2. Wealthy Barak couldn't afford a legal maid?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (10.18.10)
As if Barak hasn't provided enough reason to demand his resignation ... And shouldn't anyone working in the Minister's household have to undergo a background check? Heck, the two Israeli physicists about to be awarded the US Science Medal of Honor are undergoing checks by the FBI because they'll be standing before the President.
3. Here in Montreal, Jewish families cant cook
Al   (10.18.10)
clean, take care of their kids, their parents, wash the toilet or scratch their ass were it not for the philipinas. Thats the sorry state of the Jewish family today in the golus. If the Israeli families go down that road, it will be your undoing.

Firstly: Barak is the ultimate example of politician who constantly prostitutes the principles of whichever party he is aligned to while preserving his power-base shoring up his super ego. It still strikes me as absurd, even obscene, that the leader of the Labor party, the Workers party, founded by Kibbutnikim and intellectual thinkers, based on the principles of socialism and equality, should be run by one of the wealthiest people in the country! Secondly: Does anyone mean to tell me that the background of someone who works in the intimate environment of the defense minister of the state of Israel has not been checked 7 times7 by the secret service? That they don't know her whereabouts 24 hours a day, and for that matter, her entire family? Is this yet another "fadicha" by the guys who gave us secretaries that leak state secrets or guards that steal from the safes that they are guarding and body guards that get so drunk they don't know the difference between "yes" and "no"? These guys really must get their act into gear! Surely Mrs Ehud would be advised that to hire this woman, if indeed she is an illegal, was against the law that her husband claims to strive to uphold every living second of his life. Israel is the best country in the world, the best bank manager, the best health service, the best roads and the boys and men in the armed service are beyond compare; sometimes though the most important things let us down through incompetence and politics!
7. So for the sake of the Illegal maid not for God's Sake ,
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.18.10)
barak was against the deportation of foreign worker's !!!!!!!!!!!
8. Wow, someone is definitely out to get her.
noa ,   israel   (10.18.10)
9. Israeli polticos above the law, yet again
adam eliyahu   (10.18.10)
When Rabin's wife was caught with an illegal foreign bank account, the law got changed. When Peres illegally met with Arafat, with no government sanction or any right to do so, the law was changed. Arab kenesset members don't follow the law at all, travelling to enemy countries (like Yossi Beilin). Galant broke the law, stealing land to build his house. It is a tradition dating back to Ben Gurion and Kastner.
10. Salma!
zznhl   (10.18.10)
He should have hired a Palestinian, at least he could get some olive oil for free.
11. It is far more likely a disgruntled illegal would lie
Rivkah   (10.18.10)
than the wife of a defense minister. She should have hired a Russian immigrant maid.
12. salma no 7
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.18.10)

13. #12 David , Don't Believe Everything You Hear!
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.18.10)
take care of our Beloved Haifa....OKAY David first class terrorist settler with no shame. get used to it.
14. To #12 salmon, you take care of
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.18.10)

15. Ahh

So you live in Lebanon? Maybe? When the Hizbo's start the next war and we finally get rid of them, maybe then you'll realize that the only way you have been able to express yourself freely without getting a knock at your door at three in the morning is by petty bloggs in an Israeli newspaper. How does this actually better your peoples lot?
