I dunno how much Israeli culture has dealt with his ilk, in the US,  
we have come to expect pederasty, prostitution, tearful confessions,  
litigation, and vast financial empires being built this way. It can  
be a tricky topic, dealing with the "savior of the day".

That being said, I can understand how other cultures, not used to  
frequent savior figures, have to wrestle with such issues, while at  
the same time, cultures *with* savior figures argue over their  
saviors of the day....

That being said, WP is not the target, as WP should not be the  
*source* of information. We repeat what others have said, and we try  
to repeat sources which *can be* targets.

If Yitzhak *wants* to be litigious, I suggest he look at the en  
[[WP:SCN]] team, where the crew works in the constant threat of  
litigation.

Put another way, we let the crazies hoist themselves with their own  
petards.

Less work for us that way.
