10-04-10 Another day in the Tel Aviv court for leaders of the Israeli Occupy movement, among them - Daphni Lif, Moshe Cohen and 7 others. Separately, a hearing was conducted today for another leader of the Israeli Occupy movement - Yigal Rambam.
Unprecedented corruption of the Israeli courts over the past decade, under the tenure of Ahraon Barak and Dorit Beinisch as Chief Justicees of the Supreme Court, is central to socio-economic conditions in Israel today.
Assistant Presiding Judge of the Tel Aviv Court, Varda Alsheikh, was caught falsifying her own court records.  Repeated demands by that Israeli Bar Association that Alsheikh be removed from the bench were diregarded.  She hears many of the largest financial institution default cases in the Tel Aviv court.
