RACIST ISRAELI AMBASSADOR to Australia recalled

Another Step-a-Side politician. Who next? Who's left? Maybe the new Avigdor Lieberman MK

best known in Israel for his "Population Exchange" plan, under which the Arab-populated of the Wadi 'Ara region will return to Arab sovereignty in exchange for keeping large Jewish-populated settlement blocs.

and now the deputy PM of Israel and acknowledged RACIST. All their barrels are now scrapped dry.

Israel curtails term of Australia envoy after 'yellow race' remark

By Charlotte Halle, Haaretz Correspondent

Foreign Ministry sources said Tuesday that Israel's ambassador to Australia will have his term cut short in the wake of an interview to Haaretz, in which he called Australia and Israel white sisters amid "the yellow race." Naftali Tamir was on his way back to Canberra on Tuesday following a two-week review process in Jerusalem where he denied having made the comments attributed to him, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.

It really would have been news if he had admitted it.

Tamir told Haaretz during a visit to Israel three weeks ago. [PHP]"Israel and Australia are like sisters in Asia," "We are in Asia without the characteristics of Asians. We don't have yellow skin and slanted eyes. Asia is basically the yellow race. Australia and Israel are not - we are basically the white race. We are on the western side of Asia and they are on the southeastern side."[/PHP] Earlier Tuesday, Regev refrained from commenting on whether Tamir's version of events had been accepted by his superiors at the ministry, stating only: "The ambassador denied the remarks attributed to him immediately following their publication, and he did so through all stages of the internal Foreign Ministry review. He is on his way back and will arrive in Australia tomorrow."

So someone was LYING but true to form, he denied that it was him!

"We don't have yellow skin and slanted eyes. Asia is basically the yellow race. Australia and Israel are not - we are basically the white race."

ABSOLUTE RACISM!!! Small point, I'm querying that the Israelite are white! Semites are not white. How could they claim part of the Middle East if they are white, not that I care what colour they are.

I posted all these sources as a certain Zionist has bad mouthed my sources. See
Withdraw another slanderous accusation

"Hoax quotes from propaganda site" This is a very serious allegation. If true and done deliberately then I believe there is no worse sin that a poster could commit. IMO, personal insult is minor in comparison. A personal insult by definition could only effect one other person. A hoax quote from a propaganda site effects every other poster and the whole integrity of the forum. Equal anyone making false accusations of this nature should be dealt with most firmly.

There is a second reason in this case. None of the sources are American! Surprise, surprise.

Pines-Paz: I can't sit in gov't with racist
H A A R E T Z ...By Mazal Muale ...Wed., November 01, 2006

Minister of Culture and Sport Ophir Pines-Paz (Labor) resigned from the government yesterday, hours after the cabinet approved by a large majority the appointment of Avigdor Lieberman. "I couldn't sit in a government with a minister who preaches racism," Pines-Paz wrote in his resignation letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert yesterday. "The combination of loss of direction and adding Lieberman to the cabinet is dangerous and irresponsible."

He said there was no other option left to him following the cabinet vote on Lieberman.

Pines-Paz, the only cabinet member to vote against the inclusion of Lieberman, had intended to announce his resignation at the cabinet meeting that ratified Lieberman's appointment. Pines said. "I came to the decision for reasons of conscience,""I could not sit in a government with a party whose platform is full of racist characteristics, and whose leaders' statements harm the essence of democracy in the State of Israel."

An honest Israeli politician!!! And pigs will fly. Is there any difference between a RACIST and "racist characteristics"?

What does "harm the essence of democracy in the State of Israel" mean exactly. Does it mean not getting caught screwing the citizens - female - as with the Step-a-Side president Moshe Katsav, up on rape charges. A real scorpion.
Most recent is Step-a-Side Katsav urged to step aside and At long last...

You would have to think that it cannot get any worse! Well, not when they are all at it.

