Supreme Court's "Disruptive" Decision

 More than twenty years ago, a brave, pioneering farmer had painstakingly removed every rock from a field. Tractors, and more likely, the hardworking hands of young people, had gone through the fields, removing rock after rock, preparing the ground to plant a vineyard. 

The farmer planted and tended the fields carefully, laboring for the first three years without any profit. Finally, after years of hard work and investment, he had a beautiful vineyard. 

Now, all one sees are piles of broken vines. One couldn’t help remembering when  walking through the rows of this vineyard more than a year and a half ago, filming a video in a desperate attempt to change the minds of the court in Israel that had called for its destruction.

 

Believe it or not, the courts decided that the vineyard came under what is known as a disruptive use order. This means that if an Arab lays claim to a piece of land, the courts can call for its owners to be evicted, and the land destroyed, even if the Arab does not show proof of ownership.

That is exactly what happened in this case. No one had brought proof of ownership. The land is not owned by Arabs. It was barely even disputed. After being bulldozed, no one will move onto it, no buildings will be built, and no farms will be planted here. It was simply the wish of Israel’s court system that it be destroyed, and in a way, the wish of the international community. 

Because now, the world should be happy with Israel. They demanded that Israel not build and farm in Judea and Samaria in exchange for peace. Now that a vineyard has been bulldozed, they should be happy, right?  No! The world will continue shouting that Israel must give up land for peace. The settlements in the “West Bank” are the problem, they’ll say, and those “pesky settlers” are just standing in the way of a Palestinian state.
