When power and greed get out of hand 
The big question surrounding the submarine affair is the role Netanyahu played. If he knew nothing, again, his competence is questionable; if he did know, holy cow. Either way, the familiar moment is approaching Israelis tell their leaders: We’re sick of your corruption (Ynet, July 13).

Beleaguered Netanyahu lashes out at media
'We are in the midst of an unprecedented media campaign aimed at tarnishing me with empty accusations,' prime minister says. 'I will not turn the other cheek, I want to return a few slaps of my own' (Haaretz, July 14)
