Not suspicious at all.

The Haaretz article included within this blog spot linked below goes into some detail about the difficulties arising from the death of Judge Benny Sagi just when he was about to give the verdict on the submarine case. But within all the detail there are no suggestions that Netanyahu will be affected. I truly think the writers would say if they thought he would be. This Israeli newspaper does not hold back about Netanyahu.

Are you disputing the fact that the judge is dead?

Obviously not.

Yeah I'm sure a pro-Hamas website based in Iran is a reliable source.

Complete conspiracy theorism.

Only without the balls to state the theory outright.
It's mudslinging.

Well then you will realise that I mentioned it at least three times, and copied the case in question. Or did you miss that bit too?

FFS I have read the fucking thread and followed it from the beginning as I couldn't believe what you posted in your OP.

I did. And I mentioned it 3 times. But no one else could be bothered to follow it up. Maybe read the thread and save the criticism.

What’s wrong with copy and paste when those are the facts? You could google it yourself. Save me the bother.

I did. If you'd like to discuss it you could chose to answer my questions. Or flounce? Up to you!

  • State Commission of Inquiry: Established in 2022, the commission is investigating the government's decision-making process in procuring submarines and naval vessels from Germany's Thyssenkrupp between 2009 and 2016. In June 2024, the commission sent warning letters to several high-ranking officials, including Netanyahu, indicating they could be harmed by its conclusions. The commission's work was temporarily frozen in April 2025 by the High Court of Justice due to legal appeals from the officials, but proceedings are expected to continue following High Court hearings.

I would not. I believe there is a high chance that the case will be reopened. And that BN will be up for more charges as a result. But you didn’t want to engage with that, so I will leave it there.

Lol to flouncing again.
You didn't bother answering mine, but I'll do you just in case...

What leads you to think the case could be reopened?
How do you think that would affect BN?
What do you actually think happened in this RTA then?
And why do you think you have the right to know what happened? Were you particularly close to the Judge?

Nigel. Everyone followed it up. Realized it wasn't the judge in the current BN case, which was pointed out to you quite quickly, then lost interest. Then you carried on about other Israeli atrocities, made personal attacks, then flounced off your own thread.
If you'd like to resurrect it, I'll ask you for the 3rd time, whats your actual working theory here? And whats the connection between IDF atrocities and the accident?
Care to answer?

You could have done the same research instead of beginning a thread with a conspiracy theory against Netanyahu.

But he was involved? And now dead? How coincidental.

@nigelisalier I honestly don’t think from reading this that if Judge Benny Sagi were still alive, and about to give the judgement, it would affect Netanyahu personally.

Presumably the other case, which is directly against him, with the three other judges, is pending anyway.

This Haaretz article is about Judge Benny Sagi and the submarine and naval vessel case mentioned. You can read it through archive today.

Fatal Motorcycle Accident Leaves Israel's Most Serious Security Corruption Case in Limbo
Judge Benny Sagi was set to deliver the verdict regarding a suspect in the submarine and naval vessels affair, which concerns two deals with a German conglomerate for the acquisition of submarines and missile boats to defend the natural gas fields off Israel's coast

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2026-01-07/ty-article/.premium/israeli-courts-in-limbo-after-judges-death-leaves-submarine-corruption-verdict-pending/0000019b-9910-dd39-a7ff-fb3a36c50000

One paragraph says,
The main allegation against the prime minister was that he pushed to buy additional submarines for the navy despite defense officials' objections. Netanyahu, former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen and former Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon were not questioned under caution in "Case 3000," which investigated the affair.

So Netanyahu was involved in a way, but not actually a defendant in this particular case that Judge Benny Sagi was presiding over.

And then further, some readers might have just read a few of the posts above, followed a few links, noted Netanyahu's judge passed ( as it still says in the title ) then moved onto something else... but in the back of their minds theres a slight rememberence that BN's judge died in suspicious circumstances and that adds to their overall picture of Israel, feeds into existing prejudices or helps birth them... and before you know it people have a whole mental picture built on misinformation. Some shit sticks.

Sadly, misinformation and hatred lead to an increase in anti semitism but some people don't care about that. Some are quick to share any story if they can suggest Israel bad. They can't help themselves. Probably why less and less visit the CITME board. I find that, on general boards, it's much more balanced with less hatred.

SeaOfKings · 08/01/2026 15:17

To be fair about the spelling of the judge’s name, it’s בני שגיא.

I’ve seen three separate transliterations from the Hebrew used in the Israeli English-language media: Benny Sagi, Beni Sagi, and Beni Sagai. But, the name/surname has always traditionally been spelled and pronounced with a ‘S’ [Sin] not a ‘Sh’ [Shin] as far as I’m aware.
