ISRAEL:THE WALL! NO MORE BARBECUE SMOKE!!

ChristopherJones writes: "Thank God for lone Judge Buergenthal. His lone voice on the ICJ in favor of building walls on other people's property means that I will finally be able to put an end to summer after summer of intolerable barbecue odours and smoke emanating from my neighbor's garden. It is my right, (particularly as a born American, that land of the free and home of the brave) to protect my family against health hazards even if that means invading my neighbor's property. This is exactly what I will do: I shall muster a party of faithful workmen and climb over the garden wall. Once we have secured the site we will construct a "protective barrier" to deflect that barbecue smoke back into his garden. Smoke inhalation is dangerous and the cause of cancer -- it is legitimate self-defence for my family. I shall arm my workers and myself with pepper spray against counter-attack. Should the Gendarmerie arrive on the scene I will refer them to Judge Buergenthal's eminent decision and if legal help is needed, I shall ask Bert Westbrook to represent this case. If he refuses, I could ask Hillary Rodham Clinton to take the case".
