1. This is more than absolute TOTAL insanity... it is EVIL
Replace the COURT ,   in Israel   (05.07.12)
Does the Piece Now sponsored court actually plan to destroy these beautiful homes and turn the land into sheep pasture??? This is like a trip on contaminated drugs. It's a NIGHTMARE.
2. #1 Better idea: Eject the settler squats
Muayyad ,   Palestine   (05.07.12)
3. Crack Down Hard on Yesh Din and others
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (05.07.12)
There is no more democrocy in Israel when judges can't be interviewed before they get the job like in the states. It is not democracy when Foreign Goverments spy and fund NGOs to control policy. It's not democrocy when bribes and blackmail are the rule of the day. Israelis have to make a choice act like a colony of the US and Europe with a third world justice system or crack down hard on these foreign goverment NGOs and thier funders.
4. Sickening, the 3 judges are traitors
Eli ,   ISRAEL   (05.07.12)
5. Israel's Supreme Court violates International Law...
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.07.12)
..by denying Jews the right to Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Regarding Israel's Supreme Court's statements regarding Israel's legal status in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. The man ultimately responsible for the pernicious but false notion that Israel is an "occupying power" in Judea, Samaria and Gaza is a man called Meir Shamgar who advocated "military government" in Judea, Samaria, Golan, Gaza and Sinai after the Six Day War in 1967. In short: The tragic mistake and violation of law committed by Shamgar has been made immeasurably worse by TWO recent Supreme Court judgments, rendered by the President of the Supreme Court and former Attorney-General, Aharon Barak, who decided, WITHOUT REFERENCE to any of the aforementioned laws or international documents (San Remo treaty e.g.) that indicated otherwise, that Judea, Samaria and Gaza are indeed territories held by Israel under "belligerent occupation". Barak, in his off-the-mark judgments, did not specify the states or people whose land Israel has been occupying or when such states or people were recognized under international law as having the sovereign right to Judea, Samaria and Gaza. That's where it comes from - an internal mistake by Shamgar and Barak. Israel's Supreme Court has power in Israel whereas ICJ has none. The San Remo treaty of 1920 (and also verified and confirmed by the Anglo-American treaty signed December 3rd 1924 in London UK) stipulated the borders of the Jewish state and the borders of the Jewish state were meant to be Cis-Jordan (including Jerusalem, Gaza, Judea, Samaria and Golan Heights), Trans-Jordan (Jordan) and SOUTHERN LEBANON UP UNTIL THE BEND OF THE LITANI RIVER. According to the San Remo treaty and the Anglo-American treaty - legally binding documents that the UN and the world violate EVERY DAY, these territories belong to Israel. And further more: the Doctrine of Estoppel is a principle used in international law and the Doctrine of Estoppel means that a country cannot violate a treaty they signed before. Examples: many decades ago, the world, including Norway, agreed that Greenland belongs to Denmark. Norway singed that treaty. Decades later the Norwegians claim Greenland - in direct violation of the Doctrine of Estoppel. Since the world has already agreed to the borders of the Jewish state (San Remo treaty and Anglo-American treaty) the world cannot violate those legally binding treaties.
6. Israel's Enemy #1
Yosef Y. MSc' ,   USA   (05.07.12)
Bagatz and other "justice" institutions including the Kneset ARE the reason why thousands of Jews and Israelis (including myself) refuse to live in the Jewish state. This is same as Lashon Harah and Jewish self hate, justified by "democratic" moral equivalency.
7. Chaos and anarchy in Israel.
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (05.07.12)
Sorry to say it is not clear for me, that in Israel which one is the most significant political authority ? The Government or the Supreme Court ? If a citizen submits a file to the court, to cease and disband the IDF, because it is dangerous to the neighbours, will it be ordered if Supreme Court agrees to do so ?
8. #1 These houses were built on Palestinian land...
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (05.07.12)
in violation of international law. So yes, take them down, and make sure you leave the place as you found it: in pristine condition. What's wrong with sheep pasture anyway?
9. to the right wingers crying "foul" and "left wing court"
Revisionist ,   Israel   (05.07.12)
people sit down! Really you guys tire with your belly achin' Y just two months ago you were all singin' and dancin' in the streets because you got what you wanted that is Justice Grunis appointment. Now because YOU don't agree with his decision you want him and the other judges ousted! Really? Will one of you please explain how this is democracy? and while you are at it go right ahead and explain how this fits in with traditional revisionist views.
10. here we go again, tantruming settlers over the summer!
(05.07.12)
11. CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dumbfounded ,   usa   (05.07.12)
12. STUPID LOW COURT OF ISRAEL!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (05.07.12)
The members of this low court must be razed from their posts. To raze this setlement is almost to repeat another Gush Katif. These imbeciles have not learnt yet? What rights do they have to live in Israel ?Are not them "settlers" in "others lands" also? I have to speak in a stupid way for these idiots understand the idiocy they are rulling! BUNCH OF NASTY PEOPLE who can not rule even their asses !
