Opinion Where did the knights of human rights go? Order is needed in the prosecutor's office Israel today

2022-08-14T21:04:05.490Z


The words of the former head of the National Security Agency Uri Carmel prove: corruption in the first sense of the word is rampant in our law enforcement systems • The loyal citizens of Netanyahu's opponents have a state duty to understand that it is essential to stop giving shelter to the prosecutor's office and the police, just because now "they are shooting quietly" at Netanyahu


It is to be hoped that the article published last weekend in "Haaretz" by the former head of the National Security Service, Uri Carmel, will be a milestone in permeating the understanding of the public, in all its parts and parties, that in our law enforcement systems, and especially in the prosecutor's office, the police and the Shin Bet, corruption in the primary sense of the word: structural breakdowns and disloyalty to the fundamental values ​​that are supposed to be the foundation of their activity.

The serious corruption exposed to us in the prosecutor's office in recent years, chapter by chapter, requires a comprehensive systemic response.

Worryingly, it itself is only a part, albeit a very important one, of an overall regime crisis that has befallen us.

But we must heal the prosecutor's office itself without delay.

Her recovery is urgent as it is urgent to heal the IDF after the Yom Kippur War.

Carmel states in his article, in the case of the deaths of Abu al-Qiyaan and police officer Amadi, that the head of the investigating body, Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh, bypassed the investigating body, Mahesh, and disrupted the investigation in his attempt to gather information about it from the Shin Bet, against the background of his hasty accusations Shabu al-Qiyaan was a terrorist.

Carmel further stated that despite general agreement in the prosecutor's office regarding the lack of guilt of Abu al-Qiyaan, due to the lack of reasonable grounds to suspect him, State Attorney Shay Nitzan ruled that it is impossible to decide the question of his guilt.

A scandalous claim concept is revealed here.

Instead of innocence as a starting point, Nitzan believes that a person is guilty or suspected of being guilty unless proven otherwise.

In a manner typical of his tyrannical approach, this gives the prosecution a formidable deterrent.

Shamefully, the Supreme Court backed up the cover-up of Alsheikh's statement.

The judges refused to review the report of the Audit Commissioner for the Prosecutor's Office, Judge David Rosen, and refused to examine Nitzan's dubious decision. A "magnificent" closing of lines.

Exposing the affair can help Netanyahu's opponents to emphasize the seriousness of the threat to all of us: Bedouins and Yemenis, harassed policewomen and corruption whistleblowers.

It is apparently unrelated to the Netanyahu trial.

Netanyahu is also absent from a series of other serious cases unrelated to him: the cover-up of the pimp in the prisons;

Covering up the Ruth David affair: the suspicion of criminal gang infiltration of the Tax Authority and the Tel Aviv Prosecutor's Office;

The attempt to take over the Institute of Forensic Medicine and its director, Dr. Kugel; the castration of the Commission for the Audit of the Prosecutor's Office (for example, in the case that Carmel described) after the expulsion of the overly aggressive commissioner, Judge Gerstel; the castration of the Attorney General's Office;

Covering up the accusations leveled at the police by Sub-Superintendent Guy Nir;

Covering up the spyware affair with a self-investigation.

All these affairs, which took place on Nitzan's watch, require a state commission of inquiry - both to investigate the personal responsibility of Nitzan and his subordinates, and to clarify the structural failures underlying the serious breakdowns.

And that's without saying anything about the testimony of the deputy head of the Saada police station, a right-wing man (so to speak, this disqualifies his testimony in advance), or about the injustices revealed in the Netanyahu trial.

In any case, the Abu al-Qiyaan case is indeed related to the Alsheikh-Nitzan partnership in the attack on Netanyahu.

Their partnership is the reason for Nitzan's fear that a fight with Elshich "will only do good to those who want to harm the law enforcement system, etc.," as he implied in the published email.

Two dead, a big question mark.

The loyal citizens of Netanyahu's opponents have the state duty to understand that it is essential to stop giving shelter to the prosecutor's office and the police, just because now they are "quietly shooting" at Netanyahu.

This endangers our democratic regime, and will also endanger the public's trust in the legal decision on the charges against Netanyahu, one way or the other.

With the elections just around the corner, the voters must demand that the parties seeking their confidence commit to establishing a state commission of inquiry.

Likud must present an action plan to revive the prosecutor's office.

The voters have a civic duty to demand that Malpid and Mantz clarify whether they continue to swear allegiance to the "system".

Are they afraid of her?

And what do the puritans on the "left" have to say to their voters?

Where did the fake human rights knights go?

were we wrong

We will fix it!
