Israeli Prime Minister faces corruption charges asked to step down

Benjamin Netanyahu, who was once Israel’s youngest elected prime minister, faces charges in two separate corruption cases. Netanyahu, who has been at the forefront of Israeli politics for over 20 years, has denied any wrongdoing according to CNN.

In a widely televised statement, he said the allegations would be dismissed, further solidifying his now recognized catch phrase “There will be nothing because there is nothing”. He also stated moments before the official police findings that “I think about the good of the country not for personal reasons of the press, but only for the country, and nothing will stop me from doing this, not even the attacks against me, and believe me they’re never ending.”

The police said yesterday that there is “sufficient evidence” to indict Prime Minister Netanyahu on criminal charges in two corruption cases.

      You have missed one out, Hitler. Under Netanyahu’s watch, he seems to be prepared to administer to the many thousands of African refugees now in his country, Israel, the final solution which Hitler and his henchmen had reserved for his Jewish kin 70 years ago.
      Seig Heil is still the order of the day in Israel.

        Hitler acknowledged that black people were the real israelites. Do you know that when the state of Israel was established Ethiopia sent Beta Israelites or Falashan Jews to the state of Israel in return for aid and assistance. The State of Israel used the true Israelites to justify their existance, however today Ethiopian Jews are treated as third class citizens in Israel. Research Beta Israelites in Israel if you have doubt.

    Poor leaches. One who sells himself for a few crumbs is not worthy of himself. Am sure you all are not independent, self reliant, gainfully employed individuals.
    You must depend on the crumbs you line up for every Wednesday. Be on the look out for me this Wednesday ,I have additional crumbs for you.

    Hello and good morning my people. Well Netanyahu and Danald Trump are cut from the same racist cloth but this is the least of his problems. Wait when the International Criminal Court in The Hague issue an indictment and an arrest warrant against Natanyuha for all the War Crimes he committed against the Palestinians. Those people pretend as if being Jewish is a seperate and distinctive race when being Jewish means that you subscribe to a specific religion. I hope they have a nice cell waiting on him at The Hague .

      Actually there are Jews, and there are people who are Jew-ish. Read Adolf Hilter’s book, he himself knew who the real Jews were. And not those who are of Jewish faith.

      Having travelled throughout Israel, and having lived in the then West Germany for almost a decade, I find these people in Israel to be more German than anything else. Eagles of the same feather.

    Man bites dog,when will you stop begging. This satanic government ,lead by the most evil man in Dominica will come to an end soon.
    When this is done,we will transform you into an ordinary, decent, law abiding citizen who will be gainfully employed. Presently, it is clearly understood you have no choice but to belittle yourself and family just for a bone. But, in due time we will enhance your standard of living.
    It’s a pitty you are a house slave.

    Apartheid is alive and well in Israel. The Israeli government, supported by their security forces and extremist citizens, treat African migrants like sub human beings. They are forced to live in slums in dehumanizing conditions with no hope of ever overcoming the odds that have been carefully planned against them. Despite their inhumanity to immigrants and the Palestinians, corrupt practices, especially by government officials, are not ignored or taken lightly unlike in Dominica and other Caribbean countries . Skerrit and his innermost circle are bolstered in their wrongdoings by the public’s indifference to their banditry. Corruption has taken a stranglehold on the country and law enforcement stands idly by, too compromised to take corrective action. Meanwhile the country sinks into the abyss.

      Ibo France, you idiots and others want to watch your big mouths before you guys end up in trouble for accusing the prime minister Skerrit of wrong doing of corruption, dont you and others think for one moment you guys can hide behind your computers and get away with it you are wrong, that nonsense have got to stop. The commonwealth of Dominica will no longer tolerate this sort of accusations against the prime minister Dr R Skerrit.

        If your prime minister is so squeaky clean as you are making us believe, why doesn’t your PM account for the CBI proceeds and for the US$100 million from the Petro Caribe account. But may be since you PM is unwilling to do so, perhaps you can tell us in your own words what happened: a) to the income of the CBI program and b) to the Petro Caribe Dominica Ltd. money. And don’t you dare attempt to tell us new bridge in Roseau etc. because that that does not even scratch the surface. Come on, it was YOU that told us your PM is not corrupt. Let’s hear it!

      During the height of Apartheid in South Africa, Israel through the back door was supplying arms to the South African regime. Yes how quickly they forgot the horrors of Belsen and Dachau.

    I just had that sick feeling that this guy is corrupt if he, a Jew, can make a pact with the Kuklux klan who finally made their way into the White house. Lets see how things turn out for him.

      He is a racist bastard full of hate and vengeance. He rufused to forgive or acknowledge Nelson Mandela because he recueved help from the PLO in ANC struggles durind apartheid. When all else failed the military wing of ANC got help from PLO because tbey were seen as fighting the same cause. Liberation from oppression. No one else would help the african blackman. To his death he hated mandela, my hero. I saw his behavior of disrespect for Obama and it bad nothing to do with policy except he was a black man. All od a sudden trump the imposter is a saviour. Everyone knows America will defend Israel no matther who is President. Nelson Mandela teach the world one thing. Unless you willing to forgive there will be no peace. Millions of blacks wer killed and wiped of the earth, we lost our names and identities yet we forgive. Jews were killed by Hitler craziness Netanyahu will never forgive. He is no different from those dictators.

