Bar-On: Olmert's Corrupt Cabal Continues Its Reign
Well, Roni Bar-On, Prime Minister Olmert's newly selected Minister of Finance has begun his purge of any remaining responsible and untainted public officials who have stood in the way of, Olmert's corrupt cabinet from leveraging their contacts to conclude irregular business deals.
So we see, once more, how the corrupt cabal headed by Ehud Olmert runs Israel. By not renewing Accountant General Dr. Yaron Zelekha's contract , in essence, Bar-On has removed the only responsible watchdog ever to have served the Israeli public's interest by confronting corrupt businessmen and politicans who have been raping the state, its coffers and its people for years.
In 1997 Bar-On was appointed Attorney General, but resigned as a consequence of heavy criticisms related to the 'Bar-On Hebron' scandal, which involved allegations against officials that they recommended Bar-On to the position in order to aid organized crime.
Here are a few other wonderful tidbits about the replacement for the previously made-to-resign Olmert choice for Finance Minister: Avraham Hirschenson, now under investigation for fraud.
Bar-On, in his capacity as Interior Minister, refused to allot money for Israeli Arabs to build public shelters and warning sirens to escape bombings and violence. The mayor of Nazareth, Ramez Jeraisi, repeatedly requested funds for this purpose, noting that the neighboring Jewish city of Nazareth Illit was provided with the equipment already.
On July 19, 2006, Bar-On verbally attacked Jamal Zahalka, an Israeli Arab MK on the Knesset floor calling him "a snake born to a snake". He added, "I'd be happy if you would join some of your friends in Lebanon to enjoy what they are enjoying now", a reference to Israel's bombing campaign in Lebanon that had commenced a week prior. Zahalka reportedly criticised the government's actions in Lebanon and the high civilian death toll.
Bar-On was severely criticized for "ignorance, arrogance and insensitivity" in a signed article in Haaretz on August 6, 2006, for saying that any municipal worker in the north of Israel who travelled south to seek shelter from Katyushas was a deserter and would not be paid.
So the mafia continues to run the State of Israel and we shall see where it will take us....
