Q&A: The Money for Netanyahu
The Money for Netanyahu
Question
As is known, money was collected for Mr. Netanyahu.
Is there a moral flaw in transferring this money to him?
Is there room for public debate on the issue, or is it people’s right to donate to whomever they want?
We’re not talking about tycoons, but ordinary people who donated small amounts.
Answer
Why is there a moral flaw? Everyone who donated knew what they were donating to. The fact that the donation itself is foolish is another matter (which also requires an answer).

Corrections:
People know he (Netanyahu) has money
that was inferred from what he said
Of course, what’s moral is to fund the fat state pensions of Finkelstein and the junta, who with one hand stitch together cases against a sitting prime minister in order to carry out a putsch (with criminal negligence—they can’t even manage to do that properly in the public sector, with their famous amateurism), and with the other hand forbid him from financing his own defense.
The main thing is that there’s a kosher-reform—that’s what really matters.
Who said this isn’t about wealthy people?! After all, the amount was limited to 5,000 NIS per person.
The question contains a hidden assumption that Netanyahu voters are ordinary people.
It pains those receiving state pensions in the public service (the elites among them) to see taxpayers’ money—the people’s—not going to them.
The donation is an expression of support. A kind of going out to a demonstration. People know he doesn’t lack money. There really is something puzzling about a trial with hundreds of witnesses that they promised us would collapse within days; add to that the left’s attack on Aharon Barak when support for Netanyahu was inferred from what he said, and you’ll understand why people feel there is an obsessive persecution of Netanyahu here.
