The Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority were the catalysts for a series of terrorist attacks in the early 2000s in Israel that killed or wounded several Americans, a U.S. jury found Monday at a high-stakes civil trial.
In finding the Palestinian authorities liable in the attacks, jurors awarded the victims $218.5 million in damages for the bloodshed. The U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act could allow for that to be tripled.
The case in Manhattan and another in Brooklyn have been viewed as the most notable attempts by American victims of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to use U.S. courts to seek damages that could reach into the billions of dollars.

Good. Now put both of them on the list of terror organizations and cut off the US aid down to the last nickle.

Can the families attach and intercept US foreign aid grants directed at Palestine?
That would be hilariously perverse.
Exactly !!
No problem obamma mamba jamma lenin khomeini will pay it using our tax dollars..
They’ll now have to get the bank account numbers from Obama.
Cut off Obama from sendjng any more of our money to any of his terrorist murderers and thugs including the plo/pa and all the rest of his islamoNazi pals Mr Boehner, Congress has the power of the purse - please use it!? Now. You have all the political cover imaginable now. Please please stop using our money to fund murdering terrorists like pa/plo-Hamas. Please!!!?
Good to see s judge make such a decision, but I don’t see how the victims can collect, unless Obama puts some pressure on the Palestinians. Which he certainly won’t do.
Tomorrow’s headline... “Barak Obama [pbuh] has pledged an additional 218.5 million USD in aid to the Palestinian Authority”
It’s our money anyway.
If you rinse and repeat often enough, they would soon have their choice of either moving somewhere else or living in houseboats in the Mediterranean.
You forgot “Hussein”...

they will never pay up
(it’ll be US taxpayers who pay it)
The only trouble with that judgement and award ... is that both Israel and the USA contributes aid to the Palestinian Authority. SO ... in essence ... Israel and the USA will end up paying this!
That’s exactly where it will come from ... the USA and Israel!
Not even our courts think they have jurisdiction to seize real estate over there.
They have bank accounts here. If you were a PLO-nik, would you trust the PLO bank?
Actually, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come over to Congress, before, and asked them to NOT CUT OFF FUNDS to the P.A. ... because if Congress did that, the IDF would be put into a dangerous situation ... having to take over the civil and police functions from the P.A.
You see ... Israel wants the P.A. to be doing that, so that Israel doesn’t have to needlessly put the IDF in harm’s way!

Sadly, the families will never collect. The State Dept (and Obama) will see to that.
