Jerusalem District Court Justice Avraham Tal stated he sees no reason for the court’s intervention in the petition of Pini Cohen, seeking to overturn a parole board decision opposing his early release.
For those who remember, Cohen’s day of fame came in January 2010, when he launched a double shoe attack against Supreme Court President Justice Dorit Beinish, during a court session.
Cohen was hoping for early release since he expressed remorse and has been paying for his actions, but a parole board had a different feeling, prompting the petition to the district court, which was rejected.
Cohen is serving a two-year sentence and was hoping the parole board would wipe off a third for good behavior, as is customary in the Israeli system. when his request was denied, he turned to the district court.

In all fairness, unlike the assorted terrorists released recently, who in fact are no threat to the existence of the State of Israel – people who question the authority of the head of the Supreme Court are a real threat to the legitimacy of the zionist enterprise. Not all that long ago, had he done something like that in England he would have been charged with Treason (though in all fairness, probably not executed – at worst he’ld been exiled to the wilds of America or Australia).
They can parole disgusting murderers, but they can’t let a SHOE THROWER out?!!? They really should be embarrassed.
#2 – because from a zionist perspective, the shoe thrower is a traitor who threatens the legitimacy of the state. Traditionally, murderers were humanely executed, but traitors were horribly tortured to death.
The day will come for Beinish when she will WISH that her only punishment was being pelted with shoes.
