Legal Apartheid: In Israel's System There Are Bosses, 'Dealers' - and Extortion of Citizens | Moshe Cohen-Eliya
Legal protection, extortion by threats, and thwarting appointments: How the Israeli juristocracy has transformed from a neutral enforcement system into a power network operating along mafia lines to preserve the old hegemony.
Assessment
This piece frames Israel's legal system as a protection racket, alleging that senior figures act as bosses and enforcers who extort citizens and block appointments to preserve an old guard's dominance. The claim is that what should be neutral enforcement has become a mafia-style power network. The stakes are public trust in the judiciary and the legitimacy of legal institutions. Watch for whether specific cases or named officials are cited to back this accusation, or if it remains a sweeping indictment.
