JERUSALEM- Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has taken actions to ensure his reception of the “Biggest Douche in the Middle East” title. In an effort to take a lead over reigning champion, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who recently blamed America and the Jews for the death of a puppy that he ate, Mr. Lieberman responded to Syrian allegations that Israel was “not serious about achieving peace.” In a speech at Bar-Ilan University near Tel-Aviv, Mr. Lieberman was quoted with saying “Hell yeah we want war! We’re gonna kick some serious Syrian ass! Also, yo mamma so fat, Mount Sinai saw her and said ‘DAAAAAAAAM.’” He then went on to threaten the family of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
Former Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz described Mr. Lieberman’s statements as “irresponsible” (Mr. Mofaz is famously competing in the “Biggest Understatement of the Year” competition). Other Israeli officials, including current Defense Minister Ehud Barak, have expressed discomfort with Mr. Lieberman’s statements as well.
Mr. Lieberman, however, has chosen to remain in his own deluded world he makes the rules, one of the more prominent requirements of the “Biggest Douche” title. He issued further statements against Syria, saying that Syria had made a “direct threat” to Israel that “crossed a line.”
“And no,” he said, “before you ask, I was not being threatening at all when I said ‘In the next war, not only will you lose, you and your family will lose the regime. Neither you will remain in power, nor the Assad family.’ Not threatening at all.”
When asked about Mr. Lieberman’s statements, Prime Minister Netanyahu said “Yeah… I should probably tell him to shut up…” When questioned about the douche competition, Mr. Netanyahu said Lieberman had his “full support.” “Lieberman may not be the biggest douchebag in the Middle East, but he’s gotta be in at least the top five.”
