Still Lieberman…

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman continues to dominate the headlines due to both his controversial comments as well as an ongoing investigation into his dealings that could result in fraud and money laundering convictions.

Pro-peace American Jewish think tank Jstreet released a scathing video accusing Lieberman of racism and encouraging communities to protest the appointment. The video claims that Lieberman does not share the same values as American Jews and Israel.  Some opinion pieces slammed the Lieberman wall others expressed relief in his candor.

Lieberman also underwent a five hourinterrogation today regarding the potential fraud and money laundering indictment. Yesterday, the National Fraud unit questioned Lieberman for seven hours regarding the matter.
