Corruption of the courts and the legal profession is central to the socio-economic crisis in Israel 

 
Conduct of the Israeli Supreme Court, led by Presiding Justice Ashe Grunis in the Ashkenazi petition, should be deemed fraud, breach of loyalty, violation of oaths of office, and patronage by the Israeli Supreme Court of organized state crime in the debtors' courts.

It should be noted that conduct of simulated litigation is an extra-judicial activity -- criminality that is not covered by any immunity. 


According to the 2012 Annual Report of the Israeli Enforcement and Collection Authority:

  • In a nation of some 8 millions, there were almost 2.8 million open cases in 2012. Assuming that each case affects a household of more than one person, it is likely that an unbelievable half of the residents of the State of Israel, or more, are currently victims of the State perpetrated fraud in the debtors courts!

  • Over 90% of the debtors are individuals, and 60% of the cases are opened by banks and corporations as debt-holders.

  • Almost 95% of the debtors are not represented by an attorney, but almost 95% of debt-holders are represented.

Unprecedented corruption of the Israeli courts over the past decade is closely correlated with the vast increase in poverty and homelessness, and wide gap in asset and income distribution in Israel. The routine fraud in debtors' courts is central to such conditions, and has been the subject of routine protests and demonstrations with no response at all by the Israeli authorities.

Such conditions in the Israeli courts -- routine fraud on the people by banks, judges, and attorneys, are remarkably similar to conditions in the United States today, as the foreclosure-fraud epidemic. And as is the case in the State of Israel today, US experts opine that the scope of fraud in the courts in the United States today is unprecedented.


The Israeli High Court of Justice -- national court for protection of rights -- is effectively closed for over ten years 

 
The Israeli Supreme Court and the Israeli High Court of Justice should be deemed incompetent courts. They have run for over ten years with no lawfully appointed "Chief Clerk". The Israeli courts themselves ruled that a court with no lawful Office of the Clerk is an incompetent court. 


On October 31, 2013, "Chief Clerk" Sarah Lifschitz "departed" from the Supreme Court. The "departure" of Ms Lifschitz followed the filing on October 15, 2013, with the Israel Police and the Israeli Attorney General of a criminal fraud complaint against Presiding Justice Asher Grunis, relative to the false appearance of Ms Lifschitz for over 10 years, as "Chief Clerk", with no lawful appointment.

In recent days, Ms Idit Meloul has been listed as "Chief Clerk" on the web site of the Israeli Supreme Court. However, there is no official publication of her appointment in the official State Register (Reshumot), and Israeli media remain entirely mum on the departure of Ms Lifschitz from the Supreme Court and the purported appointment of Ms Meloul as Chief Clerk. Response by Presiding Justice Grunis is still pending on a request for a copy of Ms Meloul's appointment record...

The Ashkenazi petition vividly shows how the Israeli national tribunal for protection of rights -- the High Court of Justice -- operating with no lawful Office of the Clerk, is effectively closed.

Presiding Justice Asher Grunis must resign 

 
Current conditions in the Israeli Supreme Court are a constitutional crisis in a nation with no constitution.
