Aryeh Deri Paying now for the arrogance. The urge, which cannot be conquered, must devour everything, in any mouth, in any way and at any speed. Not only was he convicted three times and returned to the scene of the crime, he claimed two cases for himself. He did not agree to reduce one of the bureaus. He demanded an increase in his CEO’s salary. and to fire senior officials who were there before, even when it comes to excellent and non-political professionals. Mehar Shal felt falcon. He acted as if the flood was following him and discovered that the flood was upon him.
After the High Court ruling: a line of senior officials went to Deri’s house, who for the first time commented on his disqualification
Sorting things out for you: What are Netanyahu’s options and who will get the health and interior portfolios?
Once, in his previous incarnation, when he was prosecuted for bribery, convicted and sentenced to prison, he was interviewed and beaten for sin. My heart may have backed up, he said. I may have sinned the sin of arrogance, he admitted. There were those who thought he had learned his lesson. I joined them. He also started the current incarnation of the investigations relatively humbly. He didn’t interfere with the enforcement authorities, he didn’t train his people in them, he didn’t incite. Maintain silence and dignity. But finally, they made a betrayal of him.
Yesterday he reaped what he sowed. the sophisticated trick of deception for the unfortunate justice of the peace Shmuel Herbst, who believed the cunning presentation, according to which “the accused has pledged not to touch public funds again”. Well, the bottom line is that what looks like a scam, smells like a scam and sounds like a scam, is a scam. The people of Deri defined it as an “unfortunate misunderstanding”. Yesterday he found out that she was indeed unfortunate.
Don’t believe the spins of trumpeters such as Avishi Ben Haim. No one is demanding that Derai resign from the Knesset. He admittedly did not undertake to do so and there is no need for it. The story is the role of a minister in the government. On this, it was clear that Deri would have to deal with the issue of disgrace. This should be determined by the chairman of the central election committee. But Deri did not agree to take the chance and leave his ministerial fate in the hands of Judge Noam Solberg. He caused the coalition to change a basic law, only to have it determined that he has no disgrace.
Along the way, he disgraced the Magistrate’s Court, the prosecutor’s office and all those who believed his crocodile tears. The Supreme Court put an end to this scam yesterday. Even minority judge Yosef Elron did not confirm Deri’s tenure, but sent him back to the chairman of the election committee and stated that in any case, the change to the section of the Basic Law that was made for Deri, will not apply to Deri.
Deri is the ultra-Orthodox version of Benjamin Netanyahu. Sometimes she is a little more polite. Yesterday she was much less polite. Just like Netanyahu’s screeching megaphone gangs, so did Deri’s foolish followers yesterday, under his house in Jerusalem: “Ashkenazi white-skinned judges, you are the ones who murdered our ancestors,” they screamed, calling the High Court judges “corrupt.”
Someone should inject these friends with an anti-hypnosis shot and explain to them that the judges of the High Court of Justice have not been convicted three times. The judges of the High Court of Justice did not mislead, let alone lie, the court. The judges of the High Court removed Aryeh Deri from the government even during the Yitzhak Rabin government. Back then, the removal was much more dramatic than today.
Deri’s dismissal turned Rabin into a lame duck and marked his political end. So, no one claimed that the High Court was carrying out a coup d’état or trying to overthrow an elected and serving prime minister. Rabin gritted his teeth, hissed a curse under his flushed face and continued on. Deri and Netanyahu burn down the club.
The members are now expressing their anger on the grounds of reasonableness. Such audacity. A reason that could prevent Christ in flesh and blood, the King of Kings, from serving as Minister of the Interior and Health. Yair Sharkey announced yesterday that Deri is considering appointing his son Yanki to the position of health minister in his place. In response, the aforementioned Yankee tweeted something along the lines of “No stranger will sit on his chair.” How to interpret this tweet? After all, Yankee Deri is no stranger to his father. Or a conservative interpretation, according to which this chair is registered in the taboo in the name of the Deri family. They also had someone to learn from.
A few words about the cause of reasonableness: at the end of the month, the salary of the regular soldiers is expected to increase by a little more than 5%. This time, it will not happen thanks to the government, but thanks to a petition to the High Court by a tireless attorney named Amnon Lorach, who argued against the indexation of the wages of permanent servants and the non-indexation of the wages of regular soldiers. The High Court of Justice used the reason of reasonableness for the purpose of criticizing a government decision and also attached the salaries of the moderators. The same regarding the accessibility of public transportation, institutions, etc. for the disabled. In both of these cases the government preferred to ignore it. The High Court ruled that this is unlikely.
There are many such judgments. The reason for reasonableness is not an invention of the troubled Aharon Barak. She came here from British law. It exists in all legal methods in the world. Only in the supposedly democratic Israel, if any reason collides with any crook who wants to reach some goal, it is simply canceled.
Aryeh Deri is a tragedy.
He reminds, also in this sense, of Netanyahu. He is charismatic, he is talented, he is a magician. He is one of the most experienced, responsible and thoughtful people in the political-security cabinet. For many years I defended his return to the government after his first conviction, mainly because of these qualities. Unfortunately, these qualities were trumped by the other, less impressive ones. After being convicted of bribery and serving time in prison, he could be expected not to get into trouble again. Don’t be involved in anything. Not big, not small, not millions and not pennies. Just be clean. fresh as snow The burden of proof was on his shoulders, and he failed.
Will the current government fall because of yesterday’s ruling? probably not. The Sicilian Mafia-style threats sent by Deri’s associates and Shas officials towards the Supreme Court turned out to be a boomerang. The supreme, who had not shown spectacular courage recently, came to his senses in time. Yesterday’s ruling was correct and required not only because of the reason of reasonableness and the reason of the “silence” etc. In football, along with all the rules and regulations, there is also what is known in the language of the audience as “the law of logic”. It seems to me that even in life some basic logic should prevail. Logic, according to which a person who has been convicted of crimes three times, cannot be a minister in the government. How simple, how true.