13. Israel Supreme Court: "I am the State"
BH ,   Iowa   (05.07.12)
14. Ben Alofs #8
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Gush Etzion   (05.07.12)
A Dutch citizen who practices medicine in a clinic in the UK and palms himself off as a medical doctor (physician) when, in fact, he is a practical nurse. And this man is morally indignant?
15. The Court Betrays it's people!
Riva ,   Israel   (05.07.12)
There are NO words suitable for the corruption that has taken place!
16. Why have elections? Supreme court rules
forever and ever   (05.07.12)
17. Government and the Law
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.07.12)
A government that does not obey the law sets a precedence for the citizens of that country. Is it a surprise that the crime rate is rising daily in Israel, that teenagers are murdering people and that theft has become common place? No, it is not a surprise, sadly...the government is setting the example.
18. A few questions for Muayyad and Ben Alofs
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.07.12)
1) Why is "Palestine" a Roman/Latin name? 2) Why is there no letter "p" in Arabic? 3) Nationalism is alien to Arabs who have, for 1400 years, lived as nomads and Beduins in multi-ethnic and multi-racial "Arab" empires whose majority population - locals, subjects, soldiers, mercenaries, scientists, mathematicians, physicians and merchants, were no ethnic Arabs, merely Arab speaking Persians, Kurds, Turks, Jews, Berbers and Africans. Why is that? 4) There is no "Palestine" in the Bible or the Koran. Why? 5) The Bible and the Koran BOTH admit that Israel is the Jewish homeland. How come? 6) Jewish/Israelite history started 2000 B.C.E in Israel - 4000 years ago. Arab history of the original Arabians, started in the 7th century C.E. 1400 years ago, in the southwestern corner of the Arabian peninsula, hundreds of kilometers away from Israel, 2600 years AFTER the start of Jewish civilization. How can Arabs be the "natives" of Israel? 7) Most Arabs arrived in Israel as recently as the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. How is that ancient history and how does that make "Palestinians" the "natives"? 8) When and where exactly did a "Palestinian" state, republic, nation state, kingdom, city state, duchy, principality or empire exist in recorded history, what are the names of kings and dynasties, cities, towns, villages and currency and why is there not a single ancient civilization mentioning anywhere any "Palestinian" state, civilization, nation or people?
19. The Supreme Court must be shown once and for all WHO runs...
This is a democracy! ,   Israel   (05.07.12)
this country. The PEOPLE. Via their democratically elected government. THAT is the RULE OF LAW.
20. The day "rule of law" died in Il, 2nd try, modified
Gábor Fränkl   (05.07.12)
There is no rule of law in Israel. It died an ignomious death. Stomach turning, but also sad, even tragic. This is totally unfit, base and ciorrupt legal junta, has zero to do with legality.
21. What else
Gabor Fränkl   (05.07.12)
would all of us expect from foreign funded traitors and their wink-wink buddies???
22. ONENESS: secular/dati/left/right/etc. for SECURE BIG ISRAEL.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (05.07.12)
23. Its absurd an eviction order's given w/out proving ownership
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.07.12)
Neither Yesh Din or the supposed Arab owner has provided one shred of evidence of proof of ownership - as in the case with Migron. Also, like Migron, the Jews were never given the opportunity to prove ownership. This is unheard of. in no civilized country can someone waive a piece of paper & demand someone be evicted from their home. It has to be proven in court. The justices are pushing their own leftist ideology & ignoring the facts & the rule of law.
24. Judges work for Hamas
Eli ,   Israel   (05.07.12)
These leftist Judges would never be elected if there was a vote in Israel, Israeli Judges are Dictators with abusive power never appointed by the people of Israel rather they appoint themselves through the Rich Class Elite. They work for powerful global leftist orginisations, their goal is to destroy the Jewish State.
25. # 8
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.07.12)
All the way from Wales, show us proof of palestinian ownership. There is none now & there will never be any proof.
26. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.07.12)
First of all, the houses were built on non-sovereign land. There is no sovereign entity called "Palestine," anyway; never has been. Sheep pasture? Pristine condition? Are you out of your mind? Try rocks, dirt and barren wasteland. By the way, private ownership is contested; not proven by any stretch of the imagination. The land was purchased in a good faith transaction. Due diligence does not require the purchaser to ascertain ownership of the land. So the ersatz "Palestinian" who sold the land did not have title free and clear. Let his brother sue him. The houses -- and the neighborhood -- stays exactly the way it is. If you don't like it, nursie boy, go play with your sheep.
27. Just for example:
Keren ,   IL-BR   (05.07.12)
There is an arab town ,in the way from Haifa to Tzfat ,called Madj al Kurum,and they are expanding like crazies,making enormous houses,many,many. Is there somebody in the govt.to stop that absurd or they worry only to destroy the houses of our people? This is the question!
28. The RULE OF LAW means the people and their elected officials
Esq62 ,   Israel   (05.07.12)
The RULE OF LAW means the people and their elected officials make the rules. Not self appointed judicial activist judges with an agenda and secret Swiss bank account.
29. yes #2
avi ,   nyc   (05.08.12)

30. #9
avi ,   nyc   (05.08.12)
