The arrest of "leftist" Jonathan Pollack by undercover police at his workplace, the editorial board of the Haaretz newspaper, provokes a stir in the left. A new martyr was born.

Pollack was arrested after refusing to appear in the Criminal Court hearing filed by him with "Until Here!" On the day of his arrest, he wrote on the newspaper website where he was employed: "We must cross the lines, and violate the law. Despite the cost, we must join the children of the stones and the Molotov cocktails." This clear incitement to violence and terrorism was later removed from the site.

A criminal complaint is a procedure set out in the law, where a private individual can initiate criminal proceedings against another for certain offenses, and an assault is one of them. According to an organization up to this point, Jonathan Polak attacked IDF soldiers during the regular riots in Bil'in and Na'alin.

You can only be amused by the shock and consternation that hit the "Haaretz" districts, whose editorial termed the arrest as "political persecution." For years, the left-wing associations have been conducting a legal attrition system against Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, turning the Supreme Court into a playground for their legal-political antics. They dragged the political dispute to court, and now found that someone had moved the cheese to them.

Polk's "friend of the fight", Advocate Michael Spain, explained that "until now! Achieving his goals is inciting his opponents and bullying them. Substantial legal proceedings are part of the organization's repertoire. "He further added that this complaint" is a clear case of misusing legal proceedings to strike a political opponent, and as such it threatens to turn the court into a political party server tool. "

And the worst part of Spain's opinion is that an organization is here! Is not the direct casualty of the same attack by IDF soldiers, and therefore does not have a "standing right" in the legal field. Shamu Sky, make the court a tool of a political party? Harass the political opponents by initiating criminal proceedings against them?

Statehood emanates from Spain's article and editorial in Haaretz, which cried out that "the private grievance must not be turned into a tool of political persecution" and the legal arena should not be abandoned to "self-serving national interests."

It is almost impossible to forget that Peace has now filed several petitions to the High Court demanding that criminal proceedings be taken against senior settlers in Judea and Samaria, the regional councils, and a charter movement for illegal construction.

Peace Now, which is not directly affected by those illegal construction offenses, has not refrained from repeated attempts to turn the court into a political party server tool. Its activists asserted national interests, arguing that criminal law must be enforced.

And these petitions did not remain in the air. Following that, the state began investigations. The High Court judges, as usual, leave them pending as babysitters, and ask the prosecutor's office to update how the criminal procedure is shaping up as a server for a political party.

There might have been a right to teach a lawyer about Spain if he had not been informed of these petitions. The problem is that he who is signing a peace petition now, and who is systematically harnessing the criminal enforcement system for his political needs, without standing and in the national interest, is Michael. Spain itself.

But as you know, it's not the same.
