1. an admission of guilt (which everyone knew already)
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.15.11)
killing unarmed civilians is "resistance"?? by this admission it seems not the case.
2. What about the hundreds of killed Palestinian civilians
Petteri ,   Finland   (02.15.11)
Palestinians should use the same strategy and use US courts. It would be interesting to see if the judge would order the freezing of Israeli assets. Justice means that all sides have justice, not only the Jewish side.
3. 2 - which palestinian civilians are you talking about?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.15.11)
are you talking about the "civilians" that are members of terrorist organizations and bear arms against israel or you talking about the civilians said terrorists hide behind in order to confront israel? please clarify.
4. #2 - Petteri
Michael Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (02.15.11)
The law can be envoked ONLY if the victim is a US citizen.The article mentions that. Did you read the article? If a Palestinian who is killed was a US citizen, his estate can file suit. Somehow, I think there would be more lawsuits against Hamas or the PA, since more Palestinians have died at the hands of other Palestinians than have died at the hand of anyone else since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip. BTW, how many Palestinians do you think hold US citizenship? And if they do, how are they still considered "refugees", who are, by definition, stateless?
5. #2are you talking about the Pallywood civilians ?
rachel ,   usa   (02.15.11)
6. Israel should sue for defamation of character by all the lie
rachel ,   usa   (02.15.11)
lies from the arab world !!!!
7. 4 Davison
Petteri ,   Finland   (02.15.11)
Davison ten of thousands Palestinians have US citizenship. Israel has killed tens of foreigners, tourists, peace activists and UN soldiers. Often in a situation that is a pure murder. Last several Turks. Lets hope that the Turk's, who had also US citizenship, estate file a suite against Israel in USA. This your "refugees" claim is laughable. What refugees are American Jews? Why do they have the right to come to live Israel even most of the Jews can show no proof of that their ancestors ever lived in ancient Israel. Palestinians can easily show that their parents or grandparents lived in what now is Israel. Judaism is a religion, not a race or nation. There are far to many converts in the past, who spoil that your "nation" claim. Should Scientology followers have their own state?
8. ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (03.02.11)
The PA can afford to settle. All it has to do is pay the US with aid money that it received from the EU.Never mind that the aid won't go to the purpose for which it was intended.That comes as standard. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
