"I thought the 4000 case
would not have come to the world air if Netanyahu had not been in power. To put positive coverage in the formula of bribery is on the verge of delusion. This is my opinion, I am a long time in the media, I am aware of give and take, this is a matter of dosages In the investigation and in the media. There is a relationship of horse trade at the most beastly level in the media. It promotes DNA. It is almost without exception, it does not characterize one side of the media, it is in everyone ...
"I thought we marked in advance, shot the arrow and then marked the target, I did not have a fair chance in front of the investigating authorities. I thought it was an addictive game. I thought my chances of getting an indictment because of law enforcement, because of media pressure, My evidentiary situation was very motivated by the authorities and also in the parts of the media to get into a state of indictment and that is what I think today ...
"During the 15 days of detention, my belief that this is an investigation, Case 4000, is real and serious with no extraneous considerations - was close to zero. I thought it was an investigation that is more persecution than an investigation, and the dragon means, and I have the absolute confidence in this investigation. " (From the words of State Witness Nir Hefetz in the Jerusalem District Court this week).
Yes, yes, these obvious things, on an arrow before the goal, said a state witness! That is, a witness on behalf of the prosecution, not the lieutenant colonel who has been shouting it down his throat for more than four years. More so, because the state witness not only did not support the prosecution's version, but also explicitly acquitted the defendant.
Remember the hearing for Netanyahu?
The hearing during which Advocate Ben-Ari flew on a safari in Africa? And how were we told that the prosecution would come to the hearing "with an open heart and a willing mind"?
Yes, very much wanted. Because after what has been revealed over the years Innocence, for truth, for the law of human dignity and liberty? Why all the nice talk about justice, human rights and democracy? Of the State of Israel is in a messianic complex in which he must save the Jewish DNA from the Prime Minister.
I think the time has come to change the definition of Lincoln's democracy from the Gettysburg speech.
This is not "the rule of the people by the people for the sake of the people," but the rule of Mandelblit by Mandelblit for the sake of Mandelblit.
What a timing of the leak, the
synchronization is perfect with object evidence. Truly the grace of heaven. Look what it is, Mandelblit's flagship trial is in full swing. In the Jerusalem District Court, prosecution witnesses appear one after the other and contradict the thesis of the indictment. Mandelblit pressed. is very. He hurried to brief his colleagues in the media. 30 reporters and editors in Haaretz. Extensive recording and leakage potential. It did not bother him. Maybe that's the direction.
God forbid there is no talk of the strength of the evidence in the cases, improper means of investigation, negligent indictment or trifles such as these. Mandelblit came to tell how he saved Israeli democracy. Or as an object defined - they marked a goal and went fishing. According to the ombudsman, he waged a war against an elected prime minister, all because Netanyahu intended to appoint judges and jurists who were not acceptable to him. The Haaretz journalist beats a lesson in democracy.
Because if, in Mandelblit's view, Netanyahu endangered the country, and therefore it is his job to oust him in a criminal proceeding, what next?
Will a district psychiatrist issue a forced hospitalization order to save democracy?
The fact that Haaretz journalists sat there, heard the things and did not shout, probably proves that their hatred of Netanyahu made them think.
Because Mandelblit's messianic and disturbing words are terrifying.
So let me disagree on democracy according to Mandelblit.
Hope this is still allowed.
No official, senior as he may be, is above the sovereign.
A precedent-setting and perforated criminal procedure is an illegitimate and undemocratic way to replace an elected leader.
Some detachment and arrogance of the commissioner on his own behalf over the Jewish DNA.
"We were saved by the grace of heaven
," Mandelblit explained the indictment in a briefing leaked to Guy Peleg.
Transcendental intervention and not prosaic matters such as evidence, credible evidence, proper and seamless legal proceedings.
What did the prosecution think?
That by the grace of heaven Netanyahu will surrender and go home with his tail folded, giving up the need to conduct a trial?
What did they think there, that the case would not come up for discussion?
That the coarse sewing will not be revealed?
The embarrassing mistakes?
The wrong actions?
The credibility of the witnesses?
But perhaps because of the grace of heaven, the prosecution did not take into account the DNA of Netanyahu and Elovich. The DNA of those who are willing to fight to the end for their truth.
For their innocence.
Now need to argue and investigate in court, this is no longer a leak to their mouthpieces in the media.
The judges come to work and are not impressed by reprimanded opinion pieces in the caressing press.
Hefetz signed a state witness agreement on March 5, 2018. He was the third to sign.
He was preceded in death by Harry Haru and Shlomo Pilber.
Retired judge Strashnov then suggested to Netanyahu in an opinion column on Ynet to go for a plea deal.
He was the first, and since then we have been in a non-stop campaign with the aim of pressuring Netanyahu to sign a plea deal.
But Netanyahu is fighting.
Does not give up.
And by his stubbornness for his innocence, he allows us all to see the breakdowns and the depth of decay of a power-drunken and unstoppable system.
A system that sees itself as a sacred order, a high caste of the sons of light that preserves democracy by blackmailing witnesses into dirty Stasi-style exercises.
And on a personal note, I can only hope that the things that come up in the trial, and especially in Hefetz's cross-examination, will also bring some of our friends who previously thought Netanyahu should surrender and sacrifice himself - understand the intensity of the injustice and how important it is to face it.
I wish.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
