How about the wedding party that suffered a catastrophe when the dance floor of the hall they were celebrating in collapsed due to construction deficiencies? Shouldn't they be allowed to sue the PA too? I'll bet Dershie could find a link if they hired him.

How much more money does Israel want to steal from the PA? Anyone would think it's loaded.

If only Palestinians could sue the Israeli government for the destruction of homes and livelihoods, land thefts, murder.....Gosh, Israel would end up losing billions....

"...Gosh, Israel would end up losing billions...."

....and the Palestinians would wind up owning Israel. This has possibilities.

Presumably Palestinians cannot counter sue Israel - because Israel *is* a recognised state. Good here innit?

I don't recall that even Apartheid South Africa courts encouraged the suing of the ANC.

Could we encourage the suits to be directed to Suha Arafat? It would at least maybe help to clear up the issue of where the PA's funds went.

I wonder if the ultimate aim is to make it impossible for money to be given to any Palestinian agency - this might create a situation where Palestinians would be faced with the choice of fleeing or starving to death.

the shurat hadin is the outfit heading this. They aim to tie up funds that would otherwise find their way to terrorist groups in the Palestinian territories.

Given that all Palestinians are terrorist by definition, linquist's point amounts to the same thing as that of previous commentators. If Palestinians want to live they have to piss off. It's the same bullshit reasoning that has turned Gaza into a genocide chamber.

"They aim to tie up funds that would otherwise find their way to terrorist groups in the Palestinian territories." Then shouldn't they be suing the settler movement?
