the whole 2 state concession approach has been fatally degraded by ehud olmert. Imagine having conceded golan and west bank to moslem fundamental terror in syria and hamas with rocket villages established on syrian golan and west bank. It would be madness. Olmert was prepared to do this because he was afraid of blood, of casualties, overwhelmed by arab demographics and as well he was a dumbbell in practical matters. The same applies to oz, burg, livni, peres, beilin, verter, barnea, levy and benn. israelis may have to fight the juggernaut for years and face intense obstacles but they have to soldier on like the russians against the nazis and not throw in the towel like this collection of cowards. oz says you cannot kill and idea and that is true. But, israel can also have an idea and that is to survive and grow and kill off terror. All of the concessions proposed by oz and burg and olmert have killed israelis and rendered the state a supplicant to the US. No, Israel has to have the keys to its own security. The whole palestinian issue will be resolved in the next 3 wars as they will suffer many many casualties. They should leave now and go to jordan.

He was not in office at time he broke no laws, In my opinion To be fair then Investigate Ehud Barak how did he get his money, and what about the foreign campaign help he got back in 2000? Also Investigate Peres and the Peace Center Funding. Or who paid for those Kadima MK's trips to the Jstreet Conference? Also Did Livni travel and who paid for her travel? This is sounding more and more like a setup by the United States or EU with the help of certain elements in Israel.

First I don't believe he ordered a bed for a 4 hour trip unless he intended to stay on the plane for security reasons, but Israel does not have a air force one would Israelis prefer to pay for a Airforce one? US Presidents all the time order changes including having a double bed on Airforce one

I think it shows a serious distortion in news values when ynet publishes a story about financial allegations ahead of a story about Hizbollah building bases in the midst of villages. Is survival of the state in warfare less important than a two-bit political hit piece? Shanda.

This kind of smear is the trademark of Leftist venom. The PM is far more smarter than their crap. External anti-Israel forces are working so hard to destroy Israel through their stooges from within Leftism.

This is a world wide phenomenan and if true money must be donated to the soup kitchens and welfare sector with a fine also for the poor

Bibi Time to Expose the Left Barak Livni Peres Kadima Leftist Organizations etc stop protecting the left.

..and yet, one can lose it in a flash. I recall Sarah (and Bibi?) pinching or trying to pinch the silverware (that was state property) the last time they were leaving office. This could be one of the reasons the media devote extra energy to the Netanyahu's billing arrangements. Agree with John at #3...a bed solely for a 4 hour flight ??? Mile High Club, any takers?

to terror as he should...let them have the bed.

Should piss off...

Again Nathanyahu uses the tactics of the "attack is the best defence". He still did not learn from his previous experence and from the experience with Katzav and Olmert, who also attacked the press, the statecontrolers office , the knesset and so on, it appeared tthose who ere attacked were right, and the the only one who was wrong was hthe one who attacks.

Lindenstrauss has been right every single time. His investigations have ALWAYS proved correct and have led to criminal indictments and convictions. Nobody can lay a glove on Judge Lindenstrauss, accusing HIM of anything untoward or in the slightest manner unethical. THANK G-D he is there for the rest of us, trying to clean out the Augean stables. I wish HE were Prime Minister.

Your Talkback shows your ignorance! Livni, like a number of Kadima MK's, was LIKUD! She joined Ariel Sharon, probably the most Hawkish Prime Minister Israel has ever had, when he formed Kadima. Sharon's withdrawal from Gaza is regarded by some as a leftist move but if so, what was Begin's withdrawal from Sinai? The Egyptians got the oil, Sadat refused to take Gaza, ans Israel became the victim of that cesspool of terror that even a self respecting Tsunami wouldn't wash into the sea! If you want to clean up the "Left" then clean up you own Leftist mess in the USA and tell your President, the son of a Muslim, to stop bullying Israel! It won't work. Ask Bush, Clinton and Bush the First! Bibi's shenanigans in and out of office is an Israeli matter and no concern of people who sit in their armchairs in the USA and tell us how to run our country. Fix up your first! From what we see it needs a lot of fixing.

I have sympathy for Netanyahu for suffering this pathetic smear campaign, but what did he expect? He betrayed his supporters, his voters and the Likud. He gave the failure Ehud Barak unlimited power, started the racist building freeze and helped Fatah steal more land at a frenzied pace. Now when his erstwhile friends are attacking him and his wife, why should we support him? So he can betray us again?

And in other news the State Comptroller threw out allegations as totally without any shread of reality, that Kadima Charwoman Zipperette Livni spent millions of sh'kalim on personal high fashion designer clothing, shoes and cosmetics. Allegations that she has had internationally reknowned hair stylists and cosmeticians flown in to BG Airport to meet with her and prepare her for her daily "efforts in remaining relevant" have been floated. The Comptroller was subjected to MDA treatment and assistance and pronounced fit to return to duty after falling to the floor laughing at the charges.

Yes, why not an extra $310.000,- for a double bed in the plane for a 4-5 hour flight to Europe! Is this Netanyahu out of his mind?? One in every three children in his country live below the poverty-line. Can't Madame Netanyahu do her beauty-sleep at home, and instead spend this money on a better, more urgent cause: the children and thus the future of Israel? Shame on you!! Shan Ti
