Filthy dirty liar should be locked up for 30 years plus. Just another low-life parading around as a religious man to get closer to state funds. Does it ever end with them? Have they absolutely NO boundaries? Do they have no cut-off level as to how low they allow themselves to stoop? Apparently not. They seem to enjoy stealing from the State of Israel. Religious? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

But surely God provides everything why would such a religious man need such large sums of money? Here we have the true face of Shas a bunch of criminals posing as religious men, preaching "i am hollier than thou" while committing criminal acts. Although it must be said he is amongst friends in Shas, which now includes 7 convicted criminals all of which have been found guilty for various financial crimes. Through out his trial MK Hugi has behaved as if the only authority that he recognizes is Ovadia Yosef. No doubt he will claim hes a victim because he is religious and sphardi . Where is his Royal holiness Ovadia Yosef and Eli Yishai in condemning such acts from a member of their party? Some example these people are of the religious life style. Shas might not have taken Jerusalem but ive heard they are quite a force in Israels prisons.

Shas and the other religious parties have cause immensed harm to the reputayion of Judaism in the Israeli public.

As we all know Shas Mks cant actually think or make decisions for themselves and take their direct orders from the master criminal himself, Ovadia Yosef, He should also be on trial as he is head of this criminal organization, which masks its self in religion. Im think the food in prison is strictly kosher!

Huge hilul Hashem. No wonder hilonim have a twisted image of religion

Just look back at the last week's news. One week is FULL of liars, thieves, and threats to stamp out the seculars....and they are all religious. Doesn't look very good from where I'm sitting.

I agree with you that this parasite got off easy, however, remember, we have plenty of secular crooks as well. We should be happy that the state finally put a corrupt politician in jail and work hard towards making actions such as these by our courts continue, no matter what a person's religious views are.

when i talk about two men , that i wrote about all the Lubavitch . Your double s capitals are'nt very nice , reminds of a bad time . You see i too can distord , or wrongly interpret . But here i did it knowingly to show you that you were wrong

Yes, there is ABSOLUTELY secular crooks and thieves and rapists and liars and it doesn't make any crime committed by them better because they are secular. But these people don’t believe in God. They don’t pray to him countless times a day – they don’t quote his holy book to others and force other’s to live as they live. However, the point here, is this: A religious person is well cognizant in Torah and knows the difference between right and wrong. Lying, cheating, stealing, beating up your wife, molesting and sexual abusing young children and judging others are not listed in the Torah as a preferred way of life. So, the question is, how and why do these miscreants of society, knowing that it’s WRONG, continue on their merry path of stealing, lying, cheating, sexually abusing young children and countless other vile crimes while preaching to others how to live? Do they run a lawless society because they can repent for it all on Yom Kippur? Ready to start afresh the day after? They are repugnant people - I have zero respect for them.

and if we had real police here,then there would be more politicians in jail than free. Too bad we do not have a chain gang here for these criminals.

Greedy lawyers knew they stood no chance on appeal, but did not mind taking extra funds

Sure this guy is a crook, but your reaction to anything that condemns the religi0us is repugnant. You really do have mental problems spewing out such hate against fellow Jews. It seems like you have taken too much Datura, which will bring on aggressiveness through paranoid delusions. And NO, i am not religious, but i refuse to ignorantly categorize them all because of a few bad seeds! The crimes of the religious are small compared to that of the seculars, but you wont bash them. Stop your hate of our fellow jews. Stop acting like a typical leftist KAdima MK!

The difference is , is that these people don a black kippah, grow a beard claim to be better than everyone else, preaching " i am hollier than thou" judge and slander others in the name of God and yet at the same time committing serious crimes. They bring disrespect upon Judaism - and desecrate God's name - by sending to the Knesset those who end up in jail for flaunting the very laws of the Torah they pretend to represent. in my book that really is the lowest of the lowest!

