however, i have to note that you have some factual errors — liberman has never called for ‘execution’ of palestinians. and although he is a nationalist, he is not opposed to a two-state solution. his idea of a two-state solution is to transfer parts of israel with large arab populations to the future palestinian state. this is the reason that the far-right nationalist parties like the National Union are opposed to liberman, too.

israeli politics is quite complex and it strikes me that much of it gets ‘lost in translation’. regardless, the bottom line is that avigdor liberman is a man accused of corruption and money-laundering, who uses cheap populism and appeals to primal instincts. and these are reasons enough to oppose him!
