Israel's Anti-Zionist Court

The Israeli courts and political establishment view Jewish lives to be less important than arab convenience and also less important than appeasing the demands of the UN, EU and far left NGO's and "human rights" groups which are complicit with hamas and fatah in the murder of Jews and the attempts to obliterate Israel. The Israeli populace must place in power those who have the backbone to stand up to international pressure and realize that the only way Israel will ever have peace and security is by expelling the muslim enemies from the Jewish homeland.

Another Tack: A sheer blindfold for show

Last week's High Court decision to open Route 443 to both Jewish and
Arab traffic generated lots of squawk. However, another decision, only
months earlier, to forbid "mixed" traffic failed to excite much
interest. The petitions in both cases were nearly identical, yet the
rulings appear completely contradictory. One common denominator,
though, does stand out - both decisions are detrimental to Jews. No
way can the High Court of Justice be accused of inconsistency - not
even when it blatantly applies diametrically different logic to
different litigants.

Nearly a decade ago the IDF banned residents of settlements like Dolev
and Talmon from using the highway that bypasses Beitunya - a village
near Ramallah with quite a murderous record. The second intifada raged
then and the defense establishment reckoned that, for their own
safety, it would be better for Jews not to make their way to Jerusalem
via a route adjacent to hostile hamlets. The joker in the pack is that
the road in question is a detour ordained directly after the advent of
Osloite bliss to deliberately keep Jews from chafing against their new
"peace partners."

The long and the short of it is that the road constructed to protect
Jews from terrorist predations was closed to Jews - to protect them
from terrorist predations. Some 6,000 residents of the Binyamin
region's westerly section were therefore forced to get to Jerusalem by
travelling in the opposite direction. What should have been a
half-hour car ride was prolonged to at least an hour-and-a-half.
Instead of going eastward, they were forced to travel west and then
south via a convoluted course to Modi'in, from whence they enter Route
443 and, at long last, turn east toward the capital. A 10-kilometer
drive was effectively quadrupled.

NONE OF the promises to construct a shortcut to 443 were kept. The
partially begun project was transformed into yet another
no-Jews-allowed road to alleviate pressure on local Arabs, the very
ones who menace Dolev Jews. At long last, with no relief in sight, the
latter petitioned the Jewish state's High Court to allow them to use
the same road as their Arab neighbors. The state's position was that
this would constitute "grave danger" and that, despite the undeniable
inconvenience, Jews must circumvent the thoroughfare barred to them.

This time the court cheerfully chimed in with the IDF tune and judged
that while Jewish drivers are indeed put out, the damage to them is
"proportional." Nobody quite explained by which criteria said
proportions were determined, but the verdict claimed that for the sake
of the Jewish plaintiffs' self-preservation they must head for 443 to
reach Jerusalem on a traffic artery unmenaced by Arab snipers,
fire-bombers, stone-throwers and ambushers.
