Now the "wall theatrics" are clear...

"Last month, Israel's Supreme Court ordered the army to remove a small portion of the barrier and to reroute other sections to reduce the harm imposed on Palestinians who were cut off from lands they need.

The court asserted that Israel has a genuine security reason for building the barrier and can expropriate land in the West Bank for it. But it said the army "has a legal duty to balance properly between security considerations and humanitarian ones."

"We will abide by the ruling of our own High Court and not the panel in The Hague, with judges from the European Union who are not suspected of being particularly disposed toward Israel," Yosef Lapid, Israel's justice minister, told army radio in remarks made before the court ruling was announced."

"The panel in the Hague", not the World Court. They have learned much from Joseph Goebbels of Nazi infamy!

The Isra'Eli Supreme Court, knowing that the World Court was going to condemn the Apartheid Wall, decided to create a diversion by minimizing the issue and giving some ground (literally) to deflect the World Court's decision and yet provide an illusion of concern.

The only democracy in the Middle East, indeed!
