“Mr. Sharon! Tear Down This Wall… Er… Please? At Your Earliest Convenience? Maybe?”
There are few things more hilarious than watching a body of incompetents with no means of enforcement trying to make their mark on the international scene with their empty and impotent “findings”.
There’s even some value to be found in the International Court of “Justice”‘s latest eruption of idiocy, in that it provides us with a textbook example of just why we should continue to ignore it.
Which we shall.
PARIS, July 9 — The International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled Friday that the security barrier being constructed by Israel in the West Bank is illegal,
Go arrest it, then.
…violates the human rights of Palestinians…
Unicorns as well? Who are these mythical “Palestinians” of which you speak? Do they ride Oliphaunts? No, that would be Haradrim.
Besides, the wall protects the rights of Israeli civilians, chief among which is the right not to be blown to nail-shredded bits by a ragheaded splodeydope on their way to school and/or work, so we really couldn’t care less about the alleged “rights” of your mythical creatures.
…and must be dismantled.
Please try. Oh PLEASE try!
In a nonbinding advisory opinion, the court rejected Israel’s contention that the barrier was essential for its security.
Well, considering that the number of casualties related to Yasser’s goons and their terror attacks have dropped by 70% since July of 2003, or a drop of 90% in the number of attacks since the fence was put up, we offer the nonbinding advisory opinion that the court can take their rejection and shove it up their undoubtedly voluminous asses.
It ruled that Palestinians whose land has been confiscated for the 450-mile barrier should be compensated…
They can send an invoice to the terrorist swine that necessitated the construction of the barrier, then. Or they can eat shit and die. Both are equally fine with us.
…and called on countries not to help Israel build the fence.
Warm up the CATs. Anything the UN or any of their tentacles is against is automatically a Good Thing, so we are now honor bound to help the Israelis finish the construction in any way we possibly can.
“Israel is under an obligation to cease forthwith the works of construction of the wall being built in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, to dismantle forthwith the structure therein situated,” the court said.
They are, are they? Under an obligation to whom, exactly? Care to elaborate on that, perhaps? It’s a bit hard to be impressed unless you know which authority exactly it is that you should be impressed by.
The Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, called the ruling “a victory for the Palestinian people, adding, “We salute this decision condemning the racist wall.”
Wow! A “racist wall?” Whatever will be next? Racist rocks, racist water and racist tumbleweeds? The wonders of Jooish technology never ceases to amaze us.
Only, we’d wish that some of that technology were put to good use by, say, tearing Yasser Arafish to tiny little slivers of bloody flesh.
Israel’s deputy prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said the fence would not be removed. “It’s certainly unpleasant to have the ruling, but it’s more unpleasant to have suicide attacks from territories not defended by the fence,” he said. “The fence is probably uncomfortable and inconvenient for the Palestinians who live alongside of it, but it doesn’t kill. The fence is removable and reversible, and death is not.”
Which is exactly why the latter method is the treatment of choice when it comes to an infestation of paleswinian splodeydopes, but a wall certainly helps as well.
The court ruled14 to 1 against the fence, with the American judge, Thomas Buergenthal, siding with Israel. On a separate question — whether countries should withhold aid and support for the barrier project — the court was split 13 to 2. A Dutch judge, Pieter H. Kooijmans, joined Buergenthal in dissenting from the majority view, which called on countries “not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created” by the wall.
So the Dutch are “against” the wall, but they’re not opposed to getting a piece of the action? Are they french, by any chance?
Palestinian legal advisers said they would seek clarification on what the judges meant by “aid or assistance” and whether the ruling amounted to a call for sanctions against Israel.
Pardon us for not accepting bets on what conclusion they will come up with.
Although the ruling, which was requested by the U.N. General Assembly, is nonbinding, the court’s opinions carry moral and political weight.
…in france. And Massachussetts, but what’s the difference?
Past decisions have been used to pressure governments in the court of public opinion, such as a ruling in 1971 against South Africa’s occupation of Namibia, which led to Namibia’s independence and fueled an economic boycott against South Africa’s white-minority government.
Odd. We always thought that it was the practice of Apartheid that drove the economic sanctions against South Africa. If we’d known back then that it was really all about kicking Namib commie asses, we’d have been the captain of a blockade runner back then.
