| #4 Ok, here's what's really going on. For years Omri Sharon has acted as a sort of unofficial "go between" for his father with the PLO and Hamas. They respect him even if they don't like him. They also fear him because he knows how they think, not to mention who they are. He is a far more important man than one would think. The Attorney General of Isreal is playing politics, possibly because of the Gaza pullout. By the standards of the Middle East Omri doesn't even begin to qualify as corrupt. |

| #3 And the media will wail away that Ari's family is oh-so-corrupt and that "proves" that Israel is rotten to the core. Conveniently overlooking the fact that all the sons of ME leaders are corrupt layabouts, and that only Israel has the stones to investigate and press charges. |

| #2 I think it really sucks when sons of politicians try to use their father's positions to cash in... |