On October 29, 1956 a group of 11 Border Guard police officers shot to death 49 Arab citizens, including women and children, and wounded 13 at the outskirts of Kfar Qassem. See Kafr Qasim massacre 50th anniversary and (part2) then the red flag The Scorpion and the Frog to the just published

From massacre to Lieberman
Lieberman to use 'emergency' claims to justify ethnic cleansing
YNet Published: 10.30.06, 17:08 ..by Tamar Gozansky

Judge Benjamin Halevy wrote in the verdict, that the police officers carried out a cold-blooded murder lacking any legal justification.

The responsibility of prime minister and defense minister Ben Gurion for the massacre was never investigated.

The irony of fate is that while marking 50 years since the massacre, again racism has the upper hand and Avigdor Lieberman joins the government - a politician who rejects Arab citizens' civil rights and calls for expelling them from the country. The massacre in Kfar Qassem was carried out under the cover of a war that Israel, along with Britain and France, launched on the very same day against Egypt, which was then described as the "center of evil."

While Olmert views the addition of Lieberman and his new-fascist party to the government as a lifesaver for his faltering coalition, for Israeli society this move is akin to a death sentence to the chances for peace, democracy, and civil and human rights.

In the last elections campaign, Lieberman engaged in a propaganda campaign in two languages: For Hebrew speakers he marketed softer messages, while Russian-language signs read: "Lieberman – a strong man for a strong people". The term "strong man" does not refer to his physical attributes. Through this term, Lieberman already marked himself as an Israeli dictator, who in the best of fascist tradition will "put the country in order" and promote ethnic cleansing.

There's that Russian mafia thing again. They are everywhere. Decades ago, Israel was as honest/dishonest as anywhere. Now, it's a cesspool. They are unfit to rules themselves never mind Jewish Arabs.

Opinion rendered by prosecution calls for criminal probe of PM
H A A R E T Z ...Wed., October 25, 2006 Cheshvan 3, 5767
By Yuval Yoaz, Haaretz Correspondent
.

An internal opinion in the State Prosecutor's Office, which has yet to be adopted by the state prosecutor or the attorney general, recommends that a criminal investigation against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert be opened without delay. He is suspected of having acted to further the interests of two businessmen friends from abroad while serving as acting finance minister in 2005. The state prosecution is investigating suspicions that Olmert interfered with the tender for the controlling interest in Bank Leumi to benefit businessmen S. Daniel Abraham and Frank Lowy. Olmert is also suspected of a conflict of interest through a law firm headed by Prof. Yossi Gross, Olmert's father-in-law, who dealt with Lowy's affairs in Israel. In addition, Abraham had previously bought Olmert's Jerusalem home, at a price that was allegedly too high, while letting Olmert continue to live there and pay relatively low rent. It is thought that Abraham is one of the consortium of private investors trying to receive approval from the Bank of Israel to purchase control of Bank Leumi, along with the group of Cerberus Capital Management and Gabriel Capital Management, which won the tender in November 2005.

Olmert's relationship with both businessmen is suspected of being tainted by bribery, fraud and breach of trust.

Attorney Michael Dvorin wrote to Mazuz to urge a police investigation of the allegations of corruption. He wrote. "If police know that a criminal offense took place, they must open an investigation." "For the inquiry to proceed via the prosecution before a police investigation has been opened is like putting the cart before the horse."

Retired Police Maj. Gen. Ya'acov Borovski, told the Knesset State Control Committee on Monday morning that the State Comptroller's Office has new evidence "significantly tying Olmert" to improper political appointments made during Olmert's tenure as industry, trade, and labor minister. In a special hearing on the appointments, Borovski said the evidence suggests "Olmert and the Industry, Trade, and Labor Ministry administration were directly involved in the political appointments in the Small Businesses administration.""The material arouses suspicions of criminal acts,"

Who takes over if Olmert goes to jail? Lieberman !!!

