Just days after he began a new term in office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being tried in Jerusalem court for corruption.
Mr Netanyahu, 70, is the first standing leader to face trial in the country’s history. He denies accusations of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
According to a BBC news report, when he arrived at the courthouse for a brief hearing, he said the cases were aimed at “toppling him in any way possible”.
Netanyahu has sworn back into office as head of a rare unity government a week ago.
His political rival, Benny Gantz, agreed to share power following three inconclusive elections in under a year.
He has rejected calls by opponents to step down while he fights the cases.
Maybe he can renounce Israeli citizenship move to the US and have his boy Trump pardon him. Then Trump can move to Israel and have his boy pardon him, they can pardon each other.
In every country where democracy prevails, when political leaders, and politician in general are suspected of thievery, or corruption there is an authority which investigates the culprits, and the suspected thieves.
When and if evidence of corruption are found, the thieves are arrested and charged, tried in a court of law and sent to jail!
Dominica is the only place on planet earth where politicians, especially the leaders thief in broad daylight, in plain view of the police watching, and cheering the thieves on.
We have a certain political leader in our country, the man is a notorious thief; he has stolen everything he owns, he is so thief, he stole the food he had for breakfast this morning: hahaahahahahahahahaha!
………………………………………..
Only in Dominica; but if you see Lennox or any of the opposition slip and fall injuring themselves, for nothing else a certain thief ensures they are arrested, and jailed simply for the hell…
@Elizabeth
I thought, at first, to just ignore your asinine, frivolous and unwarranted attacks on me. If you were a serious, sincere and honest person, I would have been troubled. Your adverse comments are like water running off a duck’s back. Liz, political fanatics like you are just a mere nuisance as no one gives serious consideration to your biased and demeaning assaults. This is a solemn message to all of Skerrit’s foot soldiers. “Never do anything against conscience, even if the state demands it.”
I didn’t expect a different response.
Glad to note that the nation of Israel holds its leaders to account. There is hope for us yet.
What hope you on about Israel like America, are all corrupt if you don’t understand the meaning of corrupt let me explain, willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain. My prime minister Skerrit 100% do not have any of that issues, but we knows someone in Dominica that cap 🧢 fits perfectly.
The world is heaped up with corrupt leaders. Power and greed continue to destroy them. Just a matter of time. They just cannot have enough!!!
The cursor went haywire on me and I did not read over the previous post which I usually do. Parts of that post is just insane. Won’t be repeated.
That man (Benjamin Netanyahu) is a devout racist. Made Ethiopian Jews living in Israel second class citizens. His government treats Palestinians like sub human beings.
God is not sleeping. He will get exactly what he richly deserves.
If Dominica were a real country not only would Skerrit be charged for corruption but both Skerrit and his passport director, Emmanuel Nanthan would be jailed long time for corruption and money laundering. In fact these two work hand in hand and when you hear the name of one in a money scandal know the other one is in the shadow. But Skerrit was right when he said Dominica is not a real country. He made it like that when he made his hometown boy that was not qualified Police chief.
Israel’s Justice System is blind. No one is above the law. If Dominica were a true democracy, Mr. Skerrit will be presently serving time behind bars instead of occupying the office of the prime minister. Imagine just after he audience is deaf. a couple of months after voting the of returning this nakedly corrupt, uncaring, deceptive maladministration to power, the country is pregnant with hunger, pain, suffering and hopelessness. The electors were forewarned over and over about this unwise decision.
* It requires wisdom to understand wisdom; the music is nothing if the audience is deaf. Too many turned a deaf ear to Mr. Linton. Regardless of your political colour, the man was precisely right. While you are suffering, Skerrit and his Cabinet of cold blooded misfits are enjoying their champaign life.
Alibaba and his forty thieves have done far worse than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and yet, the man is a free man. Not only is Alibaba corrupt but he is a thief and a nasty liar. That’s why I can’t understand why Alibaba still has people that we refer to as pastors, Bishop, Evangelist, príests and Christians following Alibaba. But to Alibaba’s credit he hand picked his police chief, his deputy, inspectors to make sure they are loyal to him. That’s why this country is going nowhere, always seems to be under the sword of God, even though some try to deny it. But we know God only blessed righteousness and monies that come from righteous gain. When Alibaba is in so much Evil and corruption and is church leaders and church people that behind him and supporting his Evil, how do we expect our country to be blessed and protected? All you think God is Evil then to bless the Evils of Alibaba and those church people that helping him steal and hide his proceed of crime on their name
@Ibo France, that first paragraph of yours is badly written and confusing. It definitely needs rephrasing.
You say: “the country is pregnant with hunger, pain, suffering, and hopelessness”
I know that pregnancy demands “delivery”. So since you know and are concerned about that kind of pregnancy, why don’t you plan to take it to the “delivery room”?
Yes, doctor! You know the problem, so gather your team and prepare them for the delivery to release your Nation from its pregnancy of pain and suffering. Be the famous “obstetrician” to do that job of deliverance–send your name to the Guinness Book of Records.
“Too many turned a deaf ear to Mr. Linton”. Just like you, Mr. Linton had nothing fruitful to speak, had he remained silent maybe everyone would hear him.
The audience was deaf because he was speaking too much of the vile and discord from his carnal mind; and too loud, the reason for the “death ear” that they turned him down.
Leaders facing corruption charge all over the world except in Dominica,where we see corruption in broad daylight but police don’t care. We see NG Lap Seng jailed in NY for corruption and other crimes and we saw pictures of Skerrit in the middle of it but the police didn’t even care to investigate Skerrit. We see Skerrits friend Aliereza Monfared, jailed in Iran for 20 yrs and just b4 he was picked up in the DR, he was hiding in Dominica for 6 months and was seen with Skerrit and Nanthan in particular several times and yet the police never investigated any of them, although he had his vehicle in Dominica and we all know who was last seen driving it. We heard of a local friend of Skerrit attempting to deposit over a $1M dollars, yet police failed to investigate. Al Jazeera gave us evidence of Monfared transferring over $200k into a petrol account in Portsmouth, yet no investigation. Recently we learnt that CWI was the conduit for 134k to cricket Dominica during the time of Nanthan, yet
As he should. Netanyahu is a currupt racist. his rise to power has made him fearful of losing his position, and will do what it takes to keep it. Has he allowed any ethiopian beta israelites in his cabinet yet?
