Habeas Corpus and the Strategy of “Catch Us If You Can”
Abstract
The Israeli Supreme Court has presented itself as a central guardian of democracy and the rule of law. Yet, the Court's rhetoric cannot obscure the grim reality of utter lawlessness reflected in hundreds of Supreme Court decisions over the past two years regarding Palestinians in Gaza. These rulings lack the grand rhetoric and the length of the Court’s “saving democracy and the rule of law” judgments.
