In any other era he would be hailed a philanthropist. But no...he isn't some high finance banker or a "prominent" Jewish leader. He's a Maverick in the truest sense and everyones jealous.

The government finally found the money and the will, when Gaydamak shamed them into doing so! Lieberman is finally talking of withdrawing from the Olmerta junta and Labor will probably be next ! Let's get rid of the corrupt garbage that calls itself our government - asap.

B"H I am not sure if these ministers understand the degree of political popularity Sderot enjoys. Slamming those helping Sderot is not as popular as slamming those who helped the residents of Gaza (who used to prevent this situation, with G-d's help). Times have changed. Slamming Gaydamak over this is just boosting his electability, and helping his political campaign. The goverment is providing the advertising for this fellow to get into office. It is an amazing investment that Gaydamak made. I am really impressed.

As I indicated on #20, Isaac Herzog was the one who said "People should not take advantage of the situation to weaken the government" That statement is so outrageous that along with other comments by politicians as quoted on this article should be saved for posterity. Sorry about the confusion my subject line may have caused. I absolutely agree with your opinion that people should go ahead and bring the government down.

Now that the russian business man show the incompatance of the ministers in the knesset they denouce his generosity.They know thier jobs are on the line and that they are only interested in themselves and not the good of Israel or its citizens so they show a so called united front.All they want is that thier perks are not disturbed never mind the nation.This corrupt senceless bunch of fools must now be put on the umemployment line.Sheetrit,hersog,edery and co must all be allocated work in the agricultural fields to learn to love Israel.

Cozomal, Belize, in Central America was mostly built by the personal fortune of a Portugese man. Why not let an Israeli-Russain billionaire do the same for Sderot? That is a much better idea than his plan to give billion dollars to the Palestinians if they would stop attacking Israel, which they will not do.
