PA gov’t slams Liberman’s ‘racist’ remarks

The Palestinian government issued a harsh condemnation of “the racist call to murder by the extremist Liberman, who said the heads of Palestinians should be taken off with an ax. This is a clear call for the murder of Palestinians and Arabs and an ethnic cleansing campaign.”

The announcement also said that “the Palestinian government stresses that the hate from Liberman necessitates that the international community condemn him, boycott him and try him at the International Criminal Court over his terrorist exclamations.”

The announcement comes in response to a comment by Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman who said earlier this week that Israel should “wield an ax and cut off the heads” of Israeli-Arab and Palestinian terrorists.
