Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara<\/a> recently blocked an attempt by Levin to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Amit, ruling that the move departed from established administrative practices and lacked a sufficient factual basis.<\/p>\nLevin responded with a blistering attack on the attorney-general, accusing her of abusing her authority.<\/p>\n
Following Amit\u2019s interview, Constitution, Law and Justice Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman (Religious ZIonist Party) issued a sharp rebuke, accusing the Supreme Court president of exceeding his role and interfering in matters reserved for elected officials.<\/p>\n
Rothman said Amit should refrain from involvement in policy issues and focus exclusively on adjudicating cases in accordance with laws passed by the Knesset.<\/p>\n
Although Amit made clear that he does not give interviews as a rule, he said he agreed to speak because of the significance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n
The opening portion of the interview focused on his personal background as the son of Holocaust survivors and the experience of growing up in a household where the trauma of the Shoah was omnipresent yet rarely spoken about.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Holocaust was always there,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was present, but not discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amit recounted his father\u2019s survival through multiple labor and concentration camps, including Buchenwald and P\u0142asz\u00f3w, and his mother\u2019s survival as a hidden child who did not know she was Jewish until she was located after the war by Yeshayahu Drucker, who had tracked and located approximately 600-700 Jewish orphans who had gone into hiding with Christian families.<\/p>\n
Asked about contemporary antisemitism, Amit warned that it has taken on new forms. \u201cToday it is often disguised as anti-Zionism or the denial of the Jewish people\u2019s right to a national home,\u201d he said, adding that such sentiments are again on the rise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
