Palestinian Authority fined $218m by U.S Court for attacks in Israel over 10 years ago

So

Palestinians are at fault for Israel shrinking their territory and disappearing them off the map

And USA approves

USA USA how many people have you killed today

I guess now...the Saudi is in for a sh** storm...after 9/11.

But I guess..they won't touch that one....due to...not having jurisdiction over them. Strangely...that does not work for the Palestinians.

Sometimes...it all seems like a mad dream you wake up from and thank god...it was only a dream.

The PLO issued the following statement following the U.S. Federal Court ruling:

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) are deeply disappointed by the adverse decision issued today in a New York court. The charges that were made against us are baseless.

Furthermore, the New York Court ignored the legal precedent set time and again by other U.S. courts-including a ruling last week by a Federal Judge in Washington DC-that established that U.S. localities are not the proper jurisdiction for such a hearing. We will appeal this decision.

We are confident that we will prevail, as we have faith in the U.S. legal system and are certain about our common sense belief and our strong legal standing.

This case is just the latest attempt by hardline anti-peace factions in Israel to use and abuse the U.S. legal system to advance their narrow political and ideological agenda: to block the two state solution, advance the illegal settlements in our land, continue to attack and divert the PLO and PNA's limited resources from needed services and programs for our people, and to distract the public from the everyday inequities and injustices Palestinians face, and which we try to address through a proper legal framework.
