The legal scandal roiling Israel's unelected oligarchy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Adv. A. Amos Fried, a native of Chicago, is a licensed member of the Israel and New York State Bar Associations and has practiced law in Jerusalem for over 32 years.
49% : But then, suddenly, Israel's Channel 12 had a scoop; a surveillance video "miraculously" surfaced purporting to show how the soldiers had violated a particular detainee.
45% : To be sure, only with the unremitting determination of this government and its fiercely ardent ministers will Israel's democracy be freed from the stranglehold of the ruling, unelected oligarchy.
41% : " Such an absurdly outlandish disposition by a Supreme Court justice can only lead us to ponder to what extent Barak-Erez may have been involved in one of the most severe, not to mention harmful, cover-ups Israel has ever known.
41% : Indeed, it was only by virtue of an astonishing combination of events that the devious machinations of Israel's indefeasible "deep state" proved lacking.
40% : Beyond the IDF's Military Advocate General (MAG) Corps, the corruption almost certainly involves Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and her cohorts in Israel's Justice Ministry.
39% : In petitions to Israel's Supreme Court, the accused soldiers demanded a thorough and conclusive investigation into how the edited tape was leaked and who manufactured it.
39% : David Zini as the new Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief, the truth would never have been exposed, and the criminal injustice would have remained concealed virtually forever.
32% : By even the most conservative estimates, the doctored video has received tens of millions of views to date and has caused untold damage to Israel's international image and desperate efforts to justify its war in Gaza.
21% : Nevertheless, the damage was already done as minions of anti-Israel organizations, influencers and government officials across the globe, including, to some degree, the U.S. State Department, condemned the IDF and accused Israel of systematic barbarity.
20% : No hyperbole is necessary to describe the tectonic shifts the latest scandal surrounding the now former Israeli Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi could bring about, not only within the Israel Defense Forces but throughout Israel's entire legal establishment.
