Well argued Esther. Very compelling reasoning. i guess if someone doesn`t autoamtcially go along with the media driven political correctness but tries to acutally anlayze the facts on the merits, they are part of the problem. You can think olmert is a sleaze for his relationship with the sleaze talansky without automatically "criminalizing" the behaviour regardless of the law. I will bet that Obama will introduce his business supporters to each other to try to encourage business activity in the usa and no one will dream to say it is criminal or even wrong. if olmert gave a government preference to talansky or to a third pary to induce them to do busiess with talansky that would be something else. the article does not say that. Just making introductions between two business people who then decide on their own if it is good business or not is how life works in the real world and it is a good thing. Esther, you can be a pavlovian dog for haaretz and mazuz, I prefer to think for myself.
