How else to explain the fact that every great patriot in recent memory has been dogged by charges of corruption?
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is but the most recent sacrificial lamb. He has been deemed "corrupt" even though the courts have dismissed all but the most petty of claims against him. So he is obviously only a little bit corrupt, which can be forgiven by all but the most anti-Semitic commentators.
Governing the State of Israel is no job for cringing light-weights. What with those existential threats glowering from all sides, it is easily understandable that a candidate might forget the source of a few millions of campaign contributions. There are bigger fish to fry, as the saying goes.
And while the Heroes of the Holy Land are frying the big fish, the nay-sayers and nit-pickers are hovering over them, waiting for a false move or evidence of some undocumented expenditure.
It's not the Palestinians who will undo the Promised Land; it's the petty bureaucrats in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
