In near record time, an indictment for assault was filed against an Israeli man who allegedly threw two shoes at Supreme Court President Judge Dorit Beinish while she presided over a court hearing on Wednesday. One shoe hit her in the face, breaking her glasses and knocking her off her chair. The other shoe missed. The accused said he was acting to avenge a ruling by a family affairs court. The incident sparked a wave of supporting comments in favor of the court, which had recently come under mounting criticism by politicians and pundits for clashing with Knesset laws.
