favor of the victims does this mean mr abbas Does'nt get hit Benz and Expensive vacations next year?
2. Excellent move!
sk ,   USA   (04.01.11)
The KKK was bankrupted and pretty much put out of business by lawsuits (both by US Govt., and private parties). This is one way to fight Islamic terrorism—sue terrorist groups, pro-Islamic NGOs and mosques all over the world, including CAIR here in the US if they have any connections to terrorism. And most of them do!
3. This is not good for Israel
Ali ,   Scotland   (04.01.11)
This kind of stuff works two ways ! Palestinians could use this against Israel! there are plenty of Palestinian refugees in the US

Big difference: Israel reacts in self defense ALWAYS after instigation or onset of new round of violence by Pali Arabs.
5. Wrong #3, no Israel exposure to "Palestinian refugee" suits
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (04.01.11)
Its called statute of limitations. And then there is the entire issue of whether the so-called "refugees" were responsible in whole or in part for their predicament by the Arab rejection of the Partition Plan, or participation in warefare or terrorism against Israel, which negates claims. Further, those "Palestinians" who entered the US with Jordanian or Egyptian passports are barred from suing Israel for anything, because all claims were discharged by the peace treaties those countries signed with Israel (why Israelisn't suing Jordan for damages to Jerusalem during their 19 year illegal occupation. The PLO is exposed to liability because it foreswoer terrorism to gain US offices - and then resumed violence in "intifadas", in violation of that 1992 agreement. That's why the 2001-2004 damage suits against the PLO were allowed. This is not a new story, there is also more than $450 million in damages already pending against the PLO for previous terrorism lawsuits they already lost, which they are appealing. If appeals are rejected, the PLO offices and their awards of US aid will be confiscated to settle the claims. Bye bye PLO (since the PA is the PLO, and under US law is "the sole representative of the Palestinian people". THIS, not settlements or "failed peace process" is why PhD-in-Holocaust-Denial Abbas is so keen to bypass talks with Israel and insanely try to "get a state" from the UN (and while the Gazastan rocketocracy is still fighting Israel!!) - the PA is about to go out of business in a year or so under the crushing weight of billions in terrorism damage awards,and no, they are not eligibleto file for bankrupcy!

7. #3 Ali, THERE IS A PREREQUISITE
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.01.11)
The so-called Palestinian refugees in the USA have to have a case,first.Unlike the so-called legal cases that the so-called Palestinians try to hang on Israelis in Britain. By the way,aren't these so-called Palestinian refugees lucky that they can go to live in civilised western countries like the USA and Britain and lead free lives?So unlike the apartheid way that they are treated by Arab League countries. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Why don't you gather all your muslim chickens together and deport them to Scotland?
9. MOUTHWATERING FUTURE PROSPECTS
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.01.11)
If jurisdictional depends on local offices,the PA is in trouble. Any future violence from or instigated by the PA can activate law suits all over the place now that the PA has opened so-called embassies,missions and delegations in South American and other countries. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
10. #3 Ali, THERE IS A PREREQUSITE
macktheknife   (04.01.11)
Amen Ian, Newcastle upon Tyne. Help send the little tyke Ali - running!
11. Ali Scotland 3
JUDAH THE LION   (04.01.11)
No such place or country called Palestine
12. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.01.11)
The United States has never recognized the ersatz "Palestinians" as "refugees." The U.S. views them as "displaced persons" because they left their homes voluntarily. Not a single ersatz "Palestinian" who has entered the United States legally has been accorded refugee status. Why don't you check your facts before spouting nonsense?
13. to Ali,Scotland 3
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (04.02.11)
There are no "Palestinian" refugees-you are dumb for an Arab.
