" After reviewing the parties' arguments we have not found the main arguments which we , as well as other claims raised in the requests , reveal grounds for leave to appeal , having regard to the provisions of Section 73 ( a) of the Election Law which will be given permission to appeal on questions of law only," the judges wrote in their decision .

Justice Rubinstein said, " I will add the words of Tanna Rabbi Ishmael, away from the ugliness and the similar one ( Bavli Hullin MD , B., and see Rakover , where 92-91 ) . These words speak for them. We must turn away from the ugliness - by his ugliness. Thus we uploaded our role while another Unit ruled the lower court.
A few weeks ago held a hearing in the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, appeal against the decision of the administrative court in Jerusalem repeated elections in Beit Shemesh . The court whether to allow the right to appeal the court's decision , and only then , if and whenever appropriate to allow an appeal will open the second part of the trial will deal with appeals .

The petition to cancel the decision to cancel the election filed Mayor Moshe Aboutbul , and acting Meir Belaish . They argued that the election should be repeated only at the polls where forgeries were discovered.

Haredi parties did not wait, have already started the preparations for the new election, promising a raging battle: "mobilize and we will fight for every vote," senior officials of ultra-Orthodox parties said to B'Chadrei Charedim.

Recall, the Attorney General asked the Supreme Court not to appeal the decision to cancel the election results Municipality of Beit Shemesh.

Aboutbul: Congratulations on that Haredim can still vote
Mayor Rabbi Moshe Aboutbul commented that the trend of 'no Aboutbuls and Haredim' also penetrates ivory, leaving an entire community lost because of his faith, his mind and his community.

"He 'congratulated' that courts have not yet rejected the right of the Haredi public vote, and no doubt the spirit of those days , even this step to do , like step of disqualifying electoral empty things , staining the entire public only because of their skullcap and bearded chin .

"The court has spoken, but now the turn of Beit Shemesh residents have their say, and that's what he would repeat elections, when everyone will see that the persecution of the haredi community does not pass the ballot, is outrageous but it also will lead to full mobilization of all sectors of the public to keep for their votes. "

"My hope," says the mayor, " because after we win re-election with G-d's help, will not try again to thwart the will of the voters, and dictate who to choose and what to choose as there are regimes who do not remember the good. Court dragged Beit Shemesh inyo another election , we are not unhappy about it , but also not afraid , we have no doubt there will be a full mobilization , and the public, including traditional public will unite together for the continued development of Beit Shemesh as known in recent years.
Shmuel Greenberg, Deputy Mayor responded to the decision: "There is no doubt public pressure influenced the court swept inciting media atmosphere, and interesting test the evidence meager and sparse. I regret to say that if it was somewhere else, the judgment was different. Where there is very unfortunate Orthodox fragrance, judgment and acts according to our advantage. Day of judgment rule out rare and unprecedented democratic elections based on rumors and bucket evidence, is a day of mourning for Democracy and the State of Israel.

"We have no doubt where the inhabitants of Governors of Beit Shemesh prove once again that you cannot take the right to vote from them and will benefit all attempts to change the election results. Public has spoken once, and say it in a clear voice again."

MK Asher responded: " My heart goes out to Nazareth residents caught in new elections only because the Supreme Court's decision for repeated elections in Beit Shemesh . Who said that politics is only in the Knesset? "

MK Moshe Gafni said: "It was clear that the court will not give up the opportunity to remove ultra-Orthodox mayor from office. Had the court's authority to determine that Eli Cohen is the mayor; the judges would do that too. I never believed in court and hope that it is clear and proven over and over again. "
Deputy Knesset Speaker MK Uri Maklev, said: "The decision was known in advance, we had no illusion that the outcome of things. Court has once again strengthened his anti Orthodox and unilateralism. Act in unity and God willing we will succeed. "

Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri responded to the decision: " The Court's intervention in the democratic process and decision on new elections in Beit Shemesh very unfortunate representative Shas Rabbi Moshe Aboutbul run again and I have no doubt, God willing, he will win by a large margin, more public Beit Shemesh prove that for the intervention of the court in a democratic process. "

Rabbi Yisrael Silverstein, city council member from Beit Shemesh Degel HaTorah , commented: "Once again, the Court has now stabilized Haredi public pounding , this time select to handle ultra-Orthodox residents of Beit Shemesh . Supreme Court today quashed blatantly the basic rights of the Haredi community.

"In Israel of Tsha"d the judiciary is the media, the court is the agent. Turns out those democratic values do not apply when the Orthodox is upon entering the court. This is bullying a legal mantle reminiscent of the legal systems in third world countries. Currently the haredi take off sleeves, unite around the candidacy of Mayor Moshe Aboutbul, and will bring a great victory and unequivocal election. Truth will triumph! "
