We are all awake and witnessing what is happening in the legal system: the serious charges filed in court this week, in which a senior attorney, a former district attorney, and a retired police chief (who suddenly resigned on his own initiative) are accused.
These events raise serious questions about the justice system in Israel, and the filing of these indictments does nothing to alleviate these difficult feelings.
The accusations are nothing more than an attempt to wash one's hands, and in my humble opinion, also the wisdom of hindsight...
Let's remember: Only a man who is himself accused of crimes dared to expose this affair that has been branching out. Did no one in the law enforcement system know anything over the years? Or were there others involved who simply bought their silence and were still not exposed? Perhaps the fear of exposing the corruption paralyzed them?
Another affair that was published this week is the investigation by journalist Amit Segal into the dubious past of the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, who was revealed to have been involved in, and even encouraged, both moral and criminal offenses. .
The multitude of public figures who have stood trial in recent years and those who are still standing trial, those whose signature on fateful decisions in our future is like a fingerprint in Israeli society, presents a terrible sight before our eyes.
Are these our chosen ones? How did we choose them? Are we all blind?
Or has bribery blinded the faces of those close to these individuals, who spread an atmosphere of clean hands in their surroundings and washed their hands of them in the media?
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, and I don't think that beyond shame we have the ability to deal with the issue.
In the parsha of "The Beheaded Cart," the Torah teaches that when a crime/murder is committed in a city and no one knows who the murderer is, all the people of the city are presumed "guilty" because, after all, a crime was committed in their vicinity.
In other words, the blame also lies with us: What are we as individuals and as a society doing to fix the situation?
