Haaretz: Adelsons told police Sara Netanyahu is 'crazy' and 'decides everything'

Multi-billionaire Sheldon Adelson, once Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s key supporter, and his wife Miriam testified to police that Sara Netanyahu was “crazy” and that “she decides everything,” including key appointments and even some political matters, in the Netanyahu household, Channel 13 reported Sunday.


“She’s completely crazy,” said Sheldon Adelson, publisher of the Israel Hayom daily. “She was compulsive about photos of herself and how she looked. She said ‘I’m the first lady, I’m a psychologist and I teach children about psychology.’ ... She would tell my wife that if Iran attacked it would be her fault … because we didn’t publish good pictures of her,” said Adelson, a leading donor to Israeli and Jewish causes as well as to the Republican Party.


Dr. Miriam Adelson told police that Sara chooses the people who work with the prime minister. “She chooses the workers, the people around him, the staff, his secretary. Then she knows everything that goes on,” she said. When asked if Sara Netanyahu influences governmental appointments, Adelson said, “Those too, I believe.”

about Netanyahu that claimed he was afraid of his wife. At the time it made me laugh.

Who knows what is really going on other than they are both corrupt. Sara thinks the Israeli taxpayers should pay for her sushi deliveries and personal spending habits. Bibi is as big a con artist as his buddy Donald. The only difference is that Netanyahu can actually speak English.

And he's trying to screw with netanyahoo, and the Israeli election.
Just stupid media distractions, IMO.
