Scandal closes on Sharon
Jerusalem - Ariel Sharon and his two sons are again under close legal scrutiny, but experts predict little fallout for the Israeli prime minister's political future and immediate ability to handle the country's affairs.

Sharon's son Gilad has been questioned over alleged campaign financing irregularities and a land deal. His insistence on remaining silent has raised suspicion he was covering up for his father and that the family had something to hide.

"The moment of truth will come soon, when Sharon himself and his other son Omri are summoned for questioning" in what is known as the Cyril Kern affair, political analyst Eitan Gilboa explained.

1. interesting all the scandals

US UK Israel. elitism is an equal opportunity employer

""But it is going to be very difficult to implicate Sharon directly in this case. He will probably make sure to be seen as cooperating with the investigation but claim he knew nothing, and his sons will cover him," he predicted."

He knew nothing... he knew nothing... how then will the moment of truth come soon?

this is interesting to, but hardly worth even pointing out the hypocracies abound they seem to have little meaning.


"Sharon and his sons' silence is a fundamental democratic right but an Arab who remains silent is automatically presumed guilty and this case shows that there are two legal systems in Israel, one for Jews and one for Arabs," he said."

so close yet so so far from a real democracy. I guess definitions vary as well.

I certainly know in the USofA one must keep ones eyes peeled these days and hope nothing occurs to kick in that quarantining...once that enforcement of that Patriot Act II goes into effect many American's might finally begin to scratch their heads. That is what it will take it seems. Visual Aid.