How many crooked Israeli politions is that so far? Scorpion

[ise]

The principle is simple: The enlightened top echelons control the country through the legal system.

from...Mazuz's puppet show ..Published: YNet 10.31.06, 23:32

• Sharon learnt; if you behave and expel Jews from Gush Katif, we'll ignore the indictments.
• Haim Ramon learnt; if you'll try to force the committee in charge of appointing judges to keep a protocol, you'll be instantly removed.
• Lieberman came out strongly against the Israel Police and state prosecutor, but as he enters the government, he does not attempt to fix what was wrong.

As Lieberman got closer to entering the government, immediately his old investigation was sped up by the AG. The results has been waiting for eight years, preventing him from serving as minister of internal security, but the results wouldn't come. Now, the investigation is renewed and its results will match Lieberman's conduct, good or bad! And he knows it.

He like Sharon internalized the legal system's domination over Israeli public life. His entry into the government under the current terms marks complete surrender to the "big brother" that pulls the puppets' strings. So he will behave. If not, the investigation will turn into an indictment like with the crook Sharon. Unlike Haim Ramon, former minister of misjustice, who was instantly and disgracefully removed from the government. He was also a blood sacrifice for the Lebanon/Hezbollah fiasco.

And so it continues, with the real powers pulling the strings of the willing puppets; the more than plentiful supply of crooked corrupt politicians, many of them trained in the USSR and still with Russian mafia connections.

The proof is in the pudding as we say in Ireland. Name me one 'democratic' country that has come even remotely close to having as many corrupt politicians. Our Zionist 'friend' (see The Scorpion and the Frog) once claimed that I only highlighted his countries normal corrupt politicians. I wonder does he still hold that view. Every week there are new scandals. It would not hold up in a US sitcom where you could expect a Sharon 'resurrection' any day soon. [Watch this space]

Yes, you have corrupt politicians in the US, but nothing on the scale of Israel. Personally, I would not fancy the eunuchs that are so prominent in the US now. Give me a real man like Bill Clinton any day even if his cigar smoking habits were a bit kinky.

Remember, it is Zionist lobby monies that really is the heart of most of the corruption that exists in political life in the US. US tax money goes to Israel, to go back in the deep pockets of the majority of US politicians who cannot get elected without the Zionist funds. Why not cut out the corrupt and corrupting middleman, Zionist Israel, and instead properly finance your candidates? Too simple and straight forward I'm sure?

Haim Ramon's attorneys suspect police eavesdropped on PMO
By Yuval Yoaz, Haaretz Correspondent ...update - 27/10/2006

Former justice minister Haim Ramon's defense attorneys suspect police may have used wiretaps in the Prime Minister's Office in connection with the allegations Ramon forcibly kissed a female soldier. The wiretapping suspicions are based on a document contained in the investigative material submitted to Ramon's attorneys. Sources at the Justice Ministry refused to comment on the document directly but said that, "to remove all doubt, there was no wiretapping in the Prime Minister's Office of Justice Minister Haim Ramon."

Who authorised the tape. Surely any taping within the PM's office would require authority of the very highest. Normally this would be from the justice minister himself, the very person being eavesdropped on! This makes no sense unless when there is a government within the government. Some democracy? It's a bit like the old days of the FBI and HOOVER.

The document, written by the Police Fraud Investigation Unit head Brigadier General Miri Golan, raises the possibility that the head of the Police Investigation and Intelligence Department, Major General Yohanan Danino, decided to use wiretaps without her permission, as part of the investigation against Ramon. The alleged purpose of the wiretapping was to find out whether Shula Zaken, head of the Prime Minister's Office, pressured the complainant against Ramon not to pursue the case.

God, this story gets worse and worse. Wiretaps within the PM's office "without permission" and attempts to dissuade the complainant from complaining from within the PM's office. I suppose this was without the knowledge of the PM:rolleyes: , ye sure. That this could be considered indicates a level of corruption far worse that even I considered before. :(

According to Golan's letter, no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Zaken was found. The document states that on July 20th, 2006, an officer informed Golan that Danino had needed to see her urgently, and when he didn't find her, requested information gathered in by one of the wiretaps. Danino reportedly said it was in connection with the "harassment of a female soldier in the office of the military secretary to the prime minister." At that point, according to the document, it was unknown the target of the investigation was the former Justice Minister Haim Ramon. Zaken was questioned by police regarding the matter, but was not charged with any crime.

