In 2002, Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court Shmaryahu Cohen died under suspicious circumstances. Already then a family member/friend filed a complaint with the Israel Police. However, in 2002 family and friends could not provide a plausible motive for the conduct. Additional evidence, filed with the Israel Police and the Knesset Law, Constitution and Justice Committee by Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), indicates that the death of Shmaryahu Cohen was linked to unlawful takeover of the servers and electronic records of the Supreme Court. In the years following Cohen's death, numerous decision records were forged and integrity of the records as a whole was deliberately undermined. Under such circumstances Ms Sarah Lifschitz has appeared since 2002 as “Chief Clerk” with no lawful appointment record. Police complaint, filed in 2012 also documented the issuance of fraudulent certification of Supreme Court decisions by Ms Lifschitz. In 2002, a simulated Office of the Clerk was effectively established in the Supreme Court. Events that took place in the Supreme Court in 2002 should be deemed second only to Rabin's assassination in 1995 relative to the essence of the regime in the State of Israel.
The additional evidence, filed with the Israel Police and the Knesset's Law, Constitution and Justice Committee does not name suspects in the death of Chief Clerk of the Israeli Supreme Court Shmaryahu Cohen . However, it does name those, who would be able to assist in the investigation: a. Mr Aharon Barak – Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court in 2002; b. Mr Boaz Okon – Magistrate Judge in the Supreme Court in 2002, and c. Ms Sarah Lifschtiz – who occupies the office of Chief Clerk since 2002 with no lawful appointment record.
Occupy Tel Aviv, June 3 – Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO) has filed with Israel Police and the Knesset's Law, Constitution and Justice Committee additional evidence pertaining to two complaints, previously filed with the Israel Police: a. The March 27, 2002 complaint, filed by Ms Oholivah Perez Izescu, related to the death of Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court Shmaryahu Cohen in 2002, and b. The April 16, 2012 complain 158921/2012, filed by Joseph Zernik, PhD, against today's “Chief Clerk” Ms Sarah Lifschitz. [1]
In parallel, request was filed with the Knesset for the immediate establishment of a Parliamentary Investigative Committee. [7]
The new evidence offers a motive for the death of Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen and conduct of “Chief Clerk” Sarah Lifschitz since 2002 and to this day – unlawful takeover of the servers and records of the Supreme Court, which were under the custody of the Chief Clerk until the death of Shmaryahu Cohen in 2002, and are now under the custody of one of the corporations involved (apparently IBM or EDS).
The new evidence is based on crossing data from various sources:
a. March 27, 2002 Complaint filed in Yarkon District by Oholivah Peretz Izescu, relative to the death of Supreme Court Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen [2]
b. The 2010 State Ombudsman Report, regarding computerization of the courts of the State of Israel. [3]
c. April 16, 2012 Complain No 158921/2012 filed by Joseph Zernik against today's “Chief Clerk” Ms Sarah Lifschitz. [4]
d. The 2013 Human Rights Alert submission to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, which was incorporated into the Council's official report with a note referring to “Lack of integrity of the electronic records of the Supreme Court... of Israel”. [5]
e. Recent (2013) complaints filed by the Complainant with Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court Asher Grunis, pertaining to false and deliberately misleading registrations by the Office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court. [6]
In view of the new evidence, the Israel Police was asked to reopen the investigation of the two complaints, perviously filed, and the Knesset was asked to immediately establish a Parliamentary Investigative Committee. [7]
The new evidence does not name suspects, but it names those who are likely to be able to assist in the investigation: a. Mr Aharon Barak – Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court in 2002; b. Mr Boaz Okon – Magistrate Judge in the Supreme Court in 2002, and c. Ms Sarah Lifschtiz – who occupies the office of Chief Clerk since 2002 with no lawful appointment record.
The new evidence was summarized as follows:
"As Chief Clerk, Mr Shmaryahu Cohen was the lawful custodian of the records of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel, including the electronic records. In 2002 he died under suspicious circumstances. Following his death integrity of the Supreme Court records was seriously compromised: many forged records were identified, and all records are published in a patently void form. According to the State Ombudsman's Report, concomitantly, the servers for the electronic records were extracted from the custody of the chief clerks. Since the death of Mr Shmaryahu Cohen, Ms Sarah Lifschitz occupies the same office with no lawful appointment record. A previous complaint, filed with the Israel Police, documented execution of false and deliberately misleading certification of Supreme Court decision records by Ms Lifschitz. Therefore, the Complainant offers that the motive for the killing of Mr Shmaryahu Cohen was unlawful takeover of the the electronic records of the Supreme Court, which were under his custody, and that conduct of Ms Lifschitz today as “Chief Clerk” amounts to the establishment of a simulated Office of the Clerk in the Supreme Court of the State of Israel.”
Regardless of who is accountable for the death of Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen and conduct of “Chief Clerk” Sarah Lifschtiz, events in the Israeli Supreme Court in 2002 should be deemed second only to the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhaq Rabin in 1995, relative to the nature of the Israeli regime today.
