Members of knesset do not receive “modest public salaries”. They receive 25,000 NIS per month plus expenses and staff. Of course, the ministers make even more than that.

One should note that many if not most Israeli politicians are substantially better off than they were before they became full time parliamentarians. Of course they might have made good investments, or have had a “little tin box” of their own, but it is dubious that their net wealth and standard of living have increased while in theory they were living off of modest public salaries.

This is NOT quite amusing – at least, we shouldn’t be the one’s amused.

Quite amusing. Suddenly someone decides to run for president, and he gets invesgated. Seems like there is a mafia here to decide who gets investigated to stop them from leadership. Probably all of these “government officials ” are corrupt as we saw from Olmert! You think lapid and bibi are innocent?? NO WAY!

“Little tin box”???

– at least he wasn’t doing something that goes against public policy such as funding yeshivos and tsadakos (then they throw the book at you).
