That, of course, is not what he said at all. To claim he said "kick out the Arabs" is flat-out lie.
As we can see from the article, what he actually said is that some Arabs should be stripped of their citizenship and placed under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority. He also said that boundaries could be redrawn to facilitate an exchange of territory where a Palestinian state would gain several Arab communities, and Israel would gain undeveloped land.
FM Avigdor Lieberman is a hardliner that frequently makes outrageous statements. He was appointed by Netanyahu to appease his far right constituents. But as Foreign Minister, Lieberman has no power to set policy. So he runs his mouth, and most people just ignore him.
