Ha'aretz went for the jugular: "The
public expects its representatives to
make do with their monthly salaries
and not be tempted to accept gifts,
which could affect the recipient's judg-
ment. Nor was this a reasonable one-
time gift that one friend gives anoth-
er.
Writing on the same page, colum-
nist Dan Margalit, argued: "The is s ue
has nothing to do with criminality,
but rather with norms. In a country
whose president receives half a million
dollars from a tycoon who is not a rel-
ative, it is impossible to put a junior
civil servant on trial for having accept-
ed a bribe in return for a building per-
mit."
Margalit, a former Washington cor-
respondent who blew the whistle on
then Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's
illegal American bank account 23
years ago, broadened the attack on the
president. "Weizman will destroy
much more than just the presidency,
because he is not prepared to represent
the minority in this country; because,

Shimon Peres,
it seems, might
gain the only job
he still craves.

after an Israeli withdrawal from the
Golan Heights, he will lack the moral
authority to heal the wounds in our
society; and because he sets such a
poor example as to how civil servants
should act."
In truth, Ezer Weizman has more
critics than enemies. His is the story
of Sabra Israel, in war and in peace,
this last half-century. When he fig-
ured in a This is Your Life TV pro-
gram in the 1970s, the nation came
to a halt. He is a rude charmer, a
chivalrous male chauvinist. When he
was accused not long ago of shooting
from the hip, he retorted that the
gunslinger who didn't shoot from the
hip ended up dead on the saloon
floor.
So if he does have to resign, few
will dance on his political grave. A .
few months ago, after he had his gall
bladder removed, it was whispered
that he would step down this spring
when he completed seven years in
office. Sadly, he may no longer have
that honorable option. Li
