Israel's Foreign Minister and leading fascist Avigdor Lieberman is doing exactly what Gideon Levy was hoping he'd do which is namely shoot off at the mouth and say things that would "lift the veil" and reveal the "nation's true face". Leiberman, speaking to a Russian daily is quoted saying "Believe me, America accepts all of our decisions".
Judging from the Harman scandal those "decisions" may be indistinguishable.
Also coming out in his interview, was a deviation from standard Israeli sabre rattling: Iran isn't Israel's "number one strategic threat" but is in fact (at least) number two. He thinks (and is probably right) that Pakistan and Afghanistan pose more danger. I would argue - and have before - that Israel's biggest strategic threats are in fact their own far right, of which Mr. Lieberman is the secular flag waver, and the unsustainability of the Occupation. Lieberman, naturally thinks otherwise.
