israell has to be very careful not to charge officials with petty stuff. In Olmert's case, he repeatedly stole from charities or influenced cash transers and awarded favours. He used his offices for these purposes.
In liberman's case, has the state been harmed by whatever he is alleged to have done? I cannot recall a foreign minister who stood up for himself and israel more than him. Look at the others-barak outside of defense is bliind; livni thinks the lebaonon and gaza resoltuions were good, showing her to absolute idiot. her association and agreement with olmert to concede in the face of nothing stains her and she cannot ever be PM again unless she disowns olmert completely as he was a rank coward. Peres is a daydreamer. Belilin is ok as a professor; inthe real world, he is another olmert coward, ben ami is the same. Meir had some teeth, likewise shamir, dayan was bold, eban was great rhetorically without sufficient steel. Its hard to teach toughness. Martial trainning helps. That is why I recommend all israeli youth, haredi, rabbis to do martial arts- No more begging.
The charges against lieberman better be good as he is too important to take down. He is the best man israel has right now and he worries the arabs more than a division of soldiers. israeli are also tired of olmerts, livnis, beilins even in return for some peace. They want real treaties.
