1. In the past
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.24.11)
In the past such an accusation would spark outrage for three reasons: the accusation is false, other politicians are worse and because Kadima is cesspool of corruption. But ever since Netanyahu betrayed the Likud and became Barak's slave, things have changed. to Zippy we say, go for the jugular. to Bibi we say, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy, go ask Ehud or Dan to help you.
2. This news shows
Chaim   (03.24.11)
that politicians have only themselves and the chair in mind and have no concern about the public. Instead of agonizing about the constant attacks and massacres from Arab terrorists, Kadima worries about indicting Bibi about some dumb expenses. Who cares about this right now when we get daily dosages of terrorist attacks and suicide bombings?
3. Kadima crooks shouldn't point fingers.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (03.24.11)
For a party having so many crooks & opportunists, many already convicted of corruption, Kadima is the last of our crappy political parties to call for investigations. Here you have those who would sacrifice every national security issue out of their greed for power. With all that is happening now in our region, is this the time to undermine our PM? For all his faults, Netanyahu is by far better suited to lead than Tzippi Livni & Kadima. Aren't things bad enough with Netanyahu & his side-kick Ehud Barak? Do we need a loser like Livni?
4. DRY CLEANING CAUSES OFFENCE?
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.24.11)
Do people expect the Prime Minister and his family to represent his country looking like a tramp in dirty clothes.This witch hunt is bullshit.
5. I guess Sara saves the dry cleaning for trips.
Moshe ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.24.11)
Takes it all with her to put on the "donors'" tabs. I'd also like to see the hotel room mini-bar bill.
6. KadimaCrats
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (03.24.11)
Same song. sund by same old leftist polititurds, aching to be in charge but without a rational gameplan. Weeping Kadimacrats wishing for a "shanda". ANY "Shanda" will do. Timing sucks and the pattern and practice are shallow and badly timed. Amatures. Who do you think you are American Democrats?
7. Nice rack.
seadog1946 ,   ArthurKill, NJ   (03.24.11)
8. Stop the nonsence
JEW1 ,   ASH & IL   (03.24.11)
If a businessman wants to sponcer his private trips and money is not spent from any public account, why anyone should ever bother about such a nonsence??? Don't you have any better things to deal with? Country is going through such a bad time and all these leaders are doing is pulling each others leg.
9. Desperate Kadima - only shows their main 'concrens'
AB ,   TheRock   (03.24.11)
are not the Nation. Now's the time to bring a subject like this up? You're actually lowering your chances of getting to power this way. Shame on you Kadima.
10. Probe Kadima and Tzipi Livni
Yonatan Frimer ,   Tzfat, Israel   (03.24.11)
The opposition is clearly trying to smear the PM in an attempt to gain a few political points. This is SO LOW of them to do and Bibi has enough to worry about with revolutions, rockets and bombs. Kadima should be investigated, as they clearly have enough time to deal with such nonsense and should turn their efforts inwards.
11. -_-
shawn ross ,   rapid city USA   (03.24.11)
Kadima = twit
12. MEAN ,MALICIOUS ,NASTY PEOPLE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.24.11)
When the middle east is imploding , people have no more pressing concerns than the Prime Minister having a few suits cleaned and travelling on flights. Prime Minister Netanyahu does not need to be undermined . Or maybe people expect him and his family to live in a cardboard box and walk everywhere wearing rags ??
13. SO IF I AM OFFERED A FREE FLIGHT
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.24.11)
From a friend or supporter and I accept ,or a free meal ,that makes me a criminal ?? what is this utter nonsense and where does it come from ?
14. KATSAV AND 45 ,000 SHEKELS
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.24.11)
Apparently ,even when ex-president Katsav goes to prison , he will still receive 45,000 shekels each month . And people are worried about Mr. Netanyahu having his clothes dry -cleaned ? You couldn't make it up.
15. Those were the same accusations made few years ago
Ari ,   Romania Israel   (03.24.11)
they proved to be false and malicious. It is a shame that YNET let themselves to slanders like this. Shame on Chanel 10 and Shame on on both Kadima and YNET. I REPEAT IS THE SAME BULSHIT SPRED A FEW YEARS AGO TO DESCREDIT NATANIAHU, WHICH WAS PROVED TO BE FALSE. To go and talk in the benefit of Israel without expending Israeli funds is good. This was not the case of Olmert.