Zaken, head of the Prime Minister's Office, was investigated for attempts to pressured the complainant not to pursue the case against Ramon. Is there no end to the level of corruption in Israel???

Mazuz: Speed up Lieberman probe

By REBECCA ANNA STOIL ...Updated Oct. 26, 2006 4:47


.

Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz called on police to speed up the seven-year-old investigation into MK Avigdor Lieberman, who is suspected of maintaining illegal contacts in Russia and of campaign financing irregularities in the 1999 elections.

The investigation also ran into trouble over illegal wiretaps by Cmdr. Moshe Mizrahi, who allegedly collected information about Lieberman in excess of court orders in 1998 and 1999 allowing the police to wiretap Lieberman's phone in order to determine whether Lieberman had ties to Russian underworld figures.

Is anything done legally in Israel??? Wiretapping appears to be rampant and at the VERY HIGHEST level of government. Inquires appear to be turn on and off on a whim!

When he was putting together the coalition, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert asked Mazuz for his opinion about Lieberman, and Lieberman had previously pushed for the position of internal security minister, one of the ministries that Mazuz told Olmert was off-limits.

I'll repeat that again. Mazuz responded that he didn't think Lieberman should be a minister responsible for the law enforcement system. Now the same AG can OK the same crook, Lieberman that he black balled sometime previously. This must be the poacher turned gamekeeper scenario! at its very best. The expression used to be "only in America", well it should be "only in Israel".

Police said in response to Mazuz's comments Wednesday that[PHP] "obviously, there are differences among the thousands of files and suspicions that are being investigated" and emphasized that "especially in cases involving fraud, breaking of public trust and international and financial offenses there are many factors that the Israel Police cannot control and thus occasionally the investigations take longer than desired."[/PHP]

Again I'll state the police words about the new vice-PM?. "especially in cases involving fraud, breaking of public trust and international and financial offenses" Can you believe these words from the Israeli police.

A senior police officer emphasized that [php] "the police are doing everything in their ability to advance and complete as soon as possible all investigations, and especially those that affect public figures."[/php]

This is easier than shooting fish in a barrel

Israeli politicians go on trial

Trials have begun of two Israeli politicians, in separate cases that are among a number involving senior figures accused of wrongdoing. Former Justice Minister Haim Ramon is charged with sexual misconduct; Tzahi Hanegbi is charged with making illegal appointments as environment minister.

Mr Ramon is charged with forcibly carrying out an indecent act when he kissed a female solider and inserted his tongue in her mouth.

Now, I would not fancy this sleazeball within a mile of my mouth but his alleged crime is relative minor compared to the list of crimes that Israeli politicians have a tendency towards.

Charges against Mr Hanegbi include fraud, election bribery and perjury. Correspondents say allegations of sleaze at the top of Israeli politics have shaken the establishment and caused dismay and disillusionment among already jaded voters. The alleged scandals come amid widespread dissatisfaction at the performance of Israel's leaders during the recent war in Lebanon.

I'm not surprised that "allegations of sleaze at the top of Israeli politics have shaken the establishment and caused dismay and disillusionment among already jaded voters"

As to the "widespread dissatisfaction at the performance of Israel's leaders". Well, I'm surprised that they have time for ANY work other their non-work 'performance' of one form or another.

By the way, you never explained how you don't contradict yourself in pointing those corruption affairs against Zionism while taking most of your material from Israeli media, based on investigations by Israeli police and justice systems, aren't those facts a proof of a law abiding country fighting corruption on the highest places in its government ? that people are equally obligated to the law no matter what is their place in society ?
