Nothing is done to challenge the situation and moreover, a certain level of credibility and stature is afforded to this very same Supreme Court in other matters such as the determination of the legality of the route of the Wall, Torture, Targeted Killings, House Demolitions, and much much more. The real question is whether the fact that there is nothing novel about this type of judicial practice makes the practice acceptable? And, I strongly believe that a vast majority would durably argue that it clearly does not. This is also why it is important that those who are keeping a close eye on the region at these very moments are aware of the greater context of both the prolongation and legitimation of the occupation of the Palestinian territories and, more imminently, the means available (or lack thereof) for victims to obtain justice on the national/regional level.
