The People vs. Benjamin Netanyahu
# Scene: The Tribunal Chamber
*Three judges sit elevated at the bench. The courtroom is tense, packed with observers, journalists, and representatives of victims. Netanyahu sits with his defense counsel. The witness stand holds Dr. \[Redacted], Forensic Psychiatrist. A hush falls.*
---
**Judge (Presiding):** This chamber will hear the testimony of Dr. \[Redacted], forensic psychiatrist, in the matter of *The People vs. Benjamin Netanyahu.* Proceed, Prosecutor.
---
**Prosecutor:** Doctor, you have studied the accused’s behavior, public record, and psychological profile. In clear terms, is he mentally ill?
**Psychiatrist:** No, Your Honors. Mr. Netanyahu does not suffer from a mental illness that would impair judgment. He is competent, deliberate, and fully aware of his actions.
---
**Prosecutor:** Then how do you explain the repeated decisions to escalate conflict, despite the devastating civilian toll?
**Psychiatrist:** His psychology is characterized by entrenched narcissism — a belief in his indispensability — coupled with antisocial traits. He externalizes blame, equates personal survival with national survival, and employs war as a means of delaying legal consequences.
---
**Defense Counsel (rising):** Objection, speculative! The witness is not privy to my client’s inner thoughts.
**Judge (Presiding):** Overruled. The tribunal recognizes the role of psychiatric inference in forensic evaluation. Proceed.
---
**Prosecutor:** Doctor, are you suggesting the accused wages war not only for national defense, but to avoid personal accountability?
**Psychiatrist:** That is consistent with the evidence. The continuation of conflict serves as both political shield and psychological defense, reframing his legal jeopardy as a threat to the state itself.
---
**Defense Counsel (leaning forward):** Doctor, let me be clear. You admit my client is sane. You admit he is competent. Then all you have described are traits of a skilled politician. Is ambition now a psychiatric crime?
**Psychiatrist (calmly):** Ambition is not. But when ambition fuses with narcissism, moral disengagement, and disregard for human life, it becomes dangerous pathology.
---
*The chamber stirs. Netanyahu, until now stone-faced, leans forward, eyes blazing.*
**Netanyahu (interrupting):** Dangerous? I defended my people! I stood where weak men would have faltered! Without me, Israel falls!
**Judge (firmly):** The accused will remain silent unless addressed.
---
**Prosecutor (seizing the moment):** Doctor, you just heard the accused. Does this outburst illustrate your findings?
**Psychiatrist:** Precisely. He equates his own survival with that of the nation. It is the cornerstone of his psychology — self and state fused as one.
---
**Defense Counsel (coldly):** Doctor, are you diagnosing my client with evil?
**Psychiatrist (after a pause):** Psychiatry does not diagnose evil. But it can describe the structure of a mind that permits atrocity without remorse.
---
*The judges exchange grave looks. The gallery murmurs. Netanyahu sits back, fists clenched, his face pale with fury. The gavel strikes.*
**Judge (Presiding):** Enough. The tribunal will recess. The testimony will continue tomorrow.
*Lights dim as the chamber empties under heavy silence.*
