instead of the citizens of Israel whom he betrayed. Makes me want to puke that he's dressing this up as a moral conviction when the truth is he doesn't have the balls to condemn the disgusting behavior of his cronies. What a morally bankrupt bunch of leaches Shas is. The only thing worse is the light sentence this bastard got.

DOES HE LOOK LIKE ISMAIL HANIYEH OR WHAT?

Lets drop this story for a few seconds and look at this article http://lawinisrael.wordpress.com/ once you have read it and only when you have read it come back here. This is not a SHAS black, white im better then you problem. there is a deep problem in the system of the goverment that has the right to arrest procecute and imprision anyone that they wish, We have all heard the stories but accept them, as truth. I myself have been accused of blackmailing someone, the problem is, the following ANY SENTANCE YOU SAY CAN BE MISCONSCREWED. This means that at anytime anyone can go to the police and open a case against you, Once the case has been opened your done in, especially if you have had more then 2 "complaints" against you. The system is corrupt and the police want to show "numbers" http://www.police.gov.il/english/Crime/Trend_Analysis/xx_trends.asp Unfortunally I hate to say this but there is no cure for this, The police are far to entrenched for the goverment to shift there powers, the police like it , They arrest the bad guys (guilty or not), the prision sentances are for to short for major revenge tactics against the complainers, So all in all it hobbles along, nicely. Problem is when the goverment will start to increase the sentances people will get more desprate, and then we will have MORE violant crimes
5. He deserved a longer sentence ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.27.08)
They should have added a few years for being a member of Shas, a few more years just for being an MK, a couple years for his remarks about gays causing earthquakes, & finally, a couple extra years for what he probably did but didn't get caught. He's lucky I'm not a judge.
6. Now Eli Yishai has a clear stage - without needing charisma
Shula ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.27.08)
The two most charismatic of Shas's leading lights, both Bin-Izri and the excellent Arieh Deri have somehow been "caught". Now Eli Ishai has a clear run to the leadership despite being utterly without charisma
7. I believe him
Shalom   (04.27.08)
A shameful sentence from a shameful judicial system
8. Justice should be even handed
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.27.08)
He SHOULD be removed from the Knesset and thrown in jail. By the same rule, Arab MKs should be evicted and thrown in jail as well for their treason. FAIR IS FAIR
9. FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN!!!!
al mann ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.27.08)
How come that every number of years some one in Shas is found guilty of some crime? Does that mean that the prohibitions of the Torah apply to everyone else except the Shas party? Is that what they have learned in the yeshivas and Torah institutions? Is that what they are teaching others, those without rabbinic ordination, those who have not spent much time learning the Talmud and books of Halacha? Gevalt!!
10. to #9 The laws of the Torah are for Jews only
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.27.08)
and not sh-ass!
11. They're all innocent, "religious" or not. Sick-making.

12. Benizri
sas ,   israel   (04.28.08)
Mr. Mofaz shoud be there too. He sent our soldiers into war two summers ago totally unprepared and lied. He should be put on trial for murder and carlessness. And the man is still at home with his family and sits and does nothing in our Knesset. What an embarrassment. PM Ohlmert - WAKE UP. You have "sick" people in your cabinet and they are deciding our future and WE ARE PAYING his salary. The man is corrupt, a liar, dishonest - you name it. And you are not much bedtter - perhaps even worse.
13. Yahooooooooooooo!!!!!! GREAT NEWS!!
Talula ,   Israel   (04.28.08)
Hope he rots in there.
14. where he belongs behind bars
Simon ,   TA Israel   (04.28.08)
This low life Mr Morals himself, belongs behind bars. I hear they do a good kosher lunch so he should be all right and no problem with bread at pesach. Enjoy Mr BenIzri and when you come out you can join your fellow criminals in Shas.
15. # 6 Nice Heroes You Have There
Thomas   (04.28.08)
In 2001, Benizri was accused of racism after he said "I just don't understand why a restaurant needs a slant-eye to serve me my meal."
16. My kid was in a shas yeshiva in Jerusalem for three years..
Avrom ben E   (04.28.08)
All that while, he was hungry..He never told his mother ( I am divorced from his mother) and as a result he is shorter than he should be. All the while the walls of the Yeshiva were made of marble and the floors were marble as well. When the benefactors would fly in from LA. the kids werre given a special meal. When they were not there they were given crumbs. Ask my son today what he thinks of that bloody yeshiva and how they treated him as a kid.. Point being that when he moved on to an other Yeshiva in Jerusalem he ate like no tomorrow. And when he finally came to his senses and came back to Canada, not only does he eat, but he has become strong as a bull. He is also a pretty good boxer. What do I think of the shas gang...I dont. As far as I am concerned they are pigs and lowlifes... They starve their yeshiva boys in order to line their own pockets. They deserve to be locked up here in the USA/ CANADA where bubba and leroy would teach these shitheads a thing or two about menshlichkeit.
