The Supreme Court, "Constitutional Revolution" and Human Rights
The circumstances in Mishol's case produced unprecedented documentation of the issuing of an invalid, false and misleading arrest warrant by a Supreme Court Justice, and collusion by the Prison Service highest officers in a scheme to execute unlawful imprisonment.
Such circumstances shed new light on the "Constitutional Revolution", based on Human Dignity and Liberty, declared by then Israeli Supreme Court Presiding Justice Aharon Barak (there is no constitution in Israel). [vii] It should be noted that Judges Richard Posner and Robert Bork found themselves years ago in unusual unanimity regarding Aharon Barak's judicial conduct in this matter. [viii]
Such circumstances also shed new light on Supreme Court Presiding Justice Miriam Naor's repeat declarations regarding the Supreme Court's and her person commitment to " protect human rights and the rule of law". [ix]
Both Barak's and Naor's declarations appear as public relations stunts.
Widespread protest against corruption of the justice system
Events surrounding Mishol's arrest, if indeed executed, is likely to be the focus of small, focused demonstrations by Social Protest activists. The case demonstrates conditions in the Israeli courts today, where judges routinely and deliberately disregard the law and are held entirely unaccountable, even for fraud on the bench.
The Israeli Social Protest movement started in 2011 in response to unaffordable cost of living and growing poverty. The 2011 large protest wave has subsided, and the Social Protest has evolved into smaller, focused protest groups, which are dedicated to specific issues. The common thread to many or most of these groups today is protest against various aspects of corruption of the justice system. In response, the Israeli justice system is engaged in efforts to criminalize the leaders of such protest groups. The cases of Lori Shem-Tov and Moti Leybel, [x] Barak Cohen, [xi] Rafi Rotem, [i] and Shuki Mishol are prime examples of such trends.
However, as shown here -- the criminal prosecution of social protest leaders often documents corruption of the justice system more clearly than ever.
Today's protest against corruption of the justice system is unheard of in the State's nearly 70 year history.
