1. Israel a corrupt country ? Sure not....
Hiram ,   Kleine Scheidegg   (06.04.08)
With Olmert in the midst of an investigation, why should we worry about Hirschon being a potential, suspected con-man.....In Israel , like in the rest of the world, it takes to have steel nerves for politicians and "higher ups" to resist temptation , correct ? Religious zealots abusing children, beating their wives, politicians taking care of their own well-being before that of the people, labor leaders stealing the party's money......ah ! Those Jewish values will soon be nothing more than memories.....If everybody is individually corrupt how can we expect the country not to be ? And we want to teach lessons to others ?

16. indictments
alex   (06.04.08)
Take a look, Hirchson, Ramon, Hanegbi, Olmert-all of them have very little military record but all of them are crooks of the first order with Olmert being the worst of the lot. How does aliza rationalize being married to someone who has the blood of israelis on his head and who has ripped off donations for his personal use.Guys like olmert hide and sneak in under heroes like sharon and manipulate the system.The media also has blood on their hands for protecting olmert for the last 2 years. Olmert is not finished. He will hold on power until November and screw israel by making public the agreements with abbas and syria.Does Mazzuzz have the guts to indict or will he just drag it out and whitewash olmert just like winograd who should return their monies for a garbage report.For me, I would tear up any west bank record, scrap syrian talks, and prepare for round 2 with hezbollah using asymmetric tactics including fuel air gas and anesthetic bombs, flooding , human shields. Leader of hamas would be taken cqptive for trades. Zohar and Ahmadinjad will have to be removed.
17. state od criminals
Falastini Amriki ,   USA   (06.04.08)
israel is turning to be a state of criminals, perverts, thieves, spies, drug pushers, white slavery. What happened to the Jewish values that we are deafened about?
