Ethics complaint filed in the Technion against Prof Eli Biham - cyber security and e-government
Regardless of repeat requests, Prof Eli Biham, Head of the Technion's Cyber Security Research Center, refuses to address credible evidence of lack of integrity and/or fraud in critical e-government systems in Israel: a) IT systems of the courts, and b) IT systems of the Central Election Committee. The complaint claims that Prof Eli Biham, in his capacity as Head of the Technion’s Cyber Security Research Center, holds an ethical and intellectual duty to the Israeli public-at-large to opine, alternatively – to initiate public debate of matters related to security and integrity of e-government in Israel, including, but not limited to:
1. Integrity and security, or lack thereof, of IT systems of the Israeli courts, and
2. Integrity and security, or lack thereof, of IT systems of the Central Election Committee.
The Complaint was filed with the Technion's Executive Vice President Prof Wayne Kaplan, President Prof Peretz Lavie, and Members of the Executive Committee.

OccupyTLV, September 20 - Ethics complaint was filed in the Technion against Prof Eli Biham, Head of the new Technion's Cyber Security Research Center.
The complaint claims that Prof Eli Biham, in his capacity as Head of the Technion’s Cyber Security Research Center, holds an ethical and intellectual duty to the Israeli public-at-large to opine, alternatively – to initiate public debate of matters related to security and integrity of e-government in Israel, including, but not limited to:
1. Integrity and security, or lack thereof, of IT systems of the Israeli courts, and
2. Integrity and security, or lack thereof, of IT systems of the Central Election Committee.

RE: Ethics complaint against Prof Eli Biham – cyber security and e-government in Israel

Your response within 14 days is kindly requested.

Dear Executive Vice President Kaplan, President Lavie, and Members of the Executive Committee:

Instant ethics complaint against Prof Eli Biham, Head of the Technion’s Cyber Security Research Center, is addressed to you, since the Technion web pages indicate that Vice President’s office is charged with administration of the Technion Ethics Committees. [¹] However, I could not find the exact ethics committee, fitting instant ethics complaint, and it may require the convening of an ad-hoc ethics committee.

Prof Eli Biham heads the Technion’s Cyber Security Research Center, which is likely to be funded, at least in part by the public coffer. Likewise, the Technion itself benefits from the public coffer.

I יave recently addressed to Prof Biham repeat requests to opine regarding security and integrity of key cyber systems of the Israeli government – IT systems of the courts (including, but not limited to Net-HaMishpat – IT system of the district and magistrate courts) (Attachment A), and IT system of the Central Election Committee (Attachment B). These issues hold the highest public policy significance.

Prof Biham has repeatedly refused to opine on such matters. He also refused to respond on a proposal to hold a public symposium on such matters (Attachment B).

Analogies are usually flawed. Regardless, in order to make myself understandable by a wider readership, I offer the following:

Let’s assume that the Israeli government established systems, controlling public food supply, funded from the public coffer. Let’s further assume that credible evidence shows that through such system, individuals and/or segments of the public (e.g., Roman Zadorov, those who must appear before the Family Courts, those who must appear before the Debtors’ Courts, bondholders in corporate “haircuts”, bankruptcy cases in the District Courts) are seriously infected, either deliberately or in error. Let’s also assume that the Technion established a Safety in Food Supply Research Center (possibly also funded from the public coffer).

Does a Technion Professor, who heads a Safety in Food Supply Research Center, hold a public and intellectual duty to adequately address requests for his opinion on such evidence?

In short:

My complaint claims that Prof Eli Biham, in his capacity as Head of the Technion’s Cyber Security Research Center, holds an ethical and intellectual duty to the Israeli public-at-large to opine, alternatively – to initiate public debate of matters related to security and integrity of e-government in Israel, including, but not limited to:

1. Integrity and security, or lack thereof, of IT systems of the Israeli courts, and
2. Integrity and security, or lack thereof, of IT systems of the Central Election Committee.

I would be glad to provide additional information to any Technion Ethics Committee, which would review instant complaint.

Truly,

I repeat my demand that you cease harassing me with your distribution lists.

As a reminder, you have not yet confirmed my deletion from your distribution list, and have not publicly apologized for your badmouthing, have not addressed the Biometric Database, and have not started respectable conduct. You have not even started accurate position naming.

Therefore, you will not receive any response on your harassment and badmouthing, except for demands for stopping and for apology.

Dear Prof Biham:

Please accept my new publication today, as follows.

I fully realize your lack of enthusiasm to provide any opinion regarding lack of integrity and/or fraud in e-government in Israel.

Regardless, it appears to me that as a professor in a public academic institution, and as head of the Technion Cyber Security Research Center, you hold a public and intellectual duty in this matter.

There is no need to explain the significance of the matters, documented in the following publication.

Judicial fraud in Roman Zadorov's trial in Nazareth - was Judge Haim Galpaz merely a statist/extra?
Request pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act tries to clarify the part played by Judge Haim Galpaz in judicial fraud in Roman Zaorov's trial in the Nazareth District Court.  Roman Zadorov is held by the Israeli authorities in the Shita Prison.  Complaint, which was filed with the UN Human Rights Council - Working Group on Arbitrary Detention - shows that Roman Zadorov is held as purported murder convict, however, with no lawfully made Verdict, no lawfully made Sentencing, and no Arrest Decree (prescribed by Israeli law for admitting a convict to prison) at all.  Criminal complaint, which was filed with the Attorney General, documents the active part of former Judge Yitzhak Cohen, Judge Esther Hellman, and Judge Avraham Avraham in such fraud.  However, Judge Haim Galpaz apparently served only as a statist/extra.

RE: Request for holding a public symposium in the Cyber Security Center - E-government in Israel
Dear Prof Biham:
First, most likely you should be deemed misrepresenting and/or deliberately withholding major part of the content of our discussion, in your writing below.
Second, your response confirms the circumstances, which I described already in my submission to the UN Human Rights Council for the 2013 Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in Israel: The academia and the intelligentsia in Israel is mostly partnering in the unannounced regime change, which was executed through large-scale fraud on the public in e-government over the past decade.
The UN Human Rights Council Professional Review Report on Human Rights in Israel (2013) incorporated my submission, and summed it as follows: "Lack of integrity in the electronic record systems of the Supreme Court, the district courts and the detainees' courts in Israel".
The Center, which you head, and the Technion now appear as full partners in this matter  - an "improper" role for academicians and an academic institution in a civil society...

2016-09-12 Election computer fraud in 2015?  MK Elharar is asked to help...
In view of publications, which raise suspicions of computer fraud in the Central Election Committee in 2015, FOIA request was filed on the Knesset.  The request pertains to development, validation, implementation, operation and security of IT systems of the Central Election Committee. The Knesset FOIA office confirmed receipt of the request, but so far failed to duly issue a FOIA request number.  Circumstances, where the Knesset is not ready, willing, able to uphold FOIA (which it enacted), pertaining to IT systems of the Central Election Committee (which it established), and which is a central tool in lawfully establishing the Knesset itself, must raise concerns that the Knesset is not elected and does not operate as a lawful legislative body, but under control of the Deep State apparatus...
The fraud in government IT systems of the past decade amount to unannounced regime change in Israel...
