As both the US and Israel degenerate into barbarism, Israel still maintains laws againt the powerful. Surprisingly the President was indicted for rape and the premier for bribery. They would probably be given Medaals of Freedom in the US. this may be due it a still partially independant media. the political theater might still hve sume political substance. I wouldn’t think for long.

Olmert is a butcher, and we Americans were forced by our Israeli-occupied
Report thisCongress to subsidize and endorse his butchery. Why the hell should we care
whether he’s got some unpaid Israeli library fines or speeding tickets? If he’s been
“breaching the trust” of the greedy, ethnic supremacist taxpayers of Israel, well,
they deserve that, and plenty worse. They deserve a million Olmerts, and a billion
Madoffs.
