Authorities reluctant to act in most cases of crime and corruption and not many will take on responsibility Criminals rely on inert and clogged up system and manage to get away with it. This is not tenable, and many instances of crime and injustice go unpunished. Surely this is a better cause to protest than any I know. :- Survival of the Jews in their State.

he never sees the light of day again. The most corrupt PM any country has ever had, and that includes African kleptocracies. Moreover, it includes Sharon the thief- so that is saying A LOT!

One was charged with rape now another with corruption. Wake up Jews!

Guess the police were too busy chasing Hareidim to finish the case

the entire area to its pre-bribing stage...for that I'd be willing to give them a free pass right out of jail. Heck! I might even give them $200 each!

Because of the israeli bureaucracy it is impossible to get anything done without protekzia, which in modern israel includes bribes to politicians in order to get things done. The more bureaucracy in a society, the more corruption. Olmert deserves to be jailed because he was the worst pm Israel ever had, and he is a congenital liar and leftist and incompetent.

Our corrupt politicians are slowly but surely ending up in prison and for long terms also. Michael

It's wonderful that Israel is charging them and locking them up one after the other. Let that be a lesson to other politicians! There's hardly a country in the world that wouldn't sweep this under the rug!

Looking at the picture of olmert and zaken above, and the indictment handed down, the 2 kind of go together. Lawyers often say it it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it is a duck. How may indictments can be handed down on one person? And this was the man that negotiating and directing israel in national survival struggles? For t his alone, livni deserves to booted out of kadima.

I feel sorry for him, lollll. I hope justice will be served.

End this self destructing policy, if a politician finishes his office, next day sent to prison.

we should have the government examine the Jewish vakues if it is to claim Israel as the Jewish state. Then the pot can't call the kettle black. Law administration is in disarray, and the left does not know or take responsibility for what the right does. Change is mandatory if we are to have a chance of survival as a people and a state.

the man and his wife are thieves, liars, shrewed "business" people and should be behind bars a long time ago. do not feel sorry for him or anyone in his family. i know someone now that wants to get rid of 14 paintings that aliza painted and he was forced to buy......................want more details????????????????
