. . . BREAKING NEWS . . .
8:17 pm: Judge in military court rejects military prosecution request to return Hevron soldier to prison; instead orders that he remain under “house arrest” on open military base.
12:00 pm: Following morning “rock” attacks by Palestinian terrorists on Israeli motorists, the Gilead and Hawara Roads in Samaria are closed to all Palestinian traffic.
UPDATES 9:00 am Israel time:
–>Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
*When is a stabbing not a terrorist event? When the Israeli police are involved.
Remember the stabbing that took place two days ago in Rosh Ha’ayin?
In that stabbing an Arab woman stabbed an Israeli woman in the head while yelling “I’ll kill you!” She continued trying to stab others around her until Israeli citizens managed to hold her at bay with plastic chairs. As of this morning, the police are still refusing to call the event a “terror” attack.
By the way, the woman’s mother claimed yesterday that her daughter (the attacker) “loves Jews” and was only carrying a knife because she is on a diet and uses the knife to cut up fruit and vegetables for salad.
*Yesterday at 4:45 pm, an Israeli man was stabbed twice in the back near a kiosk in Kiryat Gat. He is described as in “moderate” condition this morning. The attacker escaped. Again, the police are refusing to call this a terror attack.
*Yesterday morning, a soldier was stabbed in Tzur Yitzhak. He was rushed to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba with “moderate” wounds. A full-scale helicopter search failed to locate the terrorist. This morning, again, the police are refusing to call the attack a “terror” incident and are even suggesting that the soldier stabbed himself.
Unbelievable.
*In other attacks yesterday, terrorists threw Molotov firebombs at cars and trucks on Road 443 near the Maccabim checkpoint and at the Shilat intersection. “Rock” attacks occurred at such places as Ras al-Amud, Adam Square, and Huwara.
–>The Duma fiasco continues . . .
Regular readers of this blog should be up to date on the endless arson that has struck all of the Dawabshe families of Duma before and after the infamous incident last July 31st in which 3 members of one of the Dawabshe families (father Sa’ed, mother Riham, child Ali) died.
The most recent fire occurred on March 20 at the house of Ibrahim Dawabshe–a relative of the victims who lived next door–and one of the supposed witnesses in the upcoming trial of the Israeli man from whom a confession was extracted under torture. Even Palestinian investigators were quick to point out that the fire at Ibrahim Dawabshe’s house was not started by “Jews.”
Well guess what? Events took another turn yesterday with the arrest of Wisam Hussein Dawabsheh, the brother of Riham Dawabsheh (the mother who died in the fire).
No reason was given for the arrest except that it was related to the numerous arson attacks in Duma.
–>The Palestinian electricity fiasco continues . . .
Because the Palestinians now owe 1.74 billion shekels in unpaid electricity bills to the Israel Electric Company (IEC), the IEC has begun rotating blackouts of Palestinian cities.
Yesterday afternoon, electricity was reduced by 50% to Bethlehem; tomorrow Jericho will lose power in the afternoon.
As we have often remarked on this blog, the absurdity is that Israelis end up paying higher electricity rates because of Palestinian payment shortfalls. The added absurdity is that the Obama Administration and European Union are pressuring Israeli to keep the lights on.
But perhaps the biggest absurdity of all is that the infantile Palestinians know that they don’t have to pay for electricity or water or anything else–because they know that eventually, someone will pay their bills for them.
TODAY’S BLOG:
The de facto government of the state of Israel.
In your humble servant’s opinion, the entire ability of the Israeli government to function is being severely undermined by the Israel Supreme Court. We have often expressed this viewpoint in the past, but events of the last week demonstrate more than ever how the judiciary is out of control.
There is no such thing as a final governmental decision anymore because everyone just waits for the Court to intervene. Everybody appeals everything to the Court, and government grinds to a halt until the Court decides. The Court itself revels in the fact that it has become the de facto government of this country churning out decision after decision that dictate policy.
Consider some of the decisions of the last week alone:
*The Supreme Court denied Meir Ettinger’s request to attend his son’s circumcision.
*The Supreme Court denied the Women of the Wall’s request to carry the Torah into the Kotel Plaza and into the women’s section at the Wall.
*The Supreme Court shot down the Gas Outline deal that the government had created to get gas exploration and development moving in Israel’s offshore gas fields.
*The Supreme Court struck down orders to seal the homes of three of the five terrorists convicted in murder of Alexander Levlovich last September. Only one of the five homes of the terrorists may be demolished (this bizarre ruling was based on how far away from Levlovich’s car each terrorist was when he threw “rocks” at it causing it to crash).
*The Supreme Court ordered that the family of one of the terrorists killed in Hebron eleven days ago could have its own pathologist present at the autopsy.
*The Supreme Court ruled that insofar as the Law of Return is concerned, Israel must recognize private Jewish conversions performed within the orthodox system that are not within the official state conversion system.
*The Supreme Court rejected an appeal of the Upper Nazareth Mayor Shimon Gafsou of his conviction on bribery charges and ordered him to prison to six months.
And the list goes on and on. Every day brings a new decision about something.

Justice Minister Shaked speaking yesterday.
It is no wonder that Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked blasted the Supreme Court at the annual Israeli Bar Association Conference yesterday in Eilat:
“The classic role of the Court is to protect those affected directly contrary to law, public affairs and decision rules. In the past, the Court demanded the petitioners show unique casualties as a prerequisite, as is the case today in many countries including the United States and England, but . . . there is currently nothing that the Supreme Court cannot discuss. Instead of [advocating for public policy] through the political system everyone chooses to do so within the framework of the legal arena.”
Shaked concluded her remarks by saying, “By the way, I saw that a session will be held here tomorrow about whether judicial activism has crossed a line, exceeding what the law allows it to do. This is a needless question.”
Of course it is a needless question.
The Israel Supreme Court has run amok, and it will take an extraordinary effort by the legislators in the Knesset to rein in its power. That effort is not likely to happen anytime soon.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
