Opinion Turn over every stone: a commission of inquiry is needed Israel today

2022-07-31T20:22:53.322Z


The black cloud over SHBS, the procurement of the submarines and the Miron disaster must be removed once and for all - not in Knesset committees or on social media, but only in an in-depth investigation whose findings will be presented quickly and with maximum transparency


The Marari report, which is expected to be published soon, may apparently contradict the investigation that dealt with the use by the police of spy-type technological means. It is not certain that the findings of the committee that examined it will convince the convinced.

For a month the winds raged and the state reacted following allegations that the police used NSO's spy software to track Israeli citizens, including mayors, CEOs of government ministries and protest activists.

These lines are not written to "enter" the newspaper that published the investigation, but the opposite.

The NSO case is proof that inspection or investigation committees are the best disinfectant for any allegation or suspicion.

In recent days, a testimony of a former guard at Gilboa prison has been published, with allegations that she was raped.

"My commanders, my staff members, who I thought were supposed to protect me, delivered me into the hands of that terrorist. They made sure that I was left alone with him, contrary to the clear procedures, so that he could brutally hurt me and sexually abuse me again and again, and not only me - also other female soldiers Many jailers."

Any sane person understands that such a serious complaint must be fully investigated.

Could it be that officers in Gilboa prison, who are the parents of female soldiers of the age of the complainant's military service, did indeed hand her over to a terrorist so that he would sexually abuse her?

Is it possible that in order to obtain information, any intelligence information of one kind or another, officers in Israel's National Correctional Organization turned a female soldier into a terrorist's sex slave?

The mind cannot bear to think that it was indeed so.

Therefore, it is not important if the commandant of Gilboa prison, who reignited the affair in his first testimony before the government's investigation committee into the escape of the six terrorists, did so as a media vessel to keep the spotlight away from the Shlomial escape.

What is important is to turn every stone now to remove once and for all the black cloud that has been hovering over the prison service for the past few years, as well as over the procurement of submarines and vessels and the disaster in Miron.

Not through the spins of politicians, not in committees in the Knesset and not in the courts of the social networks, but only in an in-depth investigation whose findings will be brought to the public's attention quickly and with maximum transparency.

As the American Jewish judge Louis Brandeis said at the beginning of the 20th century, in his war for transparency: "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
