1. Supreme Court
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (07.18.11)
How can they be SO stupid? Law is something to be used with the head not just following what's written, people who cannot understand the spirit of the law are not suited to be in there positions. Israel's Supreme Court is a shame for all of us!
2. THE IRONY
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (07.18.11)
If Dirany were standing in front of an Israeli court being tried for terrorist offences,I have no doubt he'd be shouting that he doesn't recognize the court. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
3. 3rd attempt: Lucky for us...
(07.18.11)
...that Eichman got the death sentence. This outrageously moronic supreme court of ours today would have allowed eichman to sue the state for compensation. Come to think of it...it won't half surprise me if his grandkids now do just that in our supreme court. The people must get a say in who sits on the SC bench. These self-appointed-for-life Czars act with impunity against the will of the people of the country. That is not democracy! They have hijacked the country for their own political ends. If a revolution does happen here in Israel, I believe it will be against the stranglehold the SC has over our country.
4. judges generally are incredibly full of themselves
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (07.19.11)
5. israeli leftist judges lost their mind for sure
(07.19.11)
6. You couldn't make this up,a terrorist is allowed to sue us.
Lior Eliraz ,   TA Israel   (07.19.11)
Is it a wonder that most Israeli's think that idiots run our courts,this is just unbelievable,these courts don't live on the same planet as us.........Rewarding terror.........
7. We are paying for his lawyer,to squezze money out of us.
(07.19.11)
8. Spurious lawsuit from your enemy
John ,   Alaska   (07.19.11)
This spurious lawsuit from the Hezbollah operative is only taking up time and money better spent in legitimate Judiciary pursuits. We can let the member of the foreign terrorist organization file a complaint with the Israeli embassy in his country of residence. When it opens diplomatic relations with Israel. He shouldn't hold his breath.
9. Justice Salim Joubran.!Useful idiots,like South Africa?
PETER SM   (07.19.11)
Wonder what Bishop TuTu has to say? Rape Dirani?? YUK!!
10. #5 obviously didnt see the election results
Haim ,   TA   (07.19.11)
is that all you can do scream "leftist" i presume you have a list of every judge and his or her political opinion to back up this claim. Last time i checked we have a right -wing goverment, still if it makes it easier for you to scream " leftist" about your fellow jew and further divide the nation then go ahead, because it goes to show how ignorant you really are.
11. Easy fix - require attendance in person by Dirani
William ,   Israel   (07.19.11)
otherwise, declare it a mis-trial and move on. If he does show up, allow him his trial and to see how a real democracy works. Let him share his shame with the Arab world, then arrest him for being a member of a terrorist organization. Unless the Leftist court let's him out again.
12. Judges should be Fired
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (07.19.11)
These Evil Judges in Israel think they are smarter and better than the will of the Israeli people. Who the Hell do these Judges think they are! Remove them immediately, Judges should not be able to Judge for LIFE. We the people should appoint our Judges. Enough with this lunacy!
13. overseeing arrogant judges
daze ,   US   (07.19.11)
Big reason why judges should'nt select judges, they got to be held accountable to the loyal citizens of Israel for this ruling
14. Message to the court with small "C"
Gábor Fränkl   (07.19.11)
Look guys, you can pull the short thread from its 2 ends, but once the thread will be teared apart. Don't wait until that moment for the people of Israel to happen it. We are all very near that magic moment...
15. Supreme Court - FOOLS
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.19.11)
It is a matter of he says, he says. Was he raped in prison or not? What is the accuser's reliability for telling the truth? You are saying that a terrorist is going to tell us the truth? Supreme Court is a bunch of leftists with their heads in the sand.
16. The joys of the rule of law
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (07.19.11)
The delinquent is permitted to lie and he can drag the victim to the highest court.
17. #11 Excellent solution - it would work!
John ,   Alaska   (07.19.11)
18. An afront to Israel? Dirani ?
Patrick   (07.19.11)
Terrorists are always welcome in our court of law.. Wisdom and experience, two foreign words in our justice system; a typical example is justice Procaccia. Incompetence and stupidity reign supreme. Good and evil have no relevance in the nomination system. Basically, it's a free for all arrangement; and it works.
19. #7
(07.19.11)
You are paying German lawyers to squeeze money out of Germans!
20. #1 The spirit of the law
Raphael ,   Netanya   (07.19.11)
Is the accurate translation of "l'Esprit des Lois", Montesquieu's leaflet which laid the cornerstone of democracy, whose basics rely upon segregation of the powers. The israeli judges are committing a serious offence against democracy, as they interfere with the lawmakers and decision makers.
21. #19 - who placed Jews in work camps...
William ,   Israel   (07.19.11)
...and squeezed money out of them.
