The rampaging racist Avigdor Lieberamn is the ugly face in the mirror in which Israel 2009 is looking. A brutal, power-mad country which killed 1300 Gazans, many of them children.

A country whose leaders brazenly refuse to make even the slightest apology for what they perpetrated, who angrily rebuff the waves of protest from all over the world.

Those who sent the planes and tanks on their murderous route, who undertook an intensive propaganda campaign in order to "explain" and justify the crimes committed, and who cynically hoped to make a handsome electoral profit from every drop of blood, cannot complain when it is somebody else who gains that profit. Why should the citizens of Israel vote for an imitation when they have the chance to send to the Knesset a true fascist and racist party?

Israel is looking into the mirror and sees Lieberman's face. It is not enough to smash the mirror – it is necessary to also change thoroughly what this mirror reflects!
