*In what has become an all too familiar pattern, a 19 year old Jewish man was stabbed today in the back by a Palestinian terrorist while attempting to hitchhike in Mishor Adumim (the industrial park of Ma’ale Adumim beside Jerusalem) . The man is in serious condition in Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
The terrorist ran towards a group at the hitchhiking spot and attempted to stab as many as he could, but “only” succeeded in stabbing one.
The police believe that the attack “may have been nationalistically oriented” and have opened an investigation (remember yesterday’s blog about political correctness).
TODAY’S BLOG:
The Israeli and international “Left” are reeling over a series of Israel Supreme Court decision in the last few months. Self-proclaimed Israeli “human rights” NGOs in particular must be wondering what has gone “wrong.”
After years of Court decisions which undermined Israel, do we now finally see a light at the end of the judicial tunnel?
Let’s go back and review a few of these decisions:
*On February 12, the Court rejected an attempt by the family of Rachel Corrie and Human Rights Watch to overturn the rejection of civil damages in their “wrongful death” case against the IDF and Israel government. Corrie, you remember, was an International Solidarity Movement “activist” who was killed when she intentionally placed herself in front of a bulldozer.
In making the decision, the Court ruled that Corrie was interfering in “combat activities”, and the government cannot be held responsible for damages in a war zone.
*On April 16, the Court rejected an appeal by several NGOs against the “anti-Boycott” law. The law allows individuals an groups to file civil lawsuits seeking compensation from those who call for boycotts against Israel.
One of the judges, Meltzer, wrote: “Thus the call for boycott falls into the category that is known in constitutional literature: the democratic paradox, which allows for limiting the rights of those who seek to enjoy the fruits of democracy in order to harm it. Calling for boycott and participating in it, therefore, can sometimes be considered ‘political terror.’”

*On May 6, the Court rejected a request initiated by Rabbis for Human Rights to halt the demolition of a Palestinian squatters’ village in Sussiya in the south Hebron Hills.
The Court found no reason to believe that the village was built on “Palestinian land”–and that the squatters (who are from the nearby Palestinian settlement of Yatta) can easily return to their actual homes nearby.
*This morning, the High Court rejected a petition by Ir Amin and Tag Meir that sought to stop the annual Rikudegalim “Flag March” through eastern Jerusalem and the Muslim Quarter of the old city.
The justices ruled that the march is a legitimate expression of free speech.
In sum, whereas the leftist NGOs would have you believe that the Israel Supreme Court is undermining democracy, the Court seems to be moving in a direction that is more supportive of Israel and more supportive of democracy.
This is a very good development.
