[QUOTE]Police are likely to recommend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is indicted following an investigation into bribery allegations, national broadcaster Channel 2 has reported. Multiple investigations into the leader were opened, but Case 1000 – which allegedly involves illegal gifts – was being treated as separate to the other ongoing investigations. The TV channel reported that Case 1000 was to be closed with a recommendation to indict the Israeli leader in the next six weeks. Mr Netanyahu was reportedly questioned under police caution three times as part of the inquiry. He is expected to be interviewed once more before the probe closes. Israeli police probe into Netanyahu corruption allegations widens The leader is accused of accepting of tens of thousands of dollars in gifts – including suits and cigars – from wealthy businessmen. He has vigorously denied any wrongdoing.[/QUOTE] [t]https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_large/public/thumbnails/image/2017/02/05/15/benjamin-netanyahu-cabinet-3.jpg[/t] [URL="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/benjamin-netanyahu-corruption-investigation-police-bribery-a7574391.html"]http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/benjamin-netanyahu-corruption-investigation-police-bribery-a7574391.html[/URL]
He is a well dressed man.
[QUOTE=Megadave;51806930]He is a well dressed man.[/QUOTE] Yeah, he'd look better in prison orange tho tbh.
Please get him out. The world needs this.
Honestly I hope this goes through. We need a change here and we need it bad. I just hope it won't lead to an even bigger dickhead getting into office.
It would be so stereotypical if 2 PMs of Israel in a row lose their jobs because of bribery. Hopefully Bibi beats these charges.
I'm expecting a similar result to what happened with Hillary Clinton, i.e. It was nothing and nothing happens.
This would be excellent. I would like to see the breaking of the coalition government. Who would replace Bibi though? Also the comments on that article are a fucking shit hole. [QUOTE]Hey Bob, not so much international, Hamas are the democratically elected members of Gaza parliament. Israel is the criminal entity illegally besieging and committing war crimes against the indigenous Palestinians. If you don't know the difference, then try to learn. [/QUOTE] Do people actually think that is the case?
[QUOTE=Svinnik;51807423]Hopefully Bibi beats these charges.[/QUOTE] Why though?
Somehow I doubt he's going to go quietly
[QUOTE=_Axel;51808042]Why though?[/QUOTE] He's the best leader that Israel can offer right now. Life in Israel has improved significantly under Bibi. quoting myself [QUOTE]Yair Lapid: IMO, most likely to replace Bibi but still has a slim chance. He's very similar to Bibi on a lot of issues but has a history of pissing off the religious parties by wanting to make Haredim serve in the IDF. The Haredim generally don't want to serve in the IDF thanks to the secular environment (excluding a few religious units) and the fact that it would take away from their Torah learning. Isaac Herzog: Leader of the Zionist Union, a leftist coalition. They have a good amount of seats in the Knesset but during the last election, they were supported by a propaganda campaign paid for by the Obama administration. It's not clear if they are still going to be as popular in the next election with most Israelis being right wing. Avigdor Lieberman: Fucking insane, with a conviction of attacking a 12 year old child, advocating executing Arab Joint list members if they meet with Hamas, and suggesting Israel + Palestine would become ethnic states with no Jews allowed in Palestine and no Arabs in Israel. His party is only popular among Russians, he's strongly pro Putin, and his Lieberman plan that I mentioned before is pretty much ethnic cleansing. His only action that got support from liberal Israelis was giving equal rights to the families of LGBT soldiers killed in action. The reason that Bibi keeps him around is because he opened up Africa for Bibi and helps with Russian relations.[/QUOTE] These are the 3 most likely people to replace Bibi and each of them has huge problems.

[QUOTE=Svinnik;51808310]He's the best leader that Israel can offer right now. Life in Israel has improved significantly under Bibi. [/QUOTE] Ha. Hahahaha. Ha. Fuck no. Are you, like, an adult? Got a career? A job? Hope to ever own a house? Things have been continually getting worse for over a decade now. Like the cost of living has gotten so high that a couple with two very decent middle class salaries can't afford raising more than one kid without going into debt, let alone actually save up money. No one that doesn't already own a house has any hope of buying one without putting their parents into debt, and even then you'll end up taking up more debt than you can possibly afford, which is bound to increase over the next fucking 30 years it will take you to hopefully pay it off. Or you can rent, and pay even more every fucking year, making sure you'll never be able to save up to actually buy a place. Putting a kid in daycare costs 2 or 3 times more than putting a guy through college. The curriculum has been getting more and more religious, to the point I have to deprogram my kid after kindergarten just to keep him open minded about believing in god. Cars have gotten so expensive even leasing a car from work isn't worth it anymore. There's a reason everyone gets tiny, manual transmission POSs now. Personal security? Good thing we don't have a problem with random street stabbings or rampant organized crime, right? Or corruption. I mean, what can you expect when the minister of internal affairs is a convicted criminal who did jail time, the minister of defense beat up children and the minister of residence has been convicted of illegal construction? How about the media? The biggest newspaper is a piece of shit propaganda rag that a billionaire bought Netanyahu just to kill off the previously largest newspaper, to the point its owner is suspected of going to Netanyahu and offering positive coverage just to save it? Where the second largest TV channel is on the verge of dying and at the mercy of the government, and where the public broadcast authority has already been effectively killed off? Where journalists that expose government wrongdoings aren't on Bibi's personal shitlist? How about freedom of expression and human rights? Remember when being in an organization with opposing views to the government didn't make you a traitor and a criminal? Because it's been a while. Hell, remember when just having any opinion that isn't Bibi's didn't make you a traitor? When being a leftist or (god forbid) an Arab didn't make you an automatic enemy of the state? Everything is worse. Everything is getting worse. And deluded people like are the reason those fuckheads keep getting elected.