Israeli officials have argued that the fence is necessary to prevent Palestinian suicide bombers from entering Israel from the West Bank, and they point to the dramatic drop in suicide attacks in the 18 months that the wall has been under construction. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who first conceived of the wall, has called it a temporary solution to Palestinian attacks.
“But hey, if you want a permanent solution, we can deliver one of those as well. Just don’t come crying afterwards, y’hear?”
But Palestinians have denounced the barrier, which cuts deep into West Bank territory to encompass Jewish settlements, as an attempt by Israel to grab Palestinian land.
Not to mention how the “racist wall”, at night when nobody’s looking, creeps ever further into “palestinian lands” under its own power. It’s a Fence Golem, we tell you!
Palestinians also say the construction project has hindered attempts to negotiate a solution to the long-running Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
Of course it has. It has swept the rug out from under the threat of violence against innocent civilians that those “darling” paleswinians used to count on as leverage.
And this is a Bad Thing?
We’re frightfully sorry if we have somehow managed to, inadvertently, give you the impression that the opinions of a bunch of genocidal freaks matters a rusty farthing to us, because we assure you that they don’t.
As a matter of fact, the more the paleswinians whine, the more convinced we are that the fence is a brilliant idea.
Am Yisrael Chai!

Didn’t I just read that the UN wants to put up a SECURITY FENCE around THEIR HQ building ?
Isn’t that speccciiaaal!!!!
You may have just inspired the next work of children’s literature in Palestine. “Little Abai and the Fence of Zion” will be an instant classic, rivaling Michael Moore’s books among the dozens, perhaps hundreds of literate neighbors to Israel.
The UN, the EU, and Islamofascists in the Muslim world are intensifying their process of creating a very hostile anti-American/ anti-Western/ and anti-Semitic axis that threatens the US, Israel, and other democracies.
If we don’t stop it soon, we will all be subservient to a New World Order … controlled by UNELECTED ELITES in the UN who have been appointed by their respective authoritarian and despotic rulers, who are hostile to the US and Western culture, and who will redistribute our wealth and resources to their own pockets.
(5 years ago, I would have called myself one of those “New World Order” conspiracy cranks. But I see it occurring in the upside down world we live in today.)
I’m just glad that Israel is not interested one whit what this court has to say. The fact that Im not daily hearing about the latest deadly bomb attacks in Israel is enough for me to support this wall. People would do well to remember that theres alot of Jewish settlers that had their homes demolished as well to make way for this unpleasant but effective solution.
Where was the International Court of “Justice” when the Soviets built the Berlin Wall?
If Israel wanted to build a fence right through my house to keep out the “Palestinians”, I would at least give the matter some thought before I told them to buzz off. Israel has right to self-defense, and this wall is much cheaper, and more humane, that the solution that I would advocate.
Only in leftist-land can discomfort be a worse fate than being killed… The Israeli’s are putting up this wall to keep their citizens safe, and to remove much of the need of the IDF to kill “Palestinian” civilians. The ONLY way the lefties would be happy is if all the Jewish Israelis happily (or unhappily, the left isn’t picky) marched right into the Mediterranean Sea and drowned themselves. That way, the “Palestinian” suicide bombers would not have any reason to splodeydope themselves all over Israeli citizens.
To quote one of my favorite commentators, “Peace is NOT the absense of conflict”. The “Palestinians” aren’t interested in peace, they are interested in there not being any Jews to conflict with. As many of us have mentioned, the IDF is practicing near-superhuman restraint in NOT killing every damn(ed) “Palestinian” they can find. Now THAT, as a tactic, would cut down on suicide bombing really quick. But, the IDF, being comprised mostly of people who fear the Living God, don’t do that, because they have compassion. The “Palestinian” splodeydopes, do not.
“We will have peace in Israel when the Arabs love their children more than they hate ours.” Golda Meir.
Humble Devildog,
“We will have peace in Israel when the Arabs love their children more than they hate ours.” Golda Meir.
And we all know this will NEVER happen as long as Muslims and Arabs continue to inculcate a culture of death within their populations, and glorify the killing of innocents in “martyrdom operations”.