    The original God, the SUN, will continue to overcome the Darkness the JEWS and Jewdeo religious beliefs that have engulf the so-called Christian world. Criminal Netanyahu and his backers, will soon see the end of their days. Dominica, may be nurturing the very same.

        Jesus Christ might have been a Jew, but modern Israel does not recognise Him in the same way as Christians. But however, they are very very thankful to Jesus Christ for their multi-billion dollar earning tourist industry which attracts tens of millions of people to the “Holy Land” every year.

    Where there is life there is hope!
    I really hope I live long enough to see Dominicans open their eyes wide enough to stop making excuses for this corrupt regime of DLP and to see these varmints for who they really are.

    February 15, 2018

    Notice my fellow Dominicans that it is the police that investigated the alleged corruption and NOT THE OPPOSITION OR THE OPPOSITION LEADER!!! Can you all understand why Dominica is failed state and will NEVER recover as long as we have Roosevelt Skerrit, Blackmore, Carbon, the deputy and the likes of Mills running Dominica? I mean in every serious business place I have visited the business place hires a security firm that will help them catch those stealing. Furthermore every real country I been to and heard of the police takes the responsibility to ensure that that country remains safe by ensuring that law breakers are brought to justice. However, in Dominica the #1 law breaker is our government and sadly, our police will arrest and even shoot our innocent citizens, just to protect those looting from us on a daily basis. Boy for Da to change Skerrit and co must go; the police must, the president must go and even some of our citizens that are supporting such atrocious behavior must

    When people stay in power too long they develop a sense of entitlement. It makes no difference whether they are right wing, left wing or in the middle and I’m afraid our own P.M. appears to be a prime example of this. I agree with the leader of the opposition that we should have limited terms of office and I hope he will be good to his word when he gets into office himself.

    Zimbabwe, South Africa, Israel… everywhere they are removing these corrupt politicians and hold them accountable. Not so in Dominica, because it takes a certain kind of citizens. Once people have no pride in their country and themselves no more and once they are content to live from one day to the other and once the majority is happy with the few dollars their leader gives them occasionally, then sooner rather than later the country is in big trouble and the society is loosing all values and anarchy is creeping in. Sounds familiar???

    This is what responsible and educated populace do. They hold their leaders accountable for every little complaint that is leveled against them .
    See how many leaders have stepped down in Japan and South Korea! (and look at how developed they are!!) Once there is a hint of corruption against a the people ask then to step down.
    It seems like we in Dominica is either ignorant of how a true democracy works or we like misery .

      You are entitled to your opinion, at least, please give an informed opinion based on reason by understanding the subject matter at hand before giving your opinion.

      First of, if anyone is ignorant about how true democracy works, it’s you. In a true democracy, a complaint or hint is not enough to hold elected leaders accountable, it’s an irrational idea which would lead to injustice and a chaotic society. In a true democracy, there are laws and procedures which govern and determine the fate of elected leaders accountability regarding corruption. Your type of thinking is the modus operandi the UWP wants to
      implement in Dominica, so long for your ignorance regarding a fundamental aspect of democracy.

  20. My little take
    February 15, 2018

    “The police said yesterday that there is “sufficient evidence” to indict Prime Minister Netanyahu on criminal charges in two corruption cases.”

    The striking point is the role of the police in this investigation. I want everyone, especially our police officers to read this carefully because in any democracy it is the police that investigating crime no matter who is involved. They put country first regardless of who hired them and who gave them promotion. In Dominica we have the reverse as the police fails to investigate our government and will do everything to protect him as if they are employed by him to protect him. Think of the amount of allegations about Skerrit be it the bin bobol, the villas, sale of pasports, Monfared affairs, the Diezani Madueke affairs, the my my dominica trade house, the layout hotel and the exceeding long list of allegations continue. Dominica stinks man and I am upset

    • RandyX
      February 15, 2018

      You are spot on right and that’s why Skerrit right from the onset made sure that the top brass of the CDPF was firmly in his pocket. The next step was to render parliament inoperative and influence the courts on political issues. Voilà, corruption is rife and dictatorship is on its way.

  21. Shaka Zulu
    February 15, 2018

    Netanyahu, Donald trump, Putin same kind of people. At least the Israeli police is doing there work. No matter your status the law is tbe law and any suspicion of breaking the law must be investigated. No matter by whom. The order to investigate or not to investigate cannot come from President or prime minister. One day some people in Dominica must face the music it is just a matter of time and a lot of tbem will spend time in jail. Mark my words. Now we have container coming from Russia hope we make shure we know exactly what in there. In this day and age we really believe that Russia and China give a rats about black people in a tiny island in the Caribbean. Some lil remora PM hanging with sharks trying get a ride and crumbs. But it will not be to long before that remora get eaten when two sharks buss a tussle.
