Tel-Chai Nation

Here's another disgraceful example of the Israeli supreme court letting itself be used as a tool against "settlers", or at least coming close:

The High Court of Justice concluded a hearing on a petition filed by Migron residents asking for a delay in their eviction from the settlement outpost on Tuesday. The court was expected to announce its decision in the coming days.

Migron outpost residents on Monday afternoon petitioned the High Court of Justice to delay the evacuation of the 50 families that live there until such time as their new homes are ready.

It's worth noting that:

On Monday, Migron residents and settler leaders focused on preparing for Tuesday’s court hearing regarding the fate of the 17 Migron families who claim to have purchased the property on which their homes are located from the Palestinian land owners. They have asked to remain in their homes until the court can validate their claim.

If they did buy the land and with their very own money, then it's atrocious that even the paper itself is willing to imply that they didn't. So in the end, do the families have the right to buy the plot of land or don't they?

Update: Michael Freund makes an excellent point about how this is trampling on private property rights, and what happens in Migron could happen in Jerusalem, Ber Sheva and Tel Aviv tomorrow.
