How does a government minister with a $900 per month salary, which might come to $2,000 with perks, afford a $2 million mansion in Aleppo, Syria?Labels: Bashar al-Assad, Syrian uprising, Vogue

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

"Almost half an hour after Al Arabiya posted the news online, the minister removed the picture from his Facebook page as well as all the greetings he received."
Well, duh! If you're going to be a kleptocrat (Mark Steyn-invented word describing corrupt third world "public servants"), it's really smart to be discrete about your thievery. Especially when your regime is struggling to survive against the will of it's people, who it's killing in the thousands.
The other side of the coin, boasting about the fruits of your thievery on your Facebook page, is pretty stupid.
