Almagor: Citizens Should Investigate Supreme Court

Israeli citizens should start their own investigation of the Supreme Court, a frustrated Meir Indor of the Almagor organization for victims of terrorism said Wednesday. “The time has come for a ‘People’s Court’ that will look into the reason that the Supreme Court rejects every appeal by victims of terrorism against terrorists’ release, but intervenes incessantly when it comes to appeals filed by Palestinians,” he said.

The court has rejected several suits against terrorists’ release, arguing that the issue is one of national security and thus lies in the hands of the government. However, the court has intervened in several issues – such as the path of the Judea and Samaria security barrier or the questioning of suspected terrorists – which defense officials argued were also questions of national security.