Finally the courts are doing the correct actions They were to lenient and did not sentence against Shas the recievers of most of the money obtained by fraud.Perhaps the next case will be more reliable and eradicate this vermon from our midst.

than a non-religious person in courts. That is certainly what happens in America where there are so many atheist and homosexual judges who hate God, the Bible and all that stands for. Sadly, the Prophet Ezekiel saw this long ago in visions from the Lord about God's judgment that will affect the whole earth will start in the sanctuary of the Lord. The religios Judeo-Christian communities will be attacked and slaughtered first. That is what happened in Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Darfur, and many other places in the world. So many churches were burned down in Indonesia, a tsunami slayed 230,000 people in judgment of attacks on Judeo-Christian sanctuaries. There are some sad verses about Jerusalem and the six angels who are assigned by the Lord to slay many people there AFTER the servants of the Lord are sealed in their foreheads. This is not the economic mark of the beast in the hand or forehead with a microchip. This is what Ezekiel calls a seal from the inkhorn of an angel who marks the foreheads of the just to protect them from the judgment that will come in Jerusalem and later the whole world. Pray to be among the few who are protected by God. I don't think many judges who are unjust will be among those who are protected by God since they showed no mercy to God's people and God shows no mercy to those who have shown no mercy.

Wow - you are so utterly perfect - I really should try and be just like you. But instead of the insults - try answering my questions first. Namely, why DO religious people, lie, cheat, steal and molest young children? I didn't make it up, it's in the news.

millions

It just makes me want to hurl. Preferebly all over their leader in his gold leaf Sgt. Pepper clown costume and his Hassan Nasrallah hat. Seriously, a little make-up and that guy could be in a Ringling Bros. side show. And how they flock to him to kiss his hand. Yuck!!! Kasher, aval masriach!

"Homosexual judges in America, who hate the God?" First of all yes gays are in all walks of life and in every proffession. Just because someone is gay dosent mean they hate God> I have never heard of anything so ridiculous, ignorant, hatefull and ill informed as your comments. It seems the only one with "hatred" in her heart is you my dear and your warped sense of morality. What arrogance you show thinking you are better than others. So quote all the bible verses all you like its not going to help this low life criminal from Shas. Civil judges are not on trial for their so called religious beliefs who is on trial here is a religious SHAS MK "Ofer Hugi" while preaching "i am hollier than thou" and telling others how to live their lives , quoting from the bible and is committing serious offenses, how strange that MK Hugi is flaunting the very laws of the Torah he pretends to represent. please show us the quote in the bible that says " be a religious man and embezzles $ 470,000 of hard earned tax payers money, and making false claims? Is this an example of a righteous man? Seems he got a bit mixed up with the 10 commandments! still 9 out of 10 aint bad. He should rot in Jail where he belongs, and we will make sure he stays there!

the children of the devil. Only God and the angels know for certain who is truly a religious believer and who is not. There are many wolves who wear sheep's clothing to get access to the flock. But God understands your concern and Ezekiel the Prophet in the Bible says judgment will begin at the sanctuary. God is going to hold people who are religious more accountable than others, so God's judgment begins at the sanctuary. The people who fled to Judeo-Christian sanctuaries (temples, churches) are being slaughtered there in Rwanda, Darfur, Indonesia, and many other places in the world. Remember that 12 million Christians were slaughtered in death camps in Nazi Germany, as well as 6 million Jews. If God's people sin, there is severe judgment. If God's people turn from their sins, God will even heal the land He will be so pleased. But for God's people to have abortions and molest children and lie and cheat and steal is so offensive to God, HE LEAVES THAT PLACE or BUILDING or AREA. What is a temple or church without God there to bless and sanctify it? Being religious does not make a person perfect since the carnal human nature is still in the person. But God judges people who misuse His authority more harshly than people who don't. There is a worse place in hell for religious UNbelievers than for atheists.

He defrauded the treasury to receive money - he should be forced to return it all.
