Lieberman has been in government before. He served twice under Sharon, but was sacked for his "population swap" ideas and for opposing the disengagement from Gaza. The fact that Sharon's successor has brought him back, this time as a deputy prime minister, shows how far to the right Israel's policy makers have moved, even as progressive Israelis feel increasingly sickened by the musical chairs at the top. Recent corruption and sex scandals had already tarnished the image of the political class.

This is so hypocritically...The reaction of the Israeli government when Jörg Heider ,a well known racist,was elected in the Austrian government in 2000,was to recalled its ambassador from Austria....Of course this didn't stop Olmert to call on Lieberman to join the government...
