The vanity stuck to the justice system

Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit is a straight man. Shi Nitzan, the outgoing State Attorney, believes he is protecting the law from plotting to subvert him. Both, above all jurists, surely know that the possession of innocence is one of the most important elements of democracy. Without it, anyone suspected would have immediately been blamed, as there was no question of his guilt whether eminent jurors indicted him on three counts.

But the vanity, which the Greeks called hubris, probably adhered to our legal system as well. It was it that seduced Mandelblit into believing that he was empowered to decide who was entitled to continue as prime minister, or what a transitional government could do, and it caused Nitzan to undermine the defendant's innocence and believe, perhaps rightly, that the trial court would probably agree with him, judging by the circular he sent For the Attorney General and the Court.

The police led by Alshikh and the Mandelblit prosecutor's office spent tens, if not hundreds of millions of shekels, and tens of thousands of hours of work investigating the serious crimes related to cigar and champagne (which may violate the rule of law, as you know), while most of the investigations into domestic and social violence of women and women are murdered. Deadly roads were neglected and treated with incredible negligence, or suffered from procrastination and shut down from "lack of interest to accumulate." The suspicions of crimes in the police (in addition to sexual harassment and the connection between extras and criminals) and the judicial system (the case of Ruth David was probably not the only one), and the suspicions of criminal leaks and the impeachment of witnesses - were completely ignored. Effie Naveh also did not try to become a state witness in the threats made against Nir Hafetz, perhaps because it is undesirable to know what was done in the purely judicial system.

Another symptom of the arrogance of jurists and the "no-bibi" chorus in the prosecutor's office is their looming refusal to investigate the deep contamination of the investigation process against the prime minister, or to listen to the public's heart, realizing that Israel is in existential danger of total annihilation by a nuclear Iran. Those who do not recognize the gravity of the danger are better off learning the shocking reports of Major General Brick on the IDF's readiness for war. It is difficult for the public, who is not in legal terminology, to understand why, as a sovereign (as long as he adheres to the counsel, of course), he must give up his immediate focus on the danger of extermination to try to save his life and his descendants, and to devote himself exclusively to what lawmakers consider to be an existential danger to the rule of law. Cigars and emotionals. The public does not understand why "the law of the mountain" means sacrificing for the sanctity of the law, sorry, for the sanctity of the interpretation of the "spirit of law" by the jurists, as commanded by Aaron Barak.

The counselor may not have noticed that in Judaism law is not "above all", certainly not above the sanctity of life (in which the legal system has been derided since the prohibition of "neighborly practice"). "These are the laws and laws that man and his people will do," Judaism instructed. "And you have been saved for your very souls," she added, commanding, also, that "mind-boggling repudiation of the Sabbath," whose desecration be sentenced to death on Saturday.

Perhaps that is why the advisor urges us to head down the prime minister's head to preserve our security and our standing in the world, because in his scholarly opinion the acceptance of cigars and champagne, the scented candles and the five-legged is the dreadful danger to "rule of law above all" and a great existential danger to Israel. And it is not only hubris, but also heartbreak, and an incredible disregard for the will of the people and the terrible dangers that threaten him in his efforts to survive.

So please, the noble knights of law, let the "little people" worry first about their existence, focus on the truly terrible danger. The exaggerated concern for the rule of law would be to wait, for the most part, you two years, if only to overcome the devastating chaos you sowed in the political system. And if that's too hard for you, remember that in Jerusalem there are not only judges, but psychologists and psychologists as well.
