Lieberman: "No volem ser la Txecoslovàquia del 2010"
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman met with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos on Sunday, telling them not to meddle in Israel's affairs.
"It seems like all of the international community's failures in solving international crises have been translated into an attempt to make up for the failures through an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians in one year," Lieberman said. "I am speaking about failures to solve the conflicts in Somalia, Afghanistan, North Korea, Zimbabwe and Sudan, and more."
"Instead of speaking with the Arab League and preparing for what will happen after the referendum in Sudan or to talk to the Arab League about the volatile situation expected in Iraq in 2012, the international community is rolling a steamroller of pressure on Israel," Lieberman explained. "Instead of calming, the steamroller will bring the opposite, an explosion, just like there was in 2000 after the meeting between [Defense Minister Ehud] Barak and Arafat."
"I don't expect you to solve all the problems in the world, but I do expect you to solve problems in Europe before you come here to teach us how to solve our problems. After you solve problems in Caucasus, Cyprus, the conflicts in Serbia and Kosova - come to us. Then I will be willing to accept your advice."
"In the year 1938, the European community tried to appease Hitler, instead of supporting its ally Czechoslovakia. Europe sacrificed Czechoslovakia, but did not gain anything from it," Lieberman said.
"We do not intend to be the Czechoslovakia of 2010. We will stand up for Israel's interests."
