Supreme Court bars fence construction near Hebron

This is what happpens in a democracy, ruled by laws, enforced by courts.

You are an Arab living your life in your village. And then them Jews start building a big ole fence. So what's an Arab to do?
You unite with your neighbours, get a lawyer and go sue. Is what you do.

And you win.
Supreme Court Justice Miriam Naor on Thursday issued an interim injunction barring the army from implementing a military land seizure order for land belonging to residents of five Palestinian villages along the southern section of the security fence.
This is not the first time Arabs protested the fence in court and won. And forced the Army to reroute the Fence.

In Iran on the other hand, you get
stoned to death for a 'sharp tongue'. Well, I guess it's a system. Barbaric, but there you are.
