It's the West Bank's largest. It's built on stolen Palestinian land. Settlers were ordered out by end of April.

Earlier the High Court ordered evacuation by end of 2012. On December 30, a four month extension was granted.

A three-judge panel rejected Israel's request. It wanted the petition applying only to buildings. It wants stolen land kept. It wants rightful owners denied. 

Justices ruled properly. Most often they don't. Hopefully it'll become habitual. Their job is upholding rule of law principles. It's treating everyone equitably. Doing so soon won't happen. Perhaps one day. Not now.

Last year, Turkey indicted four former Israeli commanders. In November they went on trial in absentia. They didn't dare show up. Orders were arrest them on sight.

They're accused of ordering the May 31, 2010 Mavi Marmara massacre. Israeli commandos attacked the vessel preemptively. They did so in international waters.

Nine Turkish nationals were assassinated. Dozens more were injured. Everyone on board was terrorized. Israel planned it that way.

Turkey's trial is largely symbolic. Proceedings began last November. Charges include multiple high crimes. Murder's bad enough.
