I am a big fan of PM Netanyahu. Is the Israeli justice like ours in that a prosecutor can get a (kosher) sandwich indicted? And I am not current enough on Israeli politics to know how much of this is politically motivated. At least he wasn’t selling phantom copies of an unpublished book.
I don’t know about indictments. This is agenda driven, I think. And don’t tell me Mandelblit, or whatever his name is, is a member of Likud appointed by Bibi himself. Benny Begin is not only a member of Likud, but a son of Menachem Begin, and he’s a flaming leftard of the first order. We have a deep state here, too.
I used to admire Bibi, but then I moved here and got to know him better. But even so, perverting the very definition of a serious crime such as bribery to fit the pretext your agenda craves is worse than bribery, extortion, quidding someone’s proquo, or even murder. The law has to be the law. Prosecutor Humpty Dumpty can’t make it mean anything he wants it to. If the law is no longer the law, nobody’s safe. That’s what’s really at stake.
