US Court Finds Palestinian Authority And PLO Liable For Terrorist Attacks

There's a price to pay for supporting terrorism:


Quote:








The Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization were found liable on Monday by a jury in Manhattan for their role in knowingly supporting six terrorist attacks in Israel between 2002 and 2004 in which Americans were killed and injured.



The damages are to be $655.5 million, under a special terrorism law that provides for tripling the $218.5 million awarded by the jury in Federal District Court.



...The defense had argued that their clients had nothing to do with the attacks. Mark J. Rochon, a defense lawyer, told the jury on Thursday that he did not want “the bad guys, the killers, the people who did this to get away while the Palestinian Authority or the P.L.O. pay for something they did not do.”



Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the P.L.O.’s executive committee who testified for the defense, told the jury, “We tried to prevent violence from all sides.”



But citing testimony, payroll records and other documents, the plaintiffs showed that many of those involved in the planning and carrying out of the attacks had been employees of the Palestinian Authority, and that the authority had paid salaries to terrorists imprisoned in Israel and had made martyr payments to the families of suicide bombers.



It's hardly been a secret that the PA and PLO have supported terrorists all these years, and they were caught red-handed in this attack.



Maybe enough of this and the Palestinians will act like the civilized country they claim to be and demand to be recognized as. But I doubt they'll ever get the hint, they are so deep in hatred and ignorance they may never climb out.
