim...and that is precisely what they did to young kids and women.

Livni and the rest of that wargang have to be held to account for their murderous acts...because it wasn't war it was barbarous crime against a civilian population which had nowhere to run to.
