Israel High Court says government acting unlawfully
Bombay News.Net
Monday 4th August, 2008
The Israeli government is under attack form the High Court of Justice.
Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch, and Justices Eliezer Rivlin and Ayala Procaccia have slammed the state for ignoring the court's ruling in relation to the security fence a year ago.
The Court has given the government 45 days to submit a new route for part of the fence which runs through lands belonging to Bil'in villagers, according to a report in the Haaretz newspaper.
A petition was filed in 2005 against the route, which is intended to traverse Modi'in Ilit from the east. In September, 2007 the High Court of Justice ruled the route in the Bil'in area is illegal, and ordered the state to devise, within a reasonable time, an alternative route that would be less detrimental. The court also instructed the state to plan the route so that it runs through state land, not privately owned Palestinian property.
The villagers wrote to the court two months ago, saying that the state has still not presented an alternative, and that work is being done on the ground that jeopardizes implementation of the order.
At the hearing on Sunday, the state argued that the court had ordered it merely to consider altering the route, exigencies permitting.
An angry Beinisch told the state's representative Avi Licht, "We rule that this route cannot remain as is, and we determine what will and will not be in the new route."
Licht responded: "This matter was clear, and was taken all the way to the defense minister." To which Beinisch replied: "He may have been mistaken." Licht then asked: "In other words, we did not comply with the verdict?" To which Beinisch replied: "Yes."
Attorney Michael Sfard, who represents the villagers, welcomed the court's decision on Sunday, but was less than optimistic about the outcome. "The High Court has to date rejected four routes of the fence that was already built, but to this day the government of Israel has not complied with a single verdict," he told Haaretz.

Why would the government obey the laws of Israel when it seems to know no laws otherwise?

G_D gave land of Israel to the Jews
Somehow, the jews lost the plot when they rejected the teachings of Jesus. Two thousand years ago, the jews lost Israel because they ignored the prophet Jesus. You will loose it again if you do not start behaving like the choosen race and believe in God rather than mans greed. Jesus is very wise and is inspiring billions of people around the world. Embrace Jesus and his love and you will embrace G_D

Fence Schmence
The simple answer to a large part of Israel’s problems, is first to remind the world that G_D gave the Land of Israel to the Jews, and then banish everything and everyone from Israel that is not Jewish, whether they were born there or not ... Stop worrying about what somebody else will think ... stop being hindered by bogus Political Correctitude ... Do what is right according to Torah ... G_D told the Prophet, “Kill everything that lay before you ..." The Prophet took pity on the women, children, and the aged and spared them ... G_D told him that decision would one day bite him in the ass ... and so it has ....... When are we going to learn???

If the 12:33pm Poster is truthful...
... , then hitler had to be correct, and the world ever since has been duped!
Jews and zionists outside the restricted zone must suffer the same fate! Such being the other side of god’s coin.

By hook or by crook
Yes the Jewish people have a mental complex that is incorporated in their DNA, and that is that they must obtain their promised land, either by hook or by crook, and by doing this they have and are creating a lot of disharmony in this planet of ours, they have caused many hardships upon others and upon themselves through their stubburness of obtaining this promised land, it seems to me that these people have not learned through the centuries that really nothing belongs to us, but we are here in this planet to enjoy what the planet offers, and we should practice the “Live and let live” mentality if we want to live in peace with ourselves and with athers that surround us.
Sammy, a poor “Free thinker” but a happy one at that, and not a lamenting Jew.
