"The High Court of Justice has rejected Margalit Har-Shefi's appeal of
her conviction for failure to report Yigal Amir's intention to assassinate
Yitzhak Rabin. This is yet one more blow at the credibility of the legal
system in Israel. The decision is especially strange in view of the fact
that for over 5 years, the same legal system has continually delayed legal
process against Avishai Raviv and his bosses in the Shabak, who not only
knew about Amir's intentions and failed to report them, but also
contributed significantly to the incitement that preceded the asassination."
"Any person for whom the principles of justice are dear to his heart
must condemn the judicial process against Ms. Har Shefi, who has already
suffered for five years and paid a heavy personal price."
"Professors for a Strong Israel sorrowfully notes that the obvious
identification of the Supreme Court with a specific political party harms
its standing and the rule of law in Israel."