Why did Arafat reject Israel’s offer at Camp David in 2000? Simple. He’s pursuing his 1974 Phased Plan of eliminating Israel, and he’s not interested in peaceful co-existence in a 2-state solution.
fdcol63,
I know that, and you know that, and Israel knows that, and President Bush knows that, and most of the LC’s know that, and most of the world knows that, but does the UN care about that? No, because the UN is passively (best case scenario) supporting the elimination of Israel. Because the UN wants Israel gone (pesky Jews! Why do they have to believe in that whole “Right and Wrong” thing?!), the LLL’s want Israel gone. So, the LLL’s, the UN, and the Muslims (not Arabs, Israel has many Arab allies and supporters, but very few of them are Muslim, or in power) will keep making excuses for Yasir Asshat, and keep condemning Israel.
The chain of violence in Israel, at least in the 20th century, is rather easy to follow. It starts with THE UN kicking the “Palestinians” off of “their” land, not the Israelis. The Jews who first settled modern day Israel were ALREADY THERE! The Jewish Israelis were attacked first. Every thing they have done since has been in self-defense. Everything the “Palestinians” have done has been an unprovoked attack.
If the UN would at least make an effort to stop the palesimians from building and launching rockets at Israel from the UN CONTROLLED CAMPS, then we might even listen to them for half a second.
Once the whole UN/oil for food scandal finally blows up, (if the press will let it), then you think MAYBE people will start to see the UN as the anti-semetic crooks they’ve always been?
Nah, me neither…
Judge, you’ve nailed it right on!
When they began these memes years ago,
they had at least token traction, while
the courteous among us listened to their talk.
But their walk is the swagger of abusive,
arrogant and elitist tyrants, so their TALK
loses traction.
Crying “Wolf!” and pointing at bloodied,
Jewish lambs has had the effect of
raising our awareness of the duplicitousness
of the wolf-callers!
Good on ya, Israel!
Judge, and what about using UN ambulances to transport guns and “militants”? The UN and all its hopelessly corrupt “committees” are about as useful as tits on a boar.
The San Fransisco Chronicle has a little poll going about support for the fence. Go vote your conscience.
From another article on this topic came this gem of a quote:
I seem to remember a negotiated peace settlement establishing a Palestinian state back around the 1940s. What would they like us to do? Go back in time?
Cheney gets a call from his “boss”, W.
“I’ve got a problem,” says W.
“What’s the matter?” asks Cheney.
“Well, you told me to keep busy in the Oval Office, so, I got a jigsaw puzzle, but it’s too hard. None of the pieces fit together and I can’t find any edges.”
“What’s it a picture of?” asks Cheney.
“A big rooster,” replies W.
“All right,” sighs Cheney, “I’ll come over and have a look.”
So he leaves his office and heads over to the Oval Office. W points at the jigsaw on his desk.
Cheney looks at the desk and then turns to W and says, “For crying out loud, Georgie – put the corn flakes back in the box.”
Sorry about the above the lame joke in the above post.
I have a really bad case of constipation so all the shit is backing up into my brain.
To anonymous:
Reading your narrative above referring to corn flakes, it appears you are really suffering from mental colostomy as opposed to some form of constipation. That is, you obviously remove your brain, putting it into a little bag, before writing or speaking. Therefore, you make little sense.
I am afraid there is no treatment for this malady at this acute and fatal stage. The Imperial Medical Corp perhaps can proscribe something to relieve your pain.
You know.. If the UN doesn’t like Israel’s temporary solution to the problem of dealing with an implacable enemy that will simply never stop until they are dead.. I’m sure Israel has a “Final Solution” ready.. The jooooooos do have experience in this matter.
BBC Talking Points
Talk about more idiotic spew on this topic…as usual the BBC Talking Points site is full of anti-Isreal, anti-American dribble.
I really do not know why I still look at that sad web site…maybe just to see what the enemy is thinking perhaps….
Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stated Israel’s position succinctly and firmly, thus telling the Useless Nitwits where they could get off, and showing the world what bunch of empty scrotums (scroti?) the *spit* un *spit* consists of. I hope the Israel govt. does not waver on this decision.
I almost hope that the rumors of representatives from the “Stink on the East River” monitoring our elections in Nov. are true. I do hope they try that here in NYC. I’ll get the rotten tomatoes ready.
If Your Majesty will pardon me for going off topic:
Heroic French security officers prevent terrorist hijacking of an English tourist flight.
Tres studly.
Oui?
Dammit! What’s wrong with the blockquote function?
