Tzahar continued: “The improper methods of sending letters through the media, personal assault of judges, requests to disqualify judges and firing before a professional examination are not acceptable. Especially when the allegations are for a judgment of severity or voice (and not for a specific professional error of one kind or another) and for foreign motives as if the judge came to ‘eliminate’ a group. All this discourse is unacceptable, unprofessional and unworthy of a matter-of-fact answer. “
