Hidden in the headlines

Since my post about the commentator was popular, I'll just add that since the Arab teams got knocked out, he's calmed down a bit, although he obviously likes Brazil too.

In other Palestinian news, hidden amongst all the nonsense about the Israeli soldier hostage,

The High Court of Justice ruled Monday that the government and Israel Defense Forces must act to ensure the safety of Palestinian farmers working their fields and to prevent settlers from harming their land, property or persons.

The High Court ruled on a petition submitted by the residents of five Palestinians villages protesting an IDF decision to keep them from reaching their fields in an effort to protect them from settler attacks.

These are the same villages in the South Hebron district that I've mentioned before. As the judge said:

A policy that prevents Palestinian residents from reaching lands belonging to them, in the name of their own defense, is like a policy forbidding someone from entering his home in order to protect him from a thief.

No sh*t Sherlock!

Only here. Really. Only here.
