This week, senior members of the legal and political system attended the legal conference of the Bar Association and participated in the spoken word show known as "The Judicial System Under Attack".
The incident gave off the pungent aroma of an election campaign, but what can we do that the attack on the judicial system always comes from the same camp: this Bibi and his psychopaths.
Prime Minister Lapid politely pointed out that the judicial system is flawed, opposed the invalidation of basic laws (thereby granting the Supreme Court the authority to invalidate ordinary laws), supported the superseding clause (by an impossible majority of 70 MKs) and expressed support for strengthening the mechanism of review of the judicial system (which by Shay Nitzan, and since then the judicial system has enjoyed a complete strengthening of righteousness).
In a much firmer tone, Lapid distinguished between people with pure intentions like himself and Netanyahu's bloc, which he called "this group" and the system's "wishers of harm".
These people have no other purpose than "personal reasons" and "a tool to save influential defendants from their trial".
He was followed by Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar: "The open plan of the Netanyahu bloc will make the alliance of Supreme Court judges a clause in the coalition agreements."
The critics of the justice system from the wrong group are in his eyes "a bunch of extreme anarchists".
Gali Beharev-Miara, the legal advisor to Shamina Sa'ar, spoke about Mishilot.
"The essence of governance in Israel is the exercise of governmental power in an effective manner, which aligns with the Jewish and democratic values of the state," he said, and even defined two types of governance, so that the public would not be confused: the first, "formal and technical governance", which is "whether it is up to the elected echelon to realize the the will of the majority".
By Rabbi Miara he meant democracy, that primitive system in which the public places its values for discussion in the market of opinions and for the public to decide at the ballot box, and its representatives realize these values to the best of their ability and taking into account the limitations of the law and their political power.
But this, friends, is a false rule.
There is a regime of the elite, and it is, according to Behrev-Miara, "an essential regime" that "holds the concept that the governing power is not exercised in a vacuum, but within a value framework".
This framework is too important to be determined by the citizens of the country and their elected representatives.
That's what we have ombudsmen for.
Hayut's faith in the system's political neutrality is as absolute as Isman's faith in the white wall and the firing squad
We have become accustomed to the contempt and disdain with which the coalition leaders treat the public that did not vote for them, i.e.: the dark forces.
Their struggle was joined by the new ombudsman, whose circumstances of her appointment and performance appear to be politically biased, which did not prevent her from adopting with magnificent agility the paranoid hatred towards anyone who dares to question the functioning of the judicial system and the powers she has assumed.
But all of these paled in comparison to State Attorney Amit Isman.
He opened his speech with fond memories of State Attorney Edna Arbel's tenure, noting that back in 2001 she wrote in her Rosh Hashanah letter: "The rule of law and the justice system are under unprecedented attacks."
Even in 2004 Arbel Nahat was not satisfied.
"The law enforcement system that we belong to is still under attack more than once by various parties," she lamented.
This is the place to mention that in 2004 it turned out that Arbel had "renovated" her resume and invented a master's degree for herself.
Should this attack a state attorney?
Not pretty.
Indeed, Arbel was happily appointed to the Supreme Court.
Why not.
Isman refers to criticism - which is commonly called "attacks" in high society - like a permanent natural phenomenon, which has nothing to do with the way the system is run.
He clarified that the judicial system is always conducted impartially, and only according to the evidence.
how does he know
As his predecessors know: "I have known her for over 30 years, and I allow myself to say, as do the members of the panel from the attorney's office."
And if someone dares to claim that from time to time it actually does act in a biased manner, or with a lack of transparency, or is exempt from significant criticism, and perhaps tainted by corruption or a conflict of interest - as happens in any large system?
Eisman has answers for this as well: "a far-fetched attempt that lacks a grip on reality", "an act that will not be done", and the hit - "conspiracy theories".
In the best case, senior members of the judiciary treat the audit like the noise of a leaf blower outside the window.
In the usual case they react to her as another proof of the mob's barbarism,
At the end of his words, Isman demonstrated his bravery in the face of the dark forces, meaning the public: "We will not be deterred by those who threaten to line us up and execute us against a white wall."
Isman referred to a Twitter conversation during which a Likud activist made serious comments and apologized for them.
In Isman's eyes, this is the essence of criticism against the judicial system.
In his mind's eye, he is a weak and persecuted orphan, and not someone who has the power to decide the fates of citizens for freedom or interrogation by torture.
Isman believes with every fiber of his soul in the potential murderers who will execute him in front of a firing squad.
Surely he will defend himself to the hilt against those who seek his soul.
And he will win.
Iseman has more power than all of his critics combined.
We are blessed to have won a judicial system whose members are sure that their values are superior to the values of the public, and that their job is to impose them on him whether he wants it or not, and all this in a state of mind that combines hubris and victimhood.
How is a system run whose leaders treat the public in which they sit with such hostility?
Such a worldview, such open resentment, is not capable of producing justice, fairness and equality before the law.
It is not even able to keep the law, because the law represents the will of the people, and they - what to them and the people?
The public's trust in the judicial system is constantly declining, but according to Isman and Rabbi Miara, the public is a leaf blower, and it can be disconnected from the electricity.
They themselves were dropped from another planet to show the natives the way, and they will not hesitate to use rhetorical or legal means.
Is the justice system under attack?
Definately not.
She was the one who started the attack.
The enemy is us, and to defeat us all means are kosher.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
