Israel makes a blunder. How to win enemies and lose friends. Is the USA with us or against us? csmonitor.com
Judith Potter is good [the judge who tried the Israeli criminal citizenship thieves].
But look at the slimeball comments they made: stuff.co.nz
<Both men did compulsory service with the Israeli armed forces, were university educated and active in synagogues and communities. Both were interested in conservation.
Their lawyers said they shared community disgust that a disabled person had been exploited. They had not known - this was reflected in the financial offer to make amends.
Lawyers Stuart Grieve and Grant Illingworth gave the court personal assurances the $100,000 could be paid within a week.
They submitted Barkan was the principal offender. No solid evidence existed Cara and Kelman were involved till the day the passport was to be delivered.
Mr Grieve said Cara, a father of five, had hoped for a new, civilian life on moving to Australia four years ago after retiring from flying light transport planes with the air force.
Cara's testimonials included one from the mayor of his home town outside Sydney. He had a travel business connected to an Israel-based agency promoting eco-tourism in Australia and New Zealand. He had travelled to New Zealand 24 times in recent years for business and family holidays. He put in a lot of time with his son, aged about 12. His son's severe learning difficulties were worsening through separation from his father.
Kelman, who studied mathematics and physics, had a glowing testimonial about his "tireless" voluntary work helping disabled children.
Mr Grieve said international publicity meant the men and their families would now be at risk for the rest of their lives from terrorists aiming at connections with Mossad.>
They should have thought of what they were doing before they got into criminal activity.
Tireless voluntary work for disabled children = haw, haw... yeah right.
<He had travelled to New Zealand 24 times in recent years for business and family holidays. >
Yes, he just wanted to enjoy some sunshine... snigger. What was the business again? Just how many holidays does he have and who paid for the tickets?
Both interested in conservation? Hahahaah!! Saving their bacon more like it. [Hmmm, bacon?!] These guys should be stand-up comedians.
<Both men did compulsory service with the Israeli armed forces, were university educated and active in synagogues and communities. > Heck, you'd think with all that, they'd have learned that crime doesn't pay, and that ethics are good things. You'd think they could get a real job.
Active in the community? What? They went for a run around the community each day to keep fit or what? Just what did they get up to in synagogues? I think their synagogue should check the till to make sure everything is still there.
<they shared community disgust that a disabled person had been exploited. They had not known - this was reflected in the financial offer to make amends. >
This must be the "voluntary work for cripples". They didn't know? The guy lived around the corner from them. What a coincidence that they just got his name out of the phone book or something - yeah right. They knew he wasn't going to be traveling and that they wouldn't get any problems such as his photo coming up in the computer not looking quite like them!
Financial offer not to make amends but to fool the court into thinking there was some remorse and to bribe their way out. They couldn't give a stuff! Whose money was offered anyway? Israel's or their own?
They should have just said "Okay, you caught us fair and square. What's the punishment? We were just trying to defend ourselves against Islamic Jihad and another pogrom and you did see what happens to Jews if Nazis and fellow travelers like the Mufti get power". Adding insult to injury wasn't a good idea. They'd have had some sympathy if they'd been less slimey.
Judith isn't just a pretty face.

PS: Israel is an extension of USA foreign policy so I think this fits here. If NZ declares war on Israel as a result, the USA will either be with us or against us. Hmmm, there's lots of oil in the middle east. Maybe NZ should declare war on Israel, take it over, then take over the rest, from Algeria to Pakistan and Sudan to Chechnya and sort the place out. Give everyone a NZ passport and make them nice Kiwis so they all get along.
We have Zaoui amnesty.org.nz and now these Jews and a LOT more besides, all trying to become Kiwis. Maybe a takeover would be very easy. |
