Journalist Eli Tzipori, recently acquitted in a NIS 3 million defamation suit filed by Channel 12, said in a radio interview that Israeli courts are 'like roulette' and contain a 'pronounced anti-right segment.'

The comments come a week after the Tel Aviv District Court cleared him of libel for repeatedly calling Channel 12 'Al Jazeera 12', a case The Zioneer previously covered.
