13-10-15 Criminal fraud compalint filed against Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel

The evidence shows that Ms Sarah Lifschitz occupies the office of Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court with no lawful appointment record. As such, she engaged in obstruction of justice. Presiding Justice Grunis deliberately tried to mislead the complainant that Ms Lifschitz was a duly appointed Chief Clerk. Effectively, a simulated court system has been established in the State of Israel over the past decade. As is the case in the United States, corruption of the judiciary is central to the current socio-economic crisis in Israel.

Occupy Tel Aviv, October 15 - Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO) filed with the Israel Police, Tel Aviv, a criminal fraud complaint against Presiding Justice of the Israeli Supreme Court Asher Grunis.

The Complaint in part says:
"The evidence, detailed in the complain, show that the Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court colludes in fraud on the complainant and the people of the State of Israel, pretaining to the appearance of Ms Sarah Lifschitz as “Chief Clerk” of the Supreme Court for over 10 years with no lawufl appointment.
The courts in Israel also ruled that a court, where no due office of the clerk exists, is not a competent court.
And the evidence shows that in the Supreme Court of the State of Israel, in the absence of duly appointed Chief Clerk, obstruction of justice has become a routine.
Needless to say, such circumstances undermine the integrity of the Israeli court system from its foundation."

The Compalaint originated in Dr Zernik's attempt to file a Petition for a Conditional Decree in the Supreme Court on April 15, 2013, under Dr Joseph Zernik v Minister of Justice Tzipi Livni and Director of the Administration of Courts Michael Spitzer (2689/13). In such Petition Dr Zernik sought to gain protection against sham litigation commenced against him in the Haifa Magistrate Court.

However, the office of the clerk refused to register some of Dr Zernik's papers, falsely registered others, and thereby effectively denied him access to the Supreme Court and access to justice.

Therefore, Dr Zernik wrote to the Presiding Justice, noting that he paid full court fees, and asked for fair and honest sevice and Equal Protection under the Law.

In his responses, the Presiding Justice repeatedly referred Dr Zernik back to the office of the clerk.

Therefore, Dr Zernik wrote back to the Presiding Justice and asked that the Presiding Justice present the appointment letter of "Chief Clerk" Sarah Lifschitz. In his request, Dr Zernik explicitly detailed the evidence that Ms Sarah Lifschitz was NOT a lawfully appointed "Chief Clerk".

In an August 5, 2013 response, the office of Presiding Justice Asher Grunis stated:
“Ms Sarah Lifschitz, Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court, was appointed in accordance with the customary rules of the State Service for persons of her rank”.

In his fraud complaint, Dr Zernik states, relative to such response by Presiding Justice Asher Grunis:
"Such response by Presiding Justice Asher Grunis should be deemed false and deliberately misleading; information that was provided with the intent of having Dr Zernik rely on the authority and high rank of Mr Asher Grunis, so that Dr Zernik believe that Ms Sarah Lifschitz indeed was a lawfuly appointed “Chief Clerk', that a lawful office of the clerk is in place in the Supreme Court, and that Dr Zernik as accorded Equal Protection under the law of the State of Israel."

The Complaint notices that in 2013, two such instances occurred, and eventually, in both cases, the Complainant was forced to seek protection by another nation of his rights in Israel, a situation that resembled conditions under the Ottoman Empire.

In July 2013, Dr Zernik filed a criminal complaint against Judge Hagai Brenner of the Tel Aviv District Court, relative to claims of "obstruction of justice with impunity" in the case of self-immolatd social protest activist Moshe Silman. The complaint was referred to the State Prosecution, but its current disposition is unknown. A petition, calling upon the Attorney General to instruct investigation of the comlaint against the Tel Aviv District Court has been signed by over 120 social protest activsits, attorneys and members of the public at large.

Over the past decade, under the tenure of Presiding Justices Aharon Barak, Dorit Beinisch and Asher Grunis, the Israeli courts have experienced unprecedented corruption. A recent survey shows that only 22% of Israelis believe that Israeli judges do NOT take bribes.

As is the case in the United States, corruption of the judiciary is central to the current socio-economic crisis in Israel.
