1. Not king or god
Brod ,   USA   (01.02.12)
The Court should not empower itself to be king or god of a Nation. It is the role of Government to govern a nation. As for the fanatics, they need a reeducation. Their treatment of women has nothing do with the Bible. It is all due to fanaticism in darkness. What they need is to know the Light of the world that will enlighten them. They need to know the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe and His bountiful mercy found in the Book of Psalms.
2. Judges shouldn't fear gov't! They should fear the people!
Mark ,   Ohio   (01.02.12)
The radical LEFTS dictatorship must end! Let's hope peacefully.
3. Mr. Peres
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (01.02.12)
Anybody surprised that he goes out to defend his friends?
4. People are Sovereign not Courts
Andrew Hamilton ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.02.12)
There is no democracy in the world in which the Courts are sovereign. In democracies, the people are sovereign and their will is expressed through elected officials not self selecting judges.
5. Court Power ?
Mark ,   T.a.Israel   (01.02.12)
The RAISON D'ETRE orSURVIVAL of the STATE is ABOVE all CONSIDERATIONS! Sometimes THE COURT'S DECISION IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY puts in DANGER the HIGH INTEREST OF THE STATE !We have seen the TERRORIST obtaining an INDEMNITY after COURT's DECISION ! Our ENEMIES NEVER APPLY THE RULES OF DEMOCRACY !!!
6. OPPRESSIVE anti-Jewish leftist not-supreme court is NOT will
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.02.12)
of the Israeli people, maybe old leftist has-beens, but not the majority people who are Jews that love Israel.
7. No more Meretz Supreme Courts.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.02.12)
It is way past time for Israel to have a Supreme Court which reflects the centre right orientation of her majority. The Supreme Court must be drastically reformed both as to limiting it's powers and changing it's composiiton. No more Meretz Supreme Courts.
8. Law administration is a joke
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (01.02.12)
All well and good making laws and appointing judges. Allowing for the State of Israel being only 63 years old, judgements are unpredictable, each jydge thinks he is Solomon and judgements are akin to those handed at Sodom & Gomorrah. Time the way judges work is given a thorough review.
9. Who elected those three on the photo ?
Jules   (01.02.12)
10. Wonderful legislation
James ,   USA   (01.03.12)
Lieberman is bringing legislation from his Soviet-motherland to his new country of Israel. It amuses me to see Israel on this downward spiral.
11. Dismantle the Supreme Court entirely
James ,   USA   (01.03.12)
Israel should dismantle the Supreme Court entirely. Let the Knesset pass all the laws and be the final arbiter of all things. Complete Israel's transition to a fascist-nationalist state similar to Russia--Lieberman's native country.
