Condemned Lieberman?s Knesset behavior &
teach President and Prime Minister procedure

MK Avigdor Lieberman delivered in nonparliamentary language his speech in Israel?s Knesset a democratic parliament.

His declaration / speech / remarks against the head of another Foreign Government cannot and should not be undone, despite the fact that his expressions / opinion are not shared by Israel?s Knesset members.

Israel?s President Mr. Shimon Peres and Israel?s caretaking Prime Minister Ehud Olmert should not have delivered official apologies, as the podium of Knesset allows for free speech.
Both Peres and Olmert have not acted properly, as per their function / position / responsibility, which in this case is that of the Knesset Speaker and nobody else, who should have censored MK Lieberman?s words and should have demanded / extracted from him an immediate apologies for having used foul language in the Knesset. - Peres and Olmert could have expressed their personal opinions direct to President Mubarak on their individual relation with the Egyptian President.

Now it is up to the Knesset House Committee, the speakeress and MK Avigdor Lieberman to deal with this unparliamentary form / behavior to prevent reoccurrences and MK Lieberman must be taught a lesson.
