What if he really is a crooked S.O.B. and he's guilty of the charges against him?

This guy's first term as Prime Minister began in 1996. Sometimes it's better for people to leave the political stage before their career catches up with them.

“If you read the entire article Bibi says he’s not guilty.”

I don’t know about Israel, but here in the States a lot of guys have claimed their innocence but were still taken down almost immediately. No due process. Nothing.

Hopefully more there is more sanity on the other side of the Atlantic.

Thank you. I hadn’t followed Bibi closely. What a shame.

Adelson better be all hands and feet on deck in defending BiBi or he could run into some real problems here in the US.

Lol...like what?

Adelson supports Republicans. But he may be GOPe and wants a more moderate PM in Israel.

So it looks like we have a US rat billionaire who was probably flooding Israel with anti Bibi leftist BS and Bibi may have crossed the line to stop it. Not good.

Adelson (and his wife) is a huge Republican donor and personal friend of President Trump.

/smh

“If Netanyahu goes the ME is in serious jeopardy of going up in flames.”

The same could be said about Trump and the USA.

BiBi is a BIGGER personal friend of CINC, since 1980 when he started hanging out with his dad in their home.

Sure it’s BS, but there are a number of Israeli leaders that can fill the void. Naftali Bennett and Gideon Sa’ar are well connected to fill any void left by Netanyahu.

Bennett, like Netanyahu, has an American business background (software multimillionaire). Sa’ar has the advantage of a lovely and brilliant wife.

Pres. Trump isn’t going to involve himself in the Israeli Prime Minister’s scandals, especially not against a major GOP donor...don’t be silly.

Zero’s using our tax dollars against BiBi in his last election could use a good airing.

Ehud Olmert became Israel's first former prime minister to serve a term in jail when he was convicted in 2014 of fraud and bribery in a real estate case. He served 16 months of a 27-month sentence.

I smell political payback. Liberals are such nasty creatures.

Okay, point well taken.

I guess the subtext of what I was thinking is that no one could fill BN’s shoes.

That is not the case from what you say.

God’s will be done.

Apologies for my poor memory, but IIRC some 30 years ago, or more, Israel’s president at the time said something to the effect that if other countries ever left them alone they would self destruct from in fighting.

Maybe they can do it even with outside distractions.

The Soro’s-Clinton-Obama-Jarrett Kabal have been working overtime. Pray for BiBi, I don’t see him as perfect, yet I do not see these as treasonous or seditious. Again he is Grant, he is needed because he fights...

I think Net has been through this a few times before and has always survived. The difference is that it’s a crucial time for establishing the capital.

Or Israel could wind up with Tzipi Livni or Bougie Herzog as PM. They make Bernie Sanders look like a screaming rightwinger.

Israel’s coalition based government is a boiling cauldron, most if not all the time.

Pray for Israel because this could get dicey, fast.
