Netanyahu's sack of woes filling up after Iran deal

[bemildred]

JERUSALEM - Israel's attorney general has ordered a criminal investigation into excessive spending at the residences of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The announcement followed a report by the state comptroller, which said large sums of public money were spent on food, wine, furniture and gardening at Netanyahu's official residence in Jerusalem and a private luxury villa on the Mediterranean coast.

It's an embarrassment for the prime minister as the cost of living for normal Israelis soars. Evening news programs feature almost-daily stories about ordinary families who can't make it through the month.

With wages low, many people simply can't afford to buy a home or other basics. The average apartment costs in the region of $400,000. Food prices are up, and gasoline is running $6.70 per gallon.

2. Partial list...the independent prosecutor has much, much more on Bibi's theft of public funds.

Because political theft and corruption is mainly legalized in America this must all be puzzling to some.

6. if Israelis actually cared about this corruption, they would have voted him out.

But, he's immune to this stuff, all he needs to do is say "Arabs and Iran and Obama and the Left and a Palestinian state will eat your babies" and they fall in line.
