C. Suspicious Death of Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court Shamryahu Cohen (2002) [iv]
No lesser in significance, but hardly recognized by the public, was the March 7, 2002 death of Chief Clerk of the Israeli Supreme Court Shmaryahu Cohen in the Supreme Court. According to various reports, he died of "cardiac arrest" during a farewell party for a retiring employee of the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court.
Two weeks later, a woman named Oholiva Peretz-Izescu filed with the Tel Aviv Police a criminal complaint, alleging murder. However, the complaint was closed, since the filer could not present a reasonable motive for such murder.

Left: Until early 2002, all decisions of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel included a certification box, stating "True Copy of the Original, Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen". Right: Since March 2002, all decisions of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel include a certification box, carrying a disclaimer "version subject to editing and phrasing changes", and failing to make any mention of a Chief Clerk. The Administration of Courts refuses to respond on a Freedom of Information request to provide the legal foundation for such changes in the judicial records of the Supreme Court.
As later documented in the Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations (2013), on the same date that Shmaryahu Cohen died, the electronic records and electronic systems of the Supreme Court were permanently compromised through an "inside job":
* Substantial change took place in the form of all records of the Supreme Court's decisions: Until that date, the certification box at the bottom of each record stated "True Copy of the Original, Shmaryahu Cohen, Chief Clerk". Since that date, all records state "Subject to editing and phrasing changes", and fail to name a Chief Clerk. Judicial records, which are subject to "editing and phrasing changes" cannot be deemed by any reasonable person as valid court records.
* Numerous decision records of the Supreme Court were consequently falsified, bearing Shmaryahu Cohen's purported certification, up to five years after his death.
* The process initiated on that date also led to removal of the servers of the Court from the custody of the Chief Clerk to the custody of a corporation (most likely IBM or EDS), in violation of the law of the State of Israel. [ v ]
Since the death of Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen, Ms Sarah Lifschitz has appeared as "Chief Clerk" of the Israeli Supreme Court. As later documented, she has done so with no lawful appointment record.
Such events, which took place under the tenure of Presiding Justice Aharon Barak, could not possibly happen absent full collusion by the Shin-Bet, which is charged with the protection of key State computer systems.
D. Presiding Justice Aharon Barak and "Constitutional Revolution" in Israel [ vi ]
Such events took place in the midst of what was advertised by then Presiding Justice Barak as a "Constitutional Revolution" in the State of Israel. Such "revolution" was supposed to establish in the State of Israel, where no constitution exists, fundamental Human Rights as superior to other laws. With it, Barak established a doctrine that "Everything is Adjudicable". Barak also advocated and established in Israel a judicial philosophy that largely frees judges from strict adherence to the language of the law, including court procedures, and from strict adherence to the language of written contracts. Instead, such philosophy permits judges to resort to interpretation of "intentions".
Through such philosophy, judges and the courts have asserted unprecedented power and large leeway to subvert the law and court procedures, and to undermine Due Process and Fair Hearings from their foundation.
In following years, growing voices in Israel have called for reform of the courts and for placing limits on the power of the judiciary, but so far all such efforts failed.
