Lieberman Compares Works by Palestinian National Poet to Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'

The defense minister admonishes Army Radio chief for a program about the poet, Mahmoud Darwish, broadcast by the station.

Gili Cohen Jul 21, 2016

Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday compared Army Radio's broadcast of a program about Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish with "glorification of the literary marvels of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf."

Lieberman, as quoted by a ministry statement from a meeting with the radio's chief, Yaron Dekel, said the station's main role was to "strengthen social solidarity and not to widen social rifts."

Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has summoned Army Radio chief Yaron Dekel over the broadcast Tuesday night about Darwish. The program was part of a series on formative Israeli texts in the station’s “University on the Air” program.

Lieberman asserted that "there is no intervention on the part of politicians in the programs broadcast on Army radio," the ministry statement said. Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit phoned Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman late Wednesday to remind him he has no authority to intervene in Army Radio’s programming.
