A U.S. district court rejected the Biden administration’s bid to dismiss a landmark lawsuit alleging it engaged in an "illegal and dangerous $1.5 billion terrorism subsidy program for the Palestinians."

The lawsuit, originally filed in December 2022 by American victims of Palestinian terror attacks and Rep. Ronny Jackson (R., Texas), alleges the Biden administration violated federal law when it restarted aid to the Palestinians, including for programs in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. This money, they argue, subsidized terrorism and contributed to the Palestinian government’s "pay to slay" program, which provides imprisoned terrorists and their families with monthly stipends.
The latest decision paves the way for the case to "move forward, tearing away the veil from the Biden Administration’s illegal and dangerous $1.5 billion terrorism subsidy program for the Palestinians," America First Legal, a watchdog group handling the lawsuit on behalf of terror victims, said in a summary of the case provided to the Washington Free Beacon
"This administration has been illegally funding terrorism by providing taxpayer dollars to Palestinian terrorists who want to bring harm to American and Israeli interests," said Rep. Jackson. "This critical decision will help to hold the Biden administration accountable and ensure that the national security of the United States and Israel is prioritized over the illegal funding of terrorism with American taxpayer dollars."
For your list, kind Sir!
President Retard began supporting terrorism as soon as he took office
It is so wonderful that (a few, anyway) courts are now willing to review and overturn Biden administration illegal conduct.
For a long time it appeared that nearly all of the courts were controlled or intimidated by the Puppetmeisters behind the DNC politial party machine
There is at least a little hope now, smiles smiles smiles
Were it not for the recent Supreme Court Decision, the President could be held criminally and more important civilly for actions like this. I'm not suggesting he should be, but the potential civil liability could be enormous. Similarly, how about his decision to return assets to Iran despite the fact that there are over $50 billion in judgements from US courts unpaid to victims of Iranian terror. Some judgements for individual deaths, many for larger attacks. Like the capture of our Embassy, the 82 attack on the Marine Barracks, the 83 bombing of our Beirut Embassy, Khobar Towers, truck bombings of our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the USS Cole, and even 9/11. And yes, prior Presidents ignored these judgements too.
Shouldn’t the democrats be gleeful that Biden has immunity on this personally? This could have been a criminal lawsuit.
They will be around noon, Jan 20, 2025
Biden’s legal team will quickly invoke the “absolute immunity for core Constitutional duties” the Court found for Trump yesterday. Since foreign affairs are a core duty of a president, none of the parties in this lawsuit any longer have standing.
More good news.
Thanks!
Does he have civil immunity or just criminal?
