Re: Netanyahu and his wife Sara to be charged with accepting bribes etc

Is it anti-American to criticise Trump?
No it isn't.
Is it anti-British to criticise May?
No it isn't.

Time to stop been ridiculous.
Can we please move past the romper suit rattle banging notion that to criticise Netanyahu is anti-Semitic.
That has to be one of the weirdest and least credible defences offered in support of a world leader with his mucky hand caught in the till.

I'd have thought he'd want to clear his, and his wife's name.
Why isn't he?

Because he's guilty as sin and hasn't got a credible defence to any of it.

Re: Netanyahu and his wife Sara to be charged with accepting bribes etc

All yap and no teeth .
That's why some people are leaders of countries and others just .....yappers

Netenyahu is not a popular figure ( nor was Churchill) but he is a matchless leader there simply is no one in Israel of his stature .
Like his country he is held to a rediculous standard by those who dont even have a dog in the fight !

Wish we had him for our Brexit negotiations.

Like Churchill he will go down in history as one of the strong leaders of his country when it has faced some of its greatest dangers .

Re: Netanyahu and his wife Sara to be charged with accepting bribes etc

Seriously ..there is meandering off-topic and there is going on a fantastical detour to the moon without a map.

What kind of reply can anyone make to that?
We should admire a PM who is up on corruption charges ?...

And while we're at it be thankful Netanyahu is not head of the Brexit negotiations ( on the EU side) or he'd illegally shift more borders and swell EU holdings and territories quicker than Sara could say .. I am not corrupt.

Let's try and remain sensible.
He's a leader, at a world class level ... accused of fraud and corruption and that will inevitably reflect on his integrity and standing and his image on the world stage.
Now .. if he were a secondhand car salesman no one would give a hoot, except possibly someone who trusted him and bought a dodgy car off him.

Re: Netanyahu and his wife Sara to be charged with accepting bribes etc

But .... in the big cuddly guys defence ....

I've looked but can't seem to find if he has issued any kind of statement in response to these allegations or investigations.

Anyone found anything?

Hi

They have been charged, due process will now take place.

They are innocent until proven guilty.

We will have to just wait and see what happens.

Re: Netanyahu and his wife Sara to be charged with accepting bribes etc

That is the beauty of a democracy and Israel IS a democracy .
Standing head and shoulders over most of its neighbours and indeed a greater part of the world in regard to corrupt politicians .
Israel the country and its politicians are held to a higher standard than anyone else especially by the liberal tree huggers and other yappers who blithely ignore the misdeeds committed in Iran Turkey all the Arab states and most of Africa..

I'll happily talk about other corrupt leaders muddy, but this thread isn't about them and two wrongs don't make a right.

Ah, thanks Swims.
From what I gather Netanyahu is in a precarious position politically and down to a single seat majority, so not as popular as some would have us believe ... therefore it also follows he's fair game for his enemies to hunt down if he has, or has not, foolishly given them ammunition to fire at him.

Whether it prompts an early election is another matter.

I am sure that you would Julie but as I mentioned before this is not really a serious discussion . It's just a flame bait by someone who seeks to flame .
Heaven knows there have been many corrupt Australian ministers !
On this band wagon jump the anti semites and some who are just yapping for the sake of it .
Demonising Israel is such a sport .
Netenyahu is not actually a popular man but he is a leader and the Israelis many of whom do not like him still vote for him as they have no strong alternative .
This corruption charge may bring him down but he has served four terms too long IMO for any leader to serve .
And they are not that serious he hasn't had a journalist murdered in the embassy for example .
Netenyahu has in many ways held the difficult peace situation in Israel he is strong and his countries enemies know this .
Strong leaders are often not popular .
Look at Winston Churchill .
Good presidents/PMs don't always make good leaders.
Ie Jimmy Carter was a good man but a hopeless leader .
Tony Blair for all his faults was a leader whereas the weak Cameron was not .
The Israelis have not voted Netenyahu in four times because they love him .
He does what it says on the tin -he protects his people and keeps them safe .
A safe country is a stable country .
Stability means prosperity
As in any country safety stability and prosperity are what a leader is meant to deliver and he does.
