Israel's Netanyahu has long been suspected - and more than suspected - of bribery and massive corruption. Indeed, a major reason he had to win the recent election was the hope that would keep him out of jail.
But now, the game may be up.
That really won't make much difference to Israel's warlike ways. There is no significant 'peace party' in Israel.
It might be interesting to see how this plays in the North American press. Israel has a powerful lobby group that is particularly effective in Canada and the U.S. Will they be able to kill this story as they have killed many others? Or will they opt to dump Netanyahu? The North American press and North American politicians have been very, very kind to Netanyahu's Israel. North American Jews have been much less so. I confess that I have - with strong reason - favoured North American Jews and have profoundly disliked the Israeli lobby as bullies and liars.

I just had a note from my daughter in Montreal. She joined the climate March with it's hundreds of thousands of people as it headed to Montreal's city hall.
Then it stopped, and microphones were brought to Greta Thunberg. My daughters was paralyzed by the moment.
Greta Thunberg had stopped just a few feet from her. She began to speak.
My daughter couldn't help herself. She burst into tears.

The disaster of climate change does not just hit the Arctic.

Of course. A great many Americans (and Canadians) hate immigrants.And the only thing to win an election for Trump is hatred.
Those among us who feel that way - and there are millions like that - are the Nazis of our time.
Sieg Heil.

Too true. The bulk of the blame should go on the most vicious and greedy thieves this world has ever seen. Our captains of industry - aka capitalists. But let's not forget the liars and traitors among our politicians and our journalists.

Conditions for native peoples in Canada have always been vile. I particularly remember a news story about an elderly woman who lived in a northern forest in a 'house' hardly bigger than an outhouse. It was made entirely of plywood - with no windows, no basement, no washroom, no insulation. It must have had a stove - though I didn't see one in the picture.
No government has, to my knowledge, ever taken the treatment of native peoples seriously.

In fairness, though, almost all Canadian governments have been huge gifts to billionaires, including huge gifts of money as well as allowing them to avoid taxes - and as well as doing nothing about the damage those billionaires are doing to all of us.
And that will be the death of Canada.

Gosh! American war heroes murder women and children? Who woulda guessed?
I'll have to ask the Canadian Legion whether Canadian heroes have ever done that - say in Korea or Afghanistan.

Not to worry. The real reason for America's huge defence budget is to make huge profits for the capitalists who make these things. (And, no, I am not making this up.) Watch to see whether the Canadian air force gets sucked into buying these.
