There are different approaches in medicine and psychology about the right ways to break bad news to a person: slowly and indirectly, quickly and directly, or a combination of the two.
There is no dispute about one thing - the recipient of the good news will feel denial, anger, bargaining, depression, adaptation and reconciliation (Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross).
Israeli democracy has been sick and slowly dying for decades.
The first clear sign was in the Mizrachi Bank ruling, given in 1995. In it, the judicial authority, through the creativity of President Aharon Barak, acquired superiority over the other authorities in the country, primarily the legislative authority.
For his part, the Attorney General also worked to increase his power and strength at the expense of ministers, Knesset members and prime ministers.
That is, at your expense, the public, who sent their elected officials to implement the policy they want to promote.
Thus, in a combined process, the court and the legal advisory system for the government, including the attorney's office, worked to strengthen each other's strength and power, until their corruption and corruption fell on the entire governmental system in Israel.
One of the many manifestations of the enormous power of the attorney's office is the castration and beheading of anyone who tries to establish an effective and independent audit system to oversee the work of the attorney's office.
Ask the retired judge Hila Gerstel: the state auditor authorized to audit the state's representatives in the courts, devoid of any legal teeth to carry out an effective audit, and backed by sanctions for trusting the rule of law.
how convenient.
Thus, one of the most powerful bodies in the country, which determines the destinies of citizens and soon also of presidents, prime ministers, ministers and Knesset members, conducts itself without any criticism, armed with enormous power.
You cannot replace the members of this body by ballot.
He was simply not chosen by you.
The absolute immunity from effective criticism or impeachment at the ballot box, which the attorney's office enjoys alongside its great power, has led to the corruption and abuse of the law enforcement system that is essential to any democracy.
The latest revelations in the Mahash case - which allegedly link Shai Nitzan, the former state attorney, and the former attorney general, Avihai Mandelblit, to conduct that is contrary to the law - join a chain of events in which the prosecutor's office acted improperly and motivated foreigners in a way that directly conflicts with the most fundamental principle in democracy - the rule of law. according to which those entrusted with law enforcement are also subject to the law. Their actions in the case, as claimed, are prima facie evidence that the public prosecutor's office and the police have put themselves above the law in a hand-washing method. Israel is no longer a democracy.
The most disturbing conclusion in the conduct of the prosecutor's office, the police and the attorney general in the recent revelations is one - our ability as citizens to know that the administration of justice will act with integrity and in accordance with the law has been severely damaged.
And as for the Netanyahu cases, well Netanyahu is just an excuse, manipulation and a smoke screen to cover up the many long-standing system patients.
It's not Netanyahu who needs to worry, it's each and every one of you.
Dear citizens, I am sorry to inform you: democracy is dead.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
