...squatters on land they will not ever hold sovereignty over. Israel put them there, Israel can bring them home and end this illegal land and resource grab or suffer endlessly for no other reason than religious driven greed and extremism.

Spoils of war to me!

Such a great pity you were'nt at the hearing to voice your warpped opinion. Chief Justice Dorit Beinish would just adore you !! Better luck next time.

The Supreme court is a joke. They interfere in our lives in so many ways. One week it's over the path for the security fence, now its over the settlement building freeze. Enough all ready, deal with more pressing matters, like rule of law, not civil cases, that haven't been in the courts. What's next questioning if ELAL can fly, or Haaretz can print a newspaper

Dear Charlotte, I'm afraid you are as illeterate in history as is the vast majority of Israelis. Please read my talkback addressed to Chief Justice Dorit Beinish (if it hasn't been censored by Ynetnews) and follow the same advise I gave her.

the country?

do not stop building

...in your mind. The principle that applies is 'territory acquired by war is inadmissible' - that bedrock principle is not subject to change, in fact, it is as important for Israel as it is the Palestinians.

...and no matter how hard you work at trying to deny it, the law has a way of not going away.

...and I also understand that the state of Israel cannot legally vote to break international law. Every time they do so, they simply stack up yet another UN Security Council resolution against them. Israel will eventually pay the piper. No country can be lawless forever.

Israeli settlement throughout the West Bank is explicitly protected by international agreements dating from the World War I era, subsequently reaffirmed after World War II, and never revoked since. The Balfour Declaration of 1917, calling for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,” was endorsed by the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, drafted at the San Remo Conference in 1920, and adopted unanimously two years later. The mandate recognized “the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine” and “the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” Jews were guaranteed the right of “close settlement” throughout “Palestine,” geographically defined by the mandate as comprising land both east and west of the Jordan River (which ultimately became Jordan, the West Bank, and Israel). This was not framed as a gift to the Jewish people; rather, based on recognition of historical rights reaching back into antiquity, it was their entitlement. More at : http://xrl.us/bffemk

I'm rather disappointed by your answer "no need, I understand the laws at issue..." I believe an ingelligent person should be ready to listen and read always more in order to enlarge his knowledge. By censoring my talkback to Chief Justice Beinish and my second talkback to you (this is the third one) Ynetnews is shooting in their own feet. Israel became a master in transforming a good case in a bad trial.

B"H I would like to thank Ynetnews.com for the publication of much of my material, as talkbacks. As a consequence however of what I consider "unreasonable, restrictive and probably politically motivated” censoring of my talkbacks, I’ll post them on my blog, www.thetorahrevolution.blogspot.com. I am utterly appalled and frustrated by the straight-jacket policy and restrictive practices some ynetnews.com editors applied to my mostly civilized and sometimes even doctored-to-be acceptable opinions submitted for publication, at the same time they allowing openly anti-Semitic material to appear from multiple, visibly organized, "palestinian" Arab sources. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the numerous readers for their support and positive feedbacks, encouraging me to continue with the "good work" of presenting a Jewish prospective on some of the issues Jews face in Israel and in the world. It seems that some ynetnews.com editors are determined to starve their readers of this information, of anything Jewish. They seem to be determined to keep even the “Jewish world” column Mizrachi or “Conservative”, unacceptable to Judaism in Israel. I invite readers eager to learn and to distinguish between what is Jewish and what is Western to make www.thetorahrevolution.blogspot.com their home page for censored, Jewish commentary.

BBS you can take that law & shove it where the sun dont shine.
