Palestine: European Union can't be judge and jury : Comments

By David Singer, published 25/7/2013

The decision by the European Union (EU) to boycott Jewish organisations and institutions based in the West Bank and East Jerusalem will bring much joy to the Arab world.

"It is equally clear that you have so far failed to produce any binding court judgement declaring the settlements illegal in international law as claimed by you," says the Singer waving his white-wash brush.

Singer is devoid of morality and conscience. He sings the praises of the Israeli dictatorship from morning to night never caring that he is out of step with most of the civilized world.

I believe that most lawyers, because of their mind-numbing, nit-picking training, have a few screws missing.

Imagine being married to one? If there was an argument over who should wash up, out would come volumes of legal books and precedents and a wig.

It is unfair to attack all lawyers because David Singer is one of them. Some lawyers have chosen the law to serve justice. Some lawyers do much pro bono work serving those clients who need legal representation but can't afford it. In a society under law which ours supposedly is, law is a means which should be available to anyone to seek justice. Some lawyers do what they can to make sure that all have access to law.

Unfortunately some lawyers will use any means to support a client even if those means allow the client to evade, deny or escape justice as long as those means are within the law. Apparently Singer is the last kind of lawyer, but it is most unfair to condemn the entire profession because of the behaviour of one or more of them.

P.S. I forgot to mention that few lawyers have a sense of humor!

Two lawyers who wrote very funny books are John Mortimer who wrote the Rumpole stories, and Henry Fielding who wrote “The History of Tom Jones”. I think the statement about lawyers lacking a sense of humour is not accurate.

It is unfair to criticise Jews or lawyers because of David Singer.

He is apparently more interested in winning arguments than in seeking justice, but I don’t think Singer is representative of either Jews or lawyers.

David Singer is a Zionist propagandist, winning arguments is not the purpose of propaganda.
