First Lady says she's suffered enough

We now have a convicted criminal pulling our PM's strings:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, was convicted Sunday of taking unfair advantage of a mistake, after earlier confessing to the offense as part of a plea deal signed last week in a case involving allegations of illegally procured catering services at the Prime Minister’s Residence... After the verdict was announced, [Sara] Netanyahu told the judge: “I have suffered enough.” The agreement saw Netanyahu escape a conviction of aggravated fraud, but confess to the lesser charge. She will pay NIS 55,000 ($15,210) — NIS 10,000 as a fine, and the rest as restitution. [Times of Israel, June 16, 2019]

In 2012, Bibi Netanyahu revealed to the German newspaper Bild ["How challenging is it to be Israel's First Lady?"], that Sara had pressured him to release 1,027 terrorists in the 2011 Shalit Deal:

Mr. Netanyahu recently told the German newspaper Bild that his wife Sara was the one who convinced him to do the deal, saying, “She was the one who told me, ‘Think of that boy Gilad Shalit... Think of him as if he were our son. Think of him, his mother, his father, and then make the decision’.” [New York Times, June 16, 2012]

So Sara actually has it back to front. It's she who has caused enough suffering for others.

More than half of the releasees in the Shalit Deal, including Ahlam Tamimi, were convicted murderers or even mass murderers. 

Tamimi was the mastermind of the 2001 Sbarro Pizzeria Bombing in which 15 men, women and children - including my daughter Malki - perished. About a hundred of those releasees subsequently returned to terrorism, some even to murder, and were re-captured and re-imprisoned in Israel. 

Tamimi lives happily with her husband and their family in Amman, Jordan where she is brazenly inciting to terrorism. She enjoys the protection of King Abdullah II who has flatly rejected US demands for her extradition despite the 1995 Extradition Treaty that the US insists is legal and binding.

Now was that a plum deal that Sara nudged her hubby to make? Something to ponder as we head to the polls.
