Most of us regular people just scrape through the month or even never get out of overdraft while the powers that be are all deceitful and greedy

B"H No, actually it's the other way round. It is the phony peace process that corrupts.

Jerusalem always cries it is on the verge of bankcruptcy. With all the bribery, theft ,fraud and deciet from the mayor ;s office to the secretatries nothing else can be expected. Hope the Barkat makes the required changes. Why all this corruption??? Why do plans take years??Is bribery the only way to get permits?? When will the religious affairs be investigated?? How much did the tax man loose??? Finally the police are culling the criminals.

uncle thiefe cover your eyes

Uri Lupolianski is remanded for 5 days in custody & Anat Kam gets 24 hour house arrest. Go Figure.

The filth involved in recent corruption scandals didn't contibute anything to the peace process. Those politicians learned their business first hand by stealing from the Palestinians.

What happened to you?! and why is it that Mr. Olmert is still galvanting around the world?

He should apologize to Jerusalem

you are the last to meddle here.... lupoliansky, if found guilty, will pay for it... and the sum he stole is nothing in comparison, what Arafat have stolen from the Palestinians... did he ever apologize to you? and what about Haniyeh and Abbas and the rest of your government? before you clean my home, clean yours first....

Try not being a crybaby and look to yourself and religion for your failure. You may yet become a respectable human being if you are sincere and honest.

Another leftist, liberal, hopey-changey shot at the Jews!! If you want to talk corruption, "house of saud" would be a good start. Leave us Jews alone.

Thank's to all for this ugly monster

#4 - this is how the good orthodox Jew Lupolianski takes care of the poor religious young couples that need a decent place to live in Jerusalem. Well, at least nobody can blame this on the left... #14 - Oh, wait a minute, I spoke to soon! When in doubt -- scream antisemitism!!

... are the poor of Jerusalem, who need low cost decent housing. And most of them are religious, and most of those are right wing. But if it makes you feel better by whining about left wing antisemitism, go ahead. Why don't you also pull out that 60 year old cry about Ben-Gurion and Mapai?
