(28-01-2010) Minister Aharonovitch and MK Rotem Condemn Shoe-throwing at President of the High Court |

Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said that "violence in an Israeli courtroom is unacceptable," while Knesset Constitution Committee chairman David Rotem termed it an assault against the judicial system and the state as a whole. On Wednesday, a 52 year old Jerusalem resident with previous convictions for violent behavior entered the court room in which Judge Beinish was presiding and threw his shoes at her. He claimed that his actions were retribution for the decision in his own alimony case, with which Judge Beinish had nothing to do.
