Almagor, the terror victims’ organization, said Sunday the appointment of Attorney Chanan Meltzer to the High Court of Justice “set a new record in the politicization of the Supreme Court.”

“Meltzer and Attorney [Yoram] Danziger who is waiting in line to be nominated, and who poured fire and brimstone on the Disengagement opponents, mark the end of the era in which there was at least an attempt to maintain an outward semblance of the Supreme Court as an impartial body,” the organization said in a statement.