Maybe Kerry is actually a haughty, Dutch-looking Senator who, by the way, served in Vietnam? After all the Dutch were against the wall before they were for it.
Well, the Israelis should pay fair compensation for any land they confiscate to build it, they’re right that far. No reason not to build it, though, just means it’ll cost whatever it costs, and I doubt it adds that much to the tab anyway. After all, we’re not exactly talking about paying fair market value for vacation homes on Long Island here.
Highlight first, Leslie, then hit the button.
DAT, I believe Israel owns the land through right of conquest, as the wall follows close to the border of the land Israel took after being attacked in ’67. Not to mention the blood they’ve paid over the decades …
Did anyone catch this point in their statement?
Palestinian Land? WTF? The Land belongs to Israel not those camel fucking squatters. Plus I don’t remember Pale-Fucking-stine being a country, thus them owning any land in Israel. The World Court needs to recieve a Drano High Colonic to flush the Shit out between their ears. Fuck them, Fuck the UN, Fuck Arafat and his Camel Fucking Terrorist People and Fuck anyone that thinks that can tell Israel what to do!!!
Mr Minority – On a Rampage Today
But I will be exhausted! Not to mention that it will take a triple-coat of Sears Best Weatherbeater Exterior to even begin to get enough latex on them to make them even relatively safe.
Sorry, Mr. Minority. I’ll simply have to pass on that one.
Wait a minute… Thinking… Would it be okay to use a Sharp Stick, Mr. Minority? If I could, it might be do-able.
Mama, A Sharp Stick is too kind, may I suggest a Dried Corn Cob with impregnated Glass Shards?
Mr Minority
Sharp sticks? Corn cobs? What century is it, anyway? I suggest we go about it the civilized way: chainsaws, power drills, high pressure hoses and blowtorches. Much more fun that way, don’t you think?
Natasha, you’re right! Technology is a wonderful thing! We should avail ourselves of its wonders!
Thanks you for helping me to See the Light!
(missed you last night during Drunken Webcam Chat)
OK ‘Tasha, how about the combo of the two, use a DeWalt 18V Cordless Drill with a Glass Impregnated Dried Corn Cob in the Chuck. We will need a bunch of spare batteries, because I foresee lots of hours of use.
Mr Minority – Lover of Power Tools
I hope they finish the fence and tell the World Court to stuff it.
And as far a fences go I think we should build one across the entire Southern Border.
And no we should not place water in the desseret for the Aliens to drnk.It just encourages illeagal acts.
People Smuggling is harmful to the comman good period.And I dont think they should be given drivers liscenses either .
And I know the trolls are going to bite on my comments .In advance “tell it to some one who gives a shit” I dont hate the illeagals who comer here, but they should do it legally just like my family and many others .
We have no security on our Southern Border and thats assinine.
If all the happy campisienios can walk in thru the Sonaran Dessert, so can a bunch of Jihadi Jackals.
I mean a lot of the pricks come from the dessert so its not a strech that mixed in with all the other emigreess there will be a percentage who mean to do us harm.
And when they finish they can start at the Northern border as well.
Defensible borders are must in this day and age.
Why does this:
“Israel is under an obligation to cease forthwith the works of construction of the wall being built in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, to dismantle forthwith the structure therein situated,” the court said.
remind me of this(from Ghostbusters):
Dr. Raymond Stantz: Gozer the Gozerian… good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [Sarcastically] That oughta do it. Thanks very much, Ray. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/quotes)
Ed, “Right of conquest” applies to public lands and property, not private property. Private property rights normally survive the transition unless it’s Communists or Socialists that’re doing the conquering. Socialist thinking is still Socialist thinking even if the bad consequences of it fall on people you don’t like.
“and no, we should not place water in the desert for the aliens to drink…”
You’re right as usual, LC NeilV. A fence should be built across the entire southern border. They should electrify the damn fence too!
Where can I send money to Israel for the wall? I want to buy a brick. Or a cubic foot. Or a cubic yard, or however much I can afford.
Seems I saw a list on the net somewhere of all the other security fences of this kind in the world. China had a couple, Russia of course, but a bunch of other countries had them too.
Not a peep from the UN about those, of course.
