Explosive corruption of the Israeli justice system is cured by gag orders...

The recent evidence of Officer Efraim Bracha's corruption also calls for new reading of old news, e.g., a case where Bracha "negligently" exposed a criminal, who apparently cooperated with police. [^ix] There were at least a couple of other key witnesses in organized crime cases who were negligently allowed to be murdered.

By far the largest issue, always lurking in the background, is the cover-up in Prime Minister Rabin's assassination investigation. [^x] Ruth David was the senior Attorney General on the case, and according to media, Efraim Bracha acted as head of the Israel Police Special Investigation Team. However, Bracha's name fails to appear in the appointment record of the Special Investigation Team... [^xi] Bracha and David's role in the cover-up of the Rabin assassination investigation may have matched them partners in crime while making them untouchable.

The case documents again that the Rabin assassination was a critical event relative to the nature of the Israeli regime. While it was possibly inspired by Israeli-Palestinian politics, it deeply involved the Shin-Bet, and its cover-up entailed irreversible corruption of the justice system. [^xii]

Israel is today recognized as one of the most corrupt OECD nations, and both the UN and OECD have recently conducted investigations into government corruption in Israel. [^xiii] A 2009 report by US Ambassador to Israel, James Cunningham, published by Wikileaks, asks, "Israel - the promised land for organized crime?" Cunningham describes the merger of government agencies and organized crime in Israel. [^xiv] With the occupation of Palestine nearing its 50^th anniversary, the prophecy of the late Yeshayahu Leibowitz appears to have been fulfilled -- that the occupation would lead to total corruption of the State of Israel.
