The Obama administration is reportedly mulling an intervention next week in a civil lawsuit involving the Palestinian leadership and American victims of Palestinian terror.
Guess which party the administration is siding with?
The lawsuit was filed over a series of bombings and shootings in or around Jerusalem that killed dozens of U.S. citizens during the second Palestinian intifada a decade ago.
The case was delayed for years while Palestinian lawyers tried to challenge the American court’s jurisdiction, but last February the families won a $218.5 million judgment after a seven-week trial in a Manhattan federal court. The jury found that the PLO and Palestinian Authority were responsible for a string of attacks from 2001 to 2004 that killed 33 and injured hundreds.
Unfortunately for the cash-strapped Palestinians, a 1992 law requires damages in cases such as these to be tripled with interest on the award, pushing it to as much as $1.1 billion.
The judgment amounts to nearly a third of the Palestinian Authority’s annual operating budget.
Palestinian leadership say they are not responsible “for the actions of individuals” who killed or wounded Americans, and are appealing the decision.
The Obama administration has reportedly signaled that it will intervene on behalf of the Palestinians in this case over U.S. citizens.
Via Fox News:
Late last month, the Department of Justice, which had previously not been involved in the 11-year-old case, informed the court it was considering filing a “statement of interest” in the case by Aug. 10, but officials would not elaborate. A source said the Department of Justice was working with the State Department on the matter.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
No surprise.
That’s what you get when your president is an enemy foreign national.
just raise the Crescent flag over the WH, Obammy.. quit pretending..
the only way Christians or Jews can escape Obama’s attacks and (through his islamoNazi proxies) mass murders and attempted genocides
is for Christians and Jews to convert to Islam, shout Allah Akbar, and start throwing bombs at innocent bystanders
cool....you’re first.
Rev Wright used to preach a pro-Pali message.
If that happens, there should be impeachment proceeding starting the very next day. Siding with Iran, (twice) and siding with every one of America’s enemies is reason enough to impeach.
And if the media or anyone else bring up race, the response should be, “we are impeaching the white half.”
Although the full settlement should hold, it would be hard for us (good guys) to argue w/ a reasonable lowering of the settlement, unfortunately. I am amazed that any justice lives in USA anymore.
The Repugnants don't care about crimes against the country as long as they get to keep their jobs.
And conservatives, all, what, 60 or 70 of us? We have no one left to listen to us.

Ha! Just ask the few sane muslims out there, converting does not garrantee safety from islam, in fact quite the contrary.
Islam is like a spoiled kid. Converting is feeding pearls to the swine, and it tramples you.
It's such common knowledge that far to many have become numbed to the reality of Obama's treachery.
Imagine that..
You can always count of Obastard to side against with terrorist Muslims and against American citizens.
Betcha the US citizens were NOT of a certain race. Otherwise, Obama would be on this toot sweet.
No, coached by the communists in their colleges, Obola’s minions cheer such treason - while they scream at patriots and the religious Christians still left.
