1. What the hell are you on about man??????
Shachar ,   Eilat   (02.27.18)
There were a few messages between a lawyer and a judge, a remand judge at that. It is minor beyond belief, even more minor than Clinton's e-mails. Obviously Bibi has paid private investigators to dig up dirt on judges, lawyers, policemen, investigators etc. We are going to get a daily douse of irrelevant dirt these investigaters find. Wake up already!
2. Not a surprise to citizens - a SOLUTION will be the surprise
Sharon   (02.27.18)
Unfortunately, this won't surprise any citizen familiar with the "close the case" crime-promotion factory that is the justice system.
3. Passing laws to retroactively legalize illegal settlements?

something is rotten in the state of Israel and one can see and smell it without
seeing a ghost. The King is still alive . It is not only rotten in the kingdom
of justice. something is very rotten in the kingdom......

5. Israel & America need to drain our leftist swamps
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.27.18)
It is obvious what is rotten in both Israel and America. The leftist Deep States, which undermine democracy and do enormous damage to our nations. Israel and America need to drain our leftist swamps, including our courts, security establishments, armies etc.

7. Lets stop the hysteria and think over

Judges are human being and fallible. There is no perfect system. Thank g.d I am not involved in litigation and stay on the corporate, m&a advisory side (more specialized, we prevent or settle disputes and it pays better than to litigate) but people in litigation departments get to often see the judges. They get to know the judges and the preference of the judge so they may adapt the arguments presented in a case before a particular judge so as to suit his or her préférences and try to win the case. There arent that many people in the judicial system in every country of the world (save for the US where there are as many attorneys as there are used cars salesmen.) adn people get to know each other. There may be friendships that will weigh in a borderline case with interpretation issues but otherwise judges act honestly and rationally without taking side or letting political motives interfere. That said, it is not a secret that judges lean more towards teh left and in a highly political case, as the case at hand, a judge may have acted improperly due to personal political bias. The true question is the following, who benefits from the crime? Which side gained a miraculous advantage over that disclosure? It is obvious that the judges and the attorney ( who are both subject to professional secrecy) was tapped which in and of itself raises other issues and questions...

Sha'i ben-Tekoa ,   Efrat   (02.28.18)
This is the same Israeli culture still steeped in the cultural mentality of the Exile, the one that celebrates, for example, the rampant, socially acceptable cheating like crazy by students and pupils during tests. When an Israeli asks his neighbor in a whisper for the correct answer to a question he does not know, friendship overrules honesty as the two collaborate against the "authority," the teacher. As Jews in the Diaspora disrespected the gentile authority that abused them, so they love to screw the government/teacher when they can. The pleasure of collaborating/cheating, like this judge and prosecutor, is very Israeli.
