12-10-25 PRESS RELEASE – The case of self-immolated social protest activist Moshe Silman – Judge Hagai Brenner steps down


The evidence shows that the case as a whole was conducted as simulated litigation [Halichim LeMar'it A'in]. The original complaint was filed under a case number, which now the Tel Aviv District Court says never existed, and Judge Brenner affected dismissal of the original complaint and also dismissed an appeal from his own decision. Public access to court records in this case is yet to be gained.

Tel Aviv, October 25 – In response to Disqualification for a Cause, filed by Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), Judge Hagai Brenner stepped down from the case of Silman v Social Security Administration in the Tel Aviv District Court.
The August 30, 2012 notice, received from the Tel Aviv District Court says:
The Request is replete with baseless claims, stemming from lack of understanding by the Requester of the manner in which decisions are issued  in Net HaMishpat [the case management system of the Court-jz] and regarding work procedures in the Court. There is not a single valid reason in the Request, which could lead to real concern regarding bias. With it, given changes in the work schedule of the Court, the Request to Inspect and to Copy will be reviewed by the Honorable Magistrate. Therefore, the current Request is moot, and there is no need to address its contents.
It should be noted that the notice was served as an unsigned  "Post-it Decision", and was accompanied by an unsigned authentication record.
The Disqualification for a Cause noted evidence that the case as a whole was conducted as simulated litigation [Halichim LeMar'it A'in]: [2]
  • The original complaint was filed under a case number 13491/2008, which now the Tel Aviv District Court says never existed, and
  • Judge Brenner affected dismissal of the original complaint (in his hat of magistrate) and also dismissed an appeal from his own decision (in his hat of pro tem district judge).
The August 30, 2012 notice by Judge Hagai Brenner also demonstrates the failure of the courts of the State of Israel to establish valid and transparent judicial assignment and re-assignment procedures.
In the meanwhile, the Tel Aviv District Court continues to delay access to the court file records, and also continues to delay decision on a request for copies of decisions in the case, certified by the Clerk of the Court.
The case of the late Moshe Silman was submitted as part of the Human Rights Alert (NGO) report to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, due for review in early 2013. [3]
The Human Rights Alert report is titled, "Integrity, or lack thereof, in the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel", and subtitled, "A court which refuses to certify its own decisions, is certified corrupt".
