Israel's prime minister scammed revered Holocaust memorial
nypost.com — Israel's prime minister scammed his country's revered Holocaust memorial, a charity for disabled children and other groups out of $100,000 in a brazen double-billing scheme, investigators said yesterday. They said Ehud Olmert personally ran the fraud and used the money to finance lavish family trips abroad.

- FrankHope, on 07/13/2008, -2/+12They said Olmert often spoke abroad on behalf of groups like the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, a charity for mentally disabled children, and a support group for Israeli Defense Force soldiers. But he would have Rishon Tours send the same bill for his trips to each of the groups, as if they were the only one paying.
A senior police officer with the national fraud unit said Rishon Tours "acted like a bank branch for the Olmert family." Police raided the Rishon Tours offices recently and seized documents. They said Ehud Olmert personally ran the fraud and used the money to finance lavish family trips abroad. - jfzimmermann, on 07/13/2008, -10/+9The real Germans I know say the Hollowcast NEVER HAPPENED! (Another Jewish con?)
- barandon0D9, on 07/14/2008, -3/+4Its true, the Hollowcast never happened, as far as I know.
- Tangaroa, on 07/13/2008, -0/+7That's low. I can't believe the government hasn't fallen yet with all of the other scandals of the past few years, but defrauding charities and a Holocaust memorial? That should really shake things up. The only problem with Olmert resigning is that Haim Ramon might be a bigger idiot.
- MarkusGarvey, on 07/14/2008, -1/+1i google Haim Ramon and get nothing?...
- Tangaroa, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1The Vice Prime Minister. I don't know exactly how the line of succession works in Israel, but it stands to reason that he is high on the list of replacements if Olmert resigns. He also recommended expelling the entire town that the bulldozer terrorist came from. The last thing Israel needs is a hothead as Prime Minister.
From WaPo:
"On Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon suggested rerouting the barrier between Israel and much of the West Bank so that it would exclude numerous Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem -- including Edwyat's Sur Baher -- and lock many more Palestinians out of Israel."

Olmert's socialist-leftie government is rotten to the core and the sooner they are all relocated to the jail the better.
- MarkusGarvey, on 07/14/2008, -1/+1i google Haim Ramon and get nothing?...
- badfish0116, on 07/14/2008, -6/+4Where is the ADL on this matter?
- RoflcopterFUEL, on 07/14/2008, -5/+5***** the ADL
- RoflcopterFUEL, on 07/14/2008, -8/+7If you want more read "The Holocaust Industry" by Norman Finkelstein. It tells you how the Swiss and Germans were robbed and had their money milked dry due to Holocaust "compensation."
- rexblade, on 07/14/2008, -3/+11Well thats just impossible. Corruption in Israeli government? Excuse me while i scream ANTI SEMITE BURN BLASPHEMER!!!....
Yes thats sarcasm. - ElCheLikesAudi, on 07/14/2008, -1/+3Wow that low man I can't believe it, now I know why my friend wanted to leave.
- gerbil20, on 07/14/2008, -3/+3It is great that they've nailed this leftie arsehole.
Olmert must rot in jail together with his peace-in-our-time minions.
- foopirata, on 07/14/2008, -0/+3Prime-Ministers in Israel, those with real balls, left the government for much less - in those times there was accountability and responsibility. This worm must be made to leave the chair as soon as possible, there seems to be no end to the shame and disgrace he brings upon the country.
