Haaretz comments: „Omri Sharon’s sentence closed a circle: the son who volunteered to be his father’s bullet-proof vest is paying the price of his sacrifice. Meanwhile, the father who thanks to the son’s devotion became prime minister and realized his life-long ambition, is lying unconscious and unaware of the prison sentence the son has received. On a symbolic level, it is as if physical calamity that befell the father expresses his inability to face the outcome of his behavior and that of his sons: this tight-knit family became enmeshed in unworthy acts for which the piper must be paid. The result is the removal of Omri Sharon to prison, and the decline of the father… The conclusion is inevitable: morality and personal integrity are not highly regarded traits in public life. Israeli voters prefer their candidates devious, aggressive and cunning. Only a small minority of public figures are considered straight as arrows; typically, this behavior brands them as nerds (Benny Begin, Dan Meridor).”
Yediot Aharonot refers to Omri Sharon’s sentencing yesterday on corruption charges and suggests that, „Yesterday, the Tel Aviv Magistrates Court declared war” on corruption. The editors assert that, „On March 28, the voters will join in cleaning out the political stables and it is possible we are starting over with Israeli politics.”
The Jerusalem Post writes: „The inimitable, instantly recognizable voice of Shoshana Damari, who passed away yesterday at age 83, was not silenced. It will continue to resonate in the hearts of those Israelis who hankered for it and responded emotionally to Damari’s exhilarating renditions. She was not just another local crooner. Education Minister Meir Sheetrit was right to eulogize her as ‘the queen of Israeli song.’ He was equally right, sadly, to assert that ‘Shoshana Damari’s death closes an extensive cultural chapter in the history of the state of Israel.’ ”
Yediot Aharonot, in its third editorial, eulogizes beloved singer Shoshana Damari, who died yesterday, aged 83.
Yediot Aharonot, in its second editorial, asserts, „How pitiful the Palestinians are: First, they had the mufti who led them into the abyss. Then there was Ahmed Shukeiry who led them to the heights of ridiculousness. After him came Yasser Arafat who led them along paths of blood, and now Muhammad Zahar [of Hamas], the man who received a finger and wants the entire hand.”
Hatzofeh dismisses the reliability and methodology of opinion polls and suggests that the current polls will be proven false on Election Day.
