Optimistic on ICJ Ruling and Consequences (none / 0)

One case in this article ...

Security Industry: links between Israel and the Netherlands | Buford Jansen & Janssen - July 2011 |
In October 2010, the public prosecutor ordered a search of the offices of the Riwal Holding Group in Dordrecht. The Dutch police's National Crime Squad confiscated computers and documents relating to the leasing of cranes owned by the company's Israeli branch for the construction of the Separation Wall and of settlements in the Occupied Territories.
The case has a long history, which is summarised briefly here. As a result of a 2004 ruling of the International Court in The Hague (decision 14-1) that the Separation Wall (fence or barrier) constituted a violation of international law, UN members were called on to prevent their citizens' cooperation in its construction.
After a Dutch Netwerk television crew filmed cranes which bore the Riwal Company logo in 2006, Dutch Labour Party MPs addressed parliamentary questions to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Dutch Government warned the Riwal Company not to engage in activities in the Occupied Territories in 2008. The company, however, continued their activities.
In October 2009, a member of 'Coalition of Women for Peace' spotted cranes of Riwal Israel (i.e. Lima) at yet another location: in construction works on a new industrial park in the settlement Ariel in the West Bank. The numerous pictures in a report in the Groene Amsterdammer provide proof, while Tal Pery, director of Riwal Israel, again denied responsibility.
Palestinian human rights organisation Al Haq (ban imposed by caretaker cabinet Rutte III) of Ramallah engaged the Dutch law firm Böhler, and in February 2010 lawyer Liesbeth Zegveld lodged a complaint to the legal authorities which resulted in the raid on the Riwal Dordrecht offices.
Police findings have been passed on to the Dutch State Prosecution, which should decide (negative in 2023) whether or not to prosecute the corporate executives - including the Israeli businessman Doron Livnat - on charges of violating international law. Doron Livnat is an active proponent of the Israeli cause.

BDS Victorious as Ahava to Leave Occupied Territory, Move Plant Within Green Line | Tikun Olam - 9 March 2016 |
The current Israeli owners would far prefer to cash out on their investment than to uphold the principle that Jews have the right to every inch of the Land of Israel. Money vanquished "principle." In this case, money was right, principle wrong.
Keep in mind that the $75-million purchase price will be divided amongst the current Israeli owners who are kibbutzim (Kalia, Dead Sea, and Mitzpeh Shalem) sited on Occupied Palestinian land, and the Livnat family.
This family is one of the infamous eighteen oligarchal families in Israel who control an enormous amount of the nation's capital. So the sale itself will benefit those who have profited from the theft of Palestinian land and resources.

However sanctions on abuse of human rights is only applicable for candidate from the Jungle ... outside the EU Garden of civilized human beings. G-d created Adam and Eve and a sneaky snake ... after the temptation, humans left paradise for the animals, now coined as the Jungle and humans had to shed blood, sweat and tears to toil the land and build a civilization 🌎 ... through agriculture and we call it our Garden. The circle ⭕️ is complete ... sort of 🤣 .
