1. Lost my vote

With a run off in Jerusalem scheduled for two weeks from now my favorite candidate, Ofer Berkovitch just lost my vote. Is it possible for get less votes in a run off. Ofer Berkovitch just sold his sold to the Haredi...

I supported him because he was not part of the religious movements and would be good for Jerusalem. In less than a few hours when facing a tough decision he caved in. Now he will lose all his support and lose the election in two weeks.

Berkovitch plans alliance with haredi faction

Hitorerut Jerusalem candidate who vowed to end 'haredi extortion' of city hall plans alliance with haredi candidate to win run-off election.
2. Do Israeli politicians think only of enriching themselves??

Just look at this article and it will make you want to vomit. https://www.timesofisrael.com/out-of-the-interrogation-room-into-the-mayors-office/ Mayor after mayor being charged with graft and corruption. People who know the regulations and choose to ignore them running for office!

To borrow from Star Wars, these politicians, mostly Jews but a couple Arabs, are a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Israel can tolerate.

ANY politician convicted of a serious crime must be prohibited by law from ever holding any office ever again.

An architect building her own home without a building permit? What about all the contractors who built that house? They KNEW she didn't have a permit. THEY are equally guilty. All these mayors who enriched themselves through shady property dealings need to be removed from office and NEVER allowed to hold any office again.

What the hell is wrong with Israeli politicians? They rob the country and only the everyday citizens have to follow the laws??

Why aren't the courts putting all these THIEVES in jail? Why aren't these THIEVES prohibited from running for office? Maybe the judges need to be looked into.

Israel is run like Boys (and girl's) Club of power-hungry white-collar criminals. IT HAS TO STOP.

The judiciary must make stronger laws to keep scumbags out of office. The 'moral turpitude' statute must include graft and corruption, not just sexual issues. Taking a bribe shows the mayor has NO morals. An architect building a house without a proper building permit shows the woman has NO morals. Too many politicians have trouble telling right from wrong. They DO NOT belong in office. ANY office.

Shame on Israelis for voting for these crooks. Where are YOUR morals??? Why do you reward these bums by putting (or keeping) them in office?
