Though I am not very familiar with this public figure - Gaydamak - its not hard to see where his interests lie,

"Gaydamak has purchased a controlling interest in Tiv Tam, the chain of supermarkets that specializes in non-kosher products and stays open on Saturdays and holidays."

That is to say - his interests - are not in the best interest of those religiously, culturally and traditionally minded Jews from one end. However, I presume that means his interests are not in the best interests of Jews from the traditional perspective. Now one thing that I have been wrestling in my own environment among the Islamic community is the fact that if we - Muslims - were wholly unified on issues such as this - the integrity of a public figure - there would be no way, despite ones billions, to ignore the disapproval of a particular figure. However, the reality is that there is much dissent among us for a number of reasons. Which I can only assume exists among Jews and Gaydamak as well... ah such is life I guess and only God knows best.