DAT, I agree with your point. I really should have found out if the displaced actually owned the land or not. They claim to be “displaced refugees”, but I have a hard time reconciling that position with one postulating that they owned the land prior to their “displacement”. In other words, how are they refugees if they still live where they did before the ’67 war “displaced” them? How are they “Palestinians”, as that land was previously Egypt, Syria or Jordan?
Anybody know the answers to this?
Special Ed
What an excellent idea. Is there such an organization? Since there’s no BlogDrive this year like the big one last year, this could be fun.
Dammit Chuck. That should have included a put-down-the-pepsi alert. I spewed soda all over the damn place.
Great one.
Information about Israel’s Security Fence
They should put the worlds biggest sign on the fence saying “fuck the united nations”, put it in guiness book of world records.
For that matter, can we build a fence here in the united states and write that on there? NOW THATS AMERICAN GRAFFITI.
Good link Steve, I went there expecting to see a something totally different. I apologize for reflexively assuming you were an idiotarian. I saw “Peace” and “.org” in the link and assumed it was a hate-Israel cite.
That’s actually a very good link. Lots of good stuff that could be mined for blog-fodder. If I had a blog that is.
Thanks, Dave, that cleared a lot of questions up. I shouldn’t be so lazy that you had to do my research for me.
Again, thanks for taking up my slack.
So what’s next from the World Court? They declare the Great Wall of China oppressive to Mongolian hordes? How about indicting Rome for building Hadrian’s Wall to oppress the poor Scots? Maybe they’ll order us to fill in the Rio Grande as an unfair trade and immigration barrier?
sheesh. okay so let’s get this straight–any violence on the part of Israel to protect her own people is met with a barrage of criticism. so, okay, move on to a peaceful solution: a wall. it isn’t shooting people or anything, it’s just sitting there. but that isn’t right either. as soon as the UN homeplanet decides to beam down an acceptable solution, i would be interested to hear it.
but i do appreciate this, as it gives me a destination for the walk i’m about to take.
beca
(off to give the UN the finger)
mallorn: actually, i’m thinking of taking the issue to my landlord, that the walls keeping me from moving my crap into the neighbor’s apartment is actually a type of repression. or opression. or, um, something.
man, if this works, i’m gonna live like a queen!

It’s always puzzled me why the Hague is the seat of the ICJ. Two words…Belgian Congo.
Umm… Albedo, the Hague (Den Haag) is in Holland, not Belgium. Though I understand their track record in Indonesia wasn’t all that much better than Belgium’s in the Congo.
Since Arabs (or others) who are dissatisfied with the course of the fence or the compensation for land affected by it can appeal to the Israel Supreme Court, by what right is the ICJ even involved? Just the other day the ISC ordered the Israel government to shift the route of the fence and compensate affected landowners.
Considering how many tyrannies are mightily influential at the UN one of the things that must annoy them about Israel is that it is a free country. That’s one of the reasons they hate Israel so much. Another, of course, is that the country is full of uppity Jews. Damn, they just don’t know their place, what?
I’ll start taking claims for “compensation for lands lost to the wall” seriously the moment Yasser and his paleswinian maggot followers have paid compensation in full for the death of every single deliberately targeted and murdered Israeli civilian.
Until then, they can go kiss my Imperial ass.
Thanks, Emperor — ever since the “ruling” came down from Mt. Babble, I’ve been patiently awaiting your calm analysis of the situation and the troublesome and contentious issues it raises.
Ha! Eat shit and die, World Opinion™!!!
I wonder how the State of Israel is financing The Wall? If they are issuing bonds, I guess that they would be excluded from this group of Mutual Funds.
According to an HonestReporting article in my Inbox, both Kerry and Hilary Clinton were against the ICJ decision, saying that it was Israel’s right to have a nonviolent solution to the problem of suicide bombers. I just want to know whether I went to sleep on July 10th and woke up on April 1st, or what.
Well, it looks like I have egg on my face. Thanks for the correction Walt.
I thought this part of the ruling was interesting:
“Israel is accordingly under an obligation to return the land, orchards, olive groves and other immovable property seized from any natural or legal person for purposes of construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In the event that such restitution should prove to be materially impossible, Israel has an obligation to compensate the persons in question for the damage suffered.”
thanks to Nathan Newman.
Hey!!! That’s gratuitous.
damnit.
I need to move.
Exactly so. And I’m confident that Israel will do exactly that, because Israel is a country governed by laws and morality.
