There are no judges in Jerusalem.
Or perhaps the following formulation is better: There are judges in Jerusalem, and they are quite cowards.
Nine Supreme Court justices, figures not suspected of lacking judicial activism, were unable to find legal grounds to disqualify the candidacies of two people from the fringes of Israeli society, whose statements attempt to destroy its normal, fragile functioning, and explain why it is still, of the Jewish democratic state - the State of Israel.

There's not much to say about Hanin Zoabi. The young woman with extremist views has managed to turn herself into a consensually hated figure even among the moderate center in the State of Israel. A human being who refuses to call the monsters who murdered the three teenagers "terrorists" cannot be a member of Knesset. Nor can she be the chairman of the House Committee.
The greater missing person is Baruch Marzel, wearing a kippah and a large beard. Who is the man that Eli Yishai, the 'trustee of the house' of the Gratuitous Rabbi Yosef, zt"l, chose to embrace with both hands ahead of the next elections?
Here is a quote from the Walla website [2014]:
Far-right activists have set up a telephone prayer hotline, which collects requests from people who want them to be read over the grave of Baruch Goldstein, who murdered 29 Palestinians in the Tomb of the Patriarchs in 1994... Far-right activist Baruch Marzel, who helped establish the hotline, said that on the 20th anniversary of Goldstein's death, several residents of Kiryat Arba noticed that many people were coming to his grave to pray and decided to help them...""
According to Marzel, "People ask for medical blessings because Goldstein is considered a doctor of knowledge, but also for marriage, success in all kinds of fields, immigration to Israel from abroad and other blessings.".
Hard to believe? Here's Marzel on the same subject in an interview with Radio Kol Chai: "Praying near the grave of the righteous Baruch Goldstein... Baruch Goldstein, who doesn't know, was one of the righteous Jews who lived. I know a lot of great rabbis and great righteous men. You don't see something like that every day.".
The image of the man who sees the monstrous madman Goldstein A holy man, standing on the Knesset podium, is one of the surrealist spectacles that may be seen here in the coming years.
What is the difference, at the end of the day, between the radical Arab who is not willing to call the murderers of the boys 'terrorists', and the scary Jew who calls the murderer Goldstein 'righteous'?
So it's true, the Supreme Court justices found no statements or actions that had a criminal aspect. Formally, Marzel is allowed to run for the Knesset.
But the trouble is that he might be elected, and then what? Can't the 'superiors' imagine the next composition?
We will reoccupy Gaza, bomb their schools, deport them all to Egypt, assassinate Abu Mazen, burn down the Al-Aqsa Mosque, establish an outpost on the Temple Mount, ignore the European and American communities, slap Obama's aid (political and financial) in the face, remove Judge Gibran from the Supreme Court, and ban Arab doctors from entering hospitals - after all, they all end up joining ISIS.
And of course, we will nominate Baruch Goldstein for the Israel Prize.
Long live the State of Israel.
