1. Sha-ss criminals turn out
Avi ,   israel   (09.01.09)
What a joke , now they can be proud of 7 Shas members so far convicted of serious offenses. incase they havent heard there is a system of law in this country which like everyone else they are obligated to uphold. They preach their so called morals while commiting criminal acts and then in true Sh-ass style they attack the justice system and claim they are victims. Naturally not a word from his holliness Ayatolla Yusuf and Eli Yishai on the serious crimes Benizri commited which was proven beyond all reasnable doubt in a court of law. Soul searching? Nah dont think so , we are to busy dancing the night away to Maddona ! as if anyone cares about this low life petty criminal.
2. prison

You commit a cdime -you sit the time.. Unfortunately Israeli politicians continue with th corruption .Until Israel alters the system of electing our leaders this way of thievery will remain the main sourse of income for the politician.At the present the politicians are daily continueing with the ugly corruption.
3. can't
sas ,   israel   (09.01.09)
wait to see ohlmert behind bars too.
4. Soul searching.LOL!
hs ,   cph   (09.01.09)
"This should be a day of soul searching for the judicial system," said MK Azoulay. Perhaps the time has come for Israeli politicians -- and those who voted for them -- to do some soul searching…
5. That's what happens in a country
Shalom   (09.01.09)
where there's no justice. How can there be justice from the Mafia who elected themselves as the High Court in a so-called “democratic” country and wouldn't allow anyone to join their click if they do not have THEIR credentials that includes being cruel, heartless, barbaric and satanic? The initial qualification to join this Mafia is to love Arabs and hate religious Jews. As you all have already noticed that only rightist and religious Jews are imprisoned for bribery. Olmert, the most corrupt politician there ever was, is not behind bars because he's one of "theirs". Don't hold your breath, with this Sodomite Court Israel merited to have, because he will never be behind bars. And if you still don’t believe the lawlessness and corruption of this court system see this article: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/133133
6. LOL "just because his last name is Benizri"

7. Benizri - SHUT UP and pay for your MANY sins!
(09.01.09)
...and corruption is NOT the only one. Let's reveal some more: 1. Incitement againts the law authorities. 2. Incitement against the press 3. Racist incitement 4. Lying 5. Libel I think 4 years are actually NOT enough punishment for these sins.

11. Response to Willie Thornton (#8)
Moshe ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.01.09)
Clearly, you haven't the slightest clue as to what that statement from Jefferson actually means. (Hint: You could probably get arrested for saying it in Israel [or any other country that deifies the "Rule of Law"].)
12. IF THEY CONVERTED TO MUSLIM, THEY WOULD BE SET FREE TO SHOW
............DACON9   (09.01.09)

Yosi ,   Israel   (09.01.09)

14. Shalom , by supporting this Benizri
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.01.09)
You only show that you are the same kind of guy , corrupt , thieve and hatefull . Sad that some of his supporters also showed their support . All those guys the same corrupt ones , who can only deceive Israelis by making them believe thatr they are religious . True religious people are NOT corrupt
15. Ministers in prison.....
Abir ,   Chicago, IL   (09.01.09)
At this rate we might begin to have cabinet sessions held within the prison walls, and who knows......perhaps even Knesset sessions mirght be held in prison.
16. hirshson and olmert
marcel   (09.02.09)
Hirshson understands the verdict and has quietly accepted life and proceeded to jail. The prisoners in that jail have been involved with crimes associated with drug abuse. We are talking about smokers of pot and cocaine, narcotic and intravenous heroin, morphine and synthetic narcotic uses and other drugs including alcohol. Olmert will be going to jail like hirshson no matter how good his defense because hashem commands it as he knows olmert is a crook, tried to give away the land of israel and came close to it, and did not do proper idf combat. Ehud needs to know that some male prisoners get raped in jail, and some turn to drugs and violence. All of the olmert fans from verter, marcus, barnea, benn, ramon, marcus will be there to visit you. Livni will not be there even one second as she could never stand you. Ehud, welcome to your future.
17. Jail Sentence is illegal.
The Archives ,   Kuala Lumpur, Msia   (09.02.09)
First, why did the strongman in Knesset wanted Hirchson and Benizri jailed? 1) Because most members in Knesset is pissed off having to fork out a percentage of their income for the welfare of Israel whom they regard as low class when it is these people that has preserved Israel. 2) With the imprisonment of Hirchson and Benizri, they can revoke and retract back back their welfare portion of their salary. The high court failed to investigate where the money ended when it is used for the welfare of the people of Israel at the very time when the Knesset has refused every avenue to release government funds for any welfare program proposed by Benizri who had to resort to accepting bribes to feed the people of Israel at the time. In light of this evidence, the jail sentence upon Benizri and Hirchson is deemed inappropriate and void. Minister Hirchson and Benizri must be released at once otherwise Israel be considered as the most morally corrupt nation.
18. ministers in jail
