Most of the time we don't notice the difference, since the government usually acts <I>as if</I> Israeli civil law applied in the Territories; but we need to remember that we've chosen to live somewhere where we don't have the full protection of "normal" law.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this doesn't mean that the government is ethically correct in how it exercises its legal rights in the Territories; I don't know the details of the cases you bring up, so I'm not prepared to comment on them. But the general point remains: the government is perfectly within its legal rights to act in the Territories that it wouldn't be allowed to act inside the Green Line.Don Radlauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913661475277505087noreply@blogger.com
