Night after night, Israeli forces storm homes, dragging people from their beds.
By day, Palestinians are humiliated, detained, and left to cook for hours under the scorching sun.
This isn’t “security.”
It’s a deliberate regime of fear and degradation.
I see your confusion, for that I'll indulge you a moment longer.
You think this goes to a court inside the occupying power's jurisdiction, which itself defers by UK statute to the UK Supreme Court. That misunderstands the issue, and it's gravity.
A body can't lawfully judge the validity of its own creation. Courts that derive their existence from the state created by the 1707 Union can't by definition sit in judgment on the Union's legality. That's why the forum is international law, where questions of state formation and sovereignty are justiciable.
Domestic courts adjudicate within a system; international law adjudicates the system itself.
Did you miss the post earlier where I said:
"That matters, because it's justiciable in international law. It alters both Scotland's and the UK's status: the UK cannot lawfully block an act of self-determination by the Scottish people, and domestically it reframes the entire debate. Scotland isn’t seeking independence - it's seeking the lawful restoration of sovereign rights that were never extinguished."
You really need to pay more attention, ignoring all evidence, and logic, is one thing, ignoring what you're being told is happening is another.
I'm betting a billion pounds on "Huff and moan a bit about an 'anti-democratic outrage', then shut up and sit down and cash his paycheques for five years".

BREAKING:
Israel has killed 92 Palestinians in Gaza since dawn today.
92 starving civilians slaughtered in less than 24 hours.
56 of them were executed while trying to get food.
These massacres are literally happening every single day.
Call it what it is: HOLOCAUST.
Amir walked 12 kilometres, barefoot, to get food.
He kissed the hand of an American soldier, thanking him for a bag of rice and lentils.
Then Israel killed Amir, right in front of the soldier.
A child, grateful for lentils. Executed in broad daylight.
Amir was 5 years old.
An Israeli sniper shot a Palestinian child in the back for no reason, in the West Bank
The child is reportedly in hospital in critical condition.
No words of condemnation from cowardly Western politicians & deafening silence from the world’s media
The conspiracy among senior SNP figures to put Alex in prison for crimes he didn't commit left him drained of funds by his defence costs. You knew that, and tried to force the abandonment of the case by bullying him with the government's financial power. Hide your face, traitor.
Your last act was to try to cheat him out of justice for the grotesque wrong you and your party did to him, and of which you were at the heart, you treacherous snake.
It has been the honour of my life to know and work with the best political operator and orator in Scotland bar none.
Devastated, heartbroken but forever grateful and inspired.
My thoughts and prayers with Moira and the family.
