The leftists of Israel are taking their cues from the left here.

Smear and manufacture fake crimes because they can’t beat him on the up and up.

Just another leftist attempt at the takedown of a chief of state they don’t like.

What happens to their country as a result appears to be of lesser concern for them, imho; just as in the US.

I think Israel’s libtards are trying to emulate our libtards in this. But there, the stakes are far higher. If they manage (G-d forbid) to get their own version of Hillary or Kamala or some other “Let’s all be friends” cretin elected, the muzzlimes will not hesitate to close in like sharks on a bloody carcass. In Israel particularly, elections DO matter.

I tend to steer clear of these legal situations in other countries. I’ve reached the point where I generally assume that anyone who has been in public office for decades like Netanytahu is a crooked SOB unless I’m presented with a good reason to believe otherwise.

Gantz is not a wild lefty and could pull out a win with this.
Can’t believe they couldn’t wait until after the election.

Alan Dershowitz, a prominent American lawyer, came to Netanyahu’s defense earlier Thursday, publishing an open letter to Mandelblit in which he warned that an indictment against the prime minister ahead of elections would undermine the democratic process. “I’m very worried for freedom of the press and freedom of government in Israel if they start indicting people for trying to get good coverage from the media,” Dershowitz also told Army Radio, referencing Cases 2000 and 4000, which revolve around alleged illicit deals in which the prime minister allegedly offered favors in return for favorable media coverage. “I don’t know of any other country that has criminalized trying to get good coverage and make that a basis of bribery or any other corruption investigation.”

This is why Dershowitz is a moron. That's precisely the attitude that led James Comey to let Hillary Clinton off the hook.

It's no coincidence that Dershowitz -- to this day -- considers himself a Hillary Clinton supporter. That's the kind of thing nobody interested in protecting the rule of law should ever admit in public.

I’m pretty sure Soros had nothing whatsoever to do with this...

By the way, have the Israelis indicted Obama for interfering in their elections?

I have seen news features showing placid Israelis sipping coffee at outdoor seating areas of restaurants, casually trashing Netanyahu. Saying he’s “too warlike” and doesn’t compromise enough with the Arabs.

But if he and his protections from his party were gone, they would be over ruled, out voted and then overrun and kicked out by Muslims.

Then they won’t be free to chat over coffee in outdoor seating.
Idiots.
