Coriander is a controversial plant. Some claim that coriander smells and tastes like spoiled soap. Coriander has no middle: either you like it or you hate, and there are quite a few haters - 25,<> people are part of a special Facebook group of coriander haters.
The hatred of coriander even has a scientific explanation: studies show that coriander has a smell that the body interprets as a food that can harm it. Former Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh once boasted that he had a well-developed sense of smell that he used to identify guaibas, liars and coriander. What Elsheikh does not recognize is that just as the body interprets coriander as harmful, so the statements of the coriander smeller can be harmful – and not only to the body, but to the entire State of Israel, to politics, to the judicial system and to the so-called "gatekeepers."

Alsheikh's statement that no one guessed that Netanyahu would not resign is outrageous. There is a large group in the Israeli public that is certain that Netanyahu's files were sewn from the ground up only to move him and the right from power. After many years of injustice between the "elite" and "your people," between the "second Israel" and the "first Israel," between the kibbutzim and the Panthers, it is hard to blame them for these thoughts. Elsheikh fueled these thoughts.
The other segment of the population
There is another segment of the population that does not think that the religious Elsheikh or the close Mandelblit sewed up a dossier, but do feel that the system sought, effortd, pushed, initiated and especially made things worse with Netanyahu in bad faith. Why? Because the pressure from the media is unbearable, because putting an X under your belt on a prime minister is a tempting event, and because something about these systems is a bit arrogant and humbling.
After Alsheikh's remarks, this segment of the population will find it hard to believe that it was all an evidentiary matter and that no political considerations about a change of government hovered somewhere in the air of the decision makers.

Alsheikh continues a very disturbing line regarding Netanyahu's affairs: the judges recommended that the State Prosecutor's Office waive the bribery charge, the police pressured Elovitch to lie, the requests to amend the indictment because of Filber's "instruction meeting," Nir Hefetz's abuse, the use of Pegasus, the interrogation of elderly grandmothers, and more.
Netanyahu's trials exposed disturbing phenomena of selective enforcement, interrogation contamination, extortion of witnesses, concealment of materials, and especially negligence in one of the most important trials since the establishment of the state, which led to multiple election campaigns and created unbearable rifts and rifts in society.
Alsheikh, as well as Mandelblit and Nitzan, have undermined the public's trust in the gatekeepers, and with all due respect to reasonableness, this is the real danger to democracy.
