The panic from Channel 14 and the trick of the High Court: How the 'deep state' operates to control consciousness | Prof. Moshe Cohen-Eliya

Prof. Moshe Cohen-Eliya claims that the Israeli 'deep state' operates to control consciousness through the judicial system, presenting a series of rulings in the field of communications as an example. The article criticizes the High Court's ruling regarding Galei Tzahal, the extension of Yochefaz's term, and the operation of the Second Authority Council with a reduced composition, pointing to an internal contradiction in the ruling between 'stateliness' and 'extraneous consideration'.

Prof. Moshe Cohen-Eliya argues in an opinion article that the Israeli 'deep state' operates to control public consciousness, using the judicial system as a central tool. The article points to a series of rulings in the field of communications, led by the High Court's ruling on the closure of Galei Tzahal, as an example of the struggle for control of the media. The author criticizes the procedural demands made by the court towards the current government, and points to an internal contradiction in the ruling: on the one hand, closing a station for reasons of 'stateliness' is considered a substantive consideration; on the other hand, closing due to dissatisfaction with 'political positions' is considered an extraneous consideration. The article also attacks the extension of Yochefaz's term and the operation of the Second Authority Council with a reduced composition, claiming that these are mechanisms for maintaining media power identified with the left. The author compares Trump's American move to cut funding for public radio, and states that there is no sanctity in public funding of media outlets if the elected echelon believes they have ceased to fulfill their purpose. The article concludes by stating that 'heuristocrats' will never voluntarily relinquish their power of control.
