Gisha attorneys say Gaza merchants enter Israel for work meetings. Why them and not students? Does modest easing on commerce matter more than education? Do men get rights denied women?
Hass notes "the elephant in the room." Israel wants Hamas rule in Gaza. It facilitates West Bank separation. Oslo stipulated one Palestine, not two. Israel systematically violated all provisions agreed on.
Palestinians suffer grievously. Abbas compounds injustice as Israel's enforcer. He long ago betrayed his people for self-serving reasons.
On May 23, Israel's High Court heard arguments for and against the five Gazan women. Though absent, their presence was felt. Attorneys argued on their behalf.
Israel denied them entry for their Supreme Court hearing.
At issue is who'll prevail - students petitioning for justice or the "indefensible" claim of a fundamentally corrupt racist state.
Also at issue is does it matter. Extremist governments like Netanyahu's ignore rulings they reject.
Expect nothing different this time. Expect another "Brand Israel" black eye.
