Tzachi Hanegbi

Hanegbi is a Jew with a stupid name, a corrupt politician,  a mother who was a terrorist, a father who was also at it, and a degree in law. He has previous for terrorism after carrying out an attack on Arabs in Israel. He has now been convicted of perjury having gotten away with the charges brought by the government. He was the Minister of Torture Internal Security. These points are merely what the Wiki admits to.

Abraham Burg, Jew, politician and ex-Zionist wants the attorney general sacked. This is odd because he has just followed on from the last one, a Jew called Mazuz because politicians did not realise he was fairly honest. Then he started prosecuting Olmert and other crooks. They cannot have made that mistake twice on the trot.

Political career
Hanegbi was first elected to the Knesset in the 1988 elections, and headed the Prime Minister's Bureau under Yitzhak Shamir. He retained his seat in the 1992 and 1996 elections, and was initially appointed Minister of Health in Binyamin Netanyahu's government, becoming Minister of Justice in September 1996 and dropping the health portfolio in November that year.

He lost his ministerial portfolio after Ehud Barak won the 1999 elections, but returned to government when Ariel Sharon won the special election for PM in 2001. Hanegbi was appointed Minister of the Environment in March 2001, adding the Transportation portfolio to his duties later in the year.

After Likud's convincing win in the 2003 elections, Hanegbi was appointed Minister of Internal Security. In September 2003 he was appointed by Prime Minster Ariel Sharon as minister in the Prime Minister's Office in charge of Israel's intelligence agencies - the Mossad and Shin Bet, and supervised Israel's Atomic Energy Agency.

When Sharon broke away to form Kadima in November 2005, Hanegbi was appointed interim chairman of Likud. On the following day, Hanegbi announced that he was also switching to Kadima, and resigned from the Knesset on 10 December. However, he reappeared in the Knesset in April 2006 after winning a seat in the 2006 elections. Currently he is the Chairman of the Knesset's Security and Foreign Affairs Committee.

Placed fourth on the party's list, he retained his seat in the 2009 elections.

Trial
After a four year trial related to political appointments, on July 13th 2010, a Jerusalem court found the former Justice Minister completely innocent of the prosecution's key charges. The court cleared Hanegbi of all charges related to election bribery, fraud and breach of trust. In a split decision, however, the three judges panel found him guilty of perjury.

The case stems from Hanegbi's denial that he was behind an ad boosting his appointments of Likud party's political activists to positions in the Ministry of the Environmental Protection. The judges verdict cleared Hanegbi of any criminal wrongdoing , accepting the defense's argument that such appointments were not illegal prior to 2004, and that this was the common practice among all cabinet members in all the previous governments since Israel's independence.

Throughout Israel's history, nearly every political leader , including Prime Ministers Ben Gurion , Meir, Rabin, Begin, Shamir, Peres, Netanyahu, Sharon and Olmert , have all made similar political appointments. The court ruled that selectively prosecuting Hanegbi for what was a widespread and common practice was wrong and unfair. Hanegbi was urged by his legal team to appeal the perjury conviction to Israel's High court of Justice. Following the verdict, several prominent leaders and officials publicly defended Hanegbi . Former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg who opposes Hanegbi politically, have called for the firing of the prosecutor by the Attorney General.