16. Double standards
Raphael ,   Netanya   (03.24.11)
I would advise Netanyahu to turn himself into a leftist antisemitic NGO, so nobody could investigate his funding sources, as Knesset decided this is undemocratic.
17. Geezzz...
AJ - Raalte   (03.24.11)
Jealous much, Tsippy???
18. Kadima is a pain in the ass.
Yossi ,   Israel   (03.24.11)
Kadima is a pain in the ass. This was investigated in the period fof the previous AG and was found baseless. They better investigate their own incl. Schhori.
19. Unless it is rape or murder . . .
noa ,   israel   (03.24.11)
we need to make a law that allows prime ministers to do their job. If they must be tried, then so be, after they have finished their terms. I am not pro-Netanyhou at all, but this simply smacks of vendetta. Politicans have to stop using it as a tactic in order to control politics.
20. Probe Kadima support to Arab terror
Frank ,   Canada   (03.24.11)
21. is he going to wear a kippah, like most crooks
jo   (03.24.11)
while in prison? It's a disgrace for the govt and the people of Israel to have to pay a felon, a criminal, 45.000.00 shekel monthly..I am sure that this flagrant rip-off has been written into law in order to cover their asses when caught. I'll bet that many citizens would be grateful if given the opportunity of being incarcerated for a year, receiving a check for 540.000.00 shekel, plus food and lodging. Now you know why politicians are despised and held in such low esteem.
22. Last month 4 Kadima members travelled to J-sreet
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (03.24.11)
conference, all expences paid.
23. Kadima and press are pathetic
Mark ,   Maale Adumim   (03.24.11)
When they have nothing bad to about Netanyahu - they must dig up. Nanny, housekeeper, FBI agent - any scrap of potential dirt will do. Israel is under rocket and mortar fire, 2 deadly terror attack in the last couple of weeks. If he's guilty of corruption - he must be investigated. OK, file complaint with the police. Unforunately (for them) Netanyahu probably is not a thief (as Olmert), so the only choice of the pathetic - slander.
24. WooooW : )
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.24.11)
Would BiBi join Katsav? Let's all say with one voice......AMEEEEEN .
25. kadima can't win
nadav ,   tel aviv   (03.24.11)
so they want to tarnish the PM, who has done more in 1 year of service to his country than the labour party and Kadima has in the last 10 years! SHAME on Kadima! Olmert bismirched Kadima beyond repair- stop trying to cover that up by attacking Likud!
26. #10: Have a good look at how many Likud or Ex Likud .....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.24.11)
Members are in jail! Don't forget Olmert was a LIKUDNIK, Avraham Hirchson (now in jail) was also a LIKUDNIK, and so were others for fiddle the Knesset vote for example. Jacke Matza was also a Likud appointee so please........ Also the Likud has the distinction of having a past Minister and then President, Moshe Katzav, to be convicted of RAPE! People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and you seem to also have forgotten the shenanigansz in the previous Netanyahu term of office! Actually, Linvi was also a Likudnik!
27. Drucker, channel 10 supposed to be political
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (03.24.11)
journalist, is just a cheap gossiper. When I see him, I automatically swich to another channel.
28. oh 4 goodness sakes...like we don't know bibi...
(03.24.11)
he started out not paying for his restaurant bills in Jerusalem and he continued with getting all kinds of free services. Bibi is a freeloader and scofflaw! and he's our prime minister so what does that mean? It means that this is a kleptocracy! what else is new?
29. Hate to burst your bubble
Ralph levy ,   USA   (03.24.11)
If this was between terms and no state property was being used no law is being broken. This is done all the time in us. Perhaps kadima should be investgated for it's foreign goverment supporters if they have any? This sounds like a desperate attempt by the US goverment and kadima to force bibi on concessions or out of office
30. #22
John cone ,   Usa   (03.24.11)
Now that is against the law at least in the United states. Investigate livni and kadima
