True Power
10 Shevat 5768, January 17, '08 Lieberman's Daughter Interrogated(IsraelNN.com) Michal Lieberman, the daughter of resigning Minister for Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman, was interrogated at the offices of the National Unit for Fraud Investigations Thursday.
Lieberman was interrogated for six hours regarding suspicions of corruption, as part of an investigation that has been going on for several years, in which her father was also questioned.
A separate criminal case against Avigdor Lieberman had dragged out for eight years and was only closed shortly after he joined the Kadima government.
The power of the system at work, is something to behold.
Olmert accepts Lieberman's resignation on January 16th, 2008, the very next day Lieberman's daughter was brought in for questioning by the Israeli police.
This is just an age old pattern that is just getting more than a little old.
Ariel Sharon was elected on a platform of being tough on terror and soon faced an onslaught of corruption charges, that went away when he stated to push his idea of a Gaza retreat.
Olmert was not totally on board with the whole "peace" process and faced corruption charges, as soon as he changed his mind on the peace process the main witness against him was arrested in New York and was not available to testify against Olmert, charges dropped.
Is there corruption in Israel, you bet.
Are all 120 members of Knesset corrupt, I have no proof but my gut says, yes they are.
This brings up two issues, first who is the true power in Israel the members of Knesset or some group that can bring up corruption charges every time a politician is against national suicide?
The second issue, is democracy still viable in Israel?
If the will of the people can be ignored, by our elected representatives?
Sixty Seven percent of the people are against retreating from any more land according to recent polls, but the process still moves forward toward creating a terrorist state.
Every Israel politician that has tried to slow the tide, has been run over by corruption charges.
If left wing elements in the Attorney Generals Office, Prosecuting Attorney's Office and the Police are really running the agenda, what has Israel become?
A Police State.
