Demonstrators affiliated with the youth faction of the left-wing Meretz Party on Monday protested outside the Herzliya Conference as Yisrael Beitenu chairman Avigdor Lieberman addressed the forum.
�
The demonstrators carried signs with the images of Yoerg Haider of Austria and John Marie La-Pen of France, right-wing fascist extremists, comparing Lieberman to them.
�
A leader of the group, Uri Zaki, expressed �sorrow� that the Herzliya Conference gives legitimacy and a forum to such a person. �We hope the Israeli voters will not make the mistake and vote for him, a racist.�
