THE OLDER , THE BOLDER or now better said " THE OLDER , THE CRAZIER ! ! !" Seems that once elected into an official position of some power, many of them are loosing their minds and become real maniacs. About time that the judicial system gets off the pot , takes the gloves off and makes a few good disciplinairy examples out of this. That's what you get when your prosecution and/or A.G. are weak and let - certain - people get away with this kind of incidents.
Disgusting! Seems like the whole Israeli government needs to be arressted and then treated as guilty before proven innocent. I am sick of hearing this stuff.
I have no words.
