#1 From Haaretz:

In building the fence, the court rules, Israel violated international humanitarian law, by infringing on Palestinians' freedom of movement, freedom to seek employment, education and health.

If Haaretz's paraphrase of the decision is accurate, then this is Tranzi-ism carried to its extreme. Your neighboring country is at war with you, opinion poll after opinion poll show that the enemy population wants to see you destroyed or ethnically cleansed, but you still have an obligation to give them freakin jobs. Every time the Israelis close the border check points we hear the same thing. If Palestinians can't get to their jobs inside Israel, then they're being discriminated against. So forgive me, my European colleagues if I get a little worked up about the direction of EU politics and political thinking. It is precisely this sort of upside down logic (I have to give a man a job and bread even though he hates me and wants to kill me) that will destroy Western Civilization, not levelling some hellhole like Fallujah or Jenin.

#3 I hope Sharon tells them what they can do with their 'ruling.' I know what Bush would do if we were faced with the same circumstances. Build the wall! Screw the world court .
