Summary
The chapter describes David Kretzmer as a role model for a world-renowned expert: the exceptional breadth of his expertise, the razor-sharpness of his inquiries, his ability to differentiate between law and politics in sensitive issues, his courage to deal critically with ‘the embarrassing’, his exemplary teaching, his impeccable intellectual integrity, his activism in protecting human rights and his modesty. The article briefly describes Kretzmer’s contributions on several issues: the legal status of the Israeli Arab-Palestinian citizens, the Israeli belligerent occupation and counter-terrorism measures like deportations, house demolitions and targeted killings, judicial activism and other trends (both transparent and hidden) in the Israeli case law, and racial incitement as a criminal offense. It exemplifies Kretzmer’s impact on the Israeli Supreme Court.
