Surprisingly, “Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor refused Monday to halt a $656 million judgment against Palestinian authorities.” Kudos to Sotomayor. The deadly jihad ideology of the PLO and PA is no different from that of the Muslim Brotherhood offshoot, Hamas. The PA’s longstanding and generous pay-for-slay program rewards the murder of Jews and so-called “martyrdom.”
Given what the PLO and PA are, it is obvious they’d try to escape the $656,000,000 judgment. They pay terrorists. They do not pay compensation to their infidel victims.
“Supreme Court won’t halt $656M judgment against the PLO and Palestinian Authority,” Associated Press, August 3, 2026:
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor refused Monday to halt a $656 million judgment against Palestinian authorities in a long-running lawsuit filed by Americans killed or wounded in attacks in Israel.
The order signed by Sotomayor comes after the high court ruled last year in favor of the victims and their families.
The Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority said in court documents that paying the hefty judgment now could destabilize government services in the West Bank. They asked the justices to pause payment as they appeal the reinstatement of the verdict.
The lawsuit was filed by victims of attacks in Jerusalem in the early 2000s that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more. Families brought their lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law aimed at opening U.S. courts to victims of international terror attacks.
A federal court in New York tossed the original verdict on appeal and continued to rule in favor of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority as Congress revised the law to allow suits to go forward. The Supreme Court revived two cases in 2025.

Islam and its Muslim Organizations are Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprises against the USA Constitution and against Non-Muslims with Muslim discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 49:15, etc.). Furthermore, Muslim Islamization includes Muslim Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Organizations using Governments, Bureaucracies, Mosques, Muslim Homes, Muslim Schools, Halal Organizations, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, Muslim Non-Profits, etc. to fund, to educate, and to support Islam Law and Muslim Propaganda against all Non-Muslims(Qur’an 1:5; 3:51,1 01, 118; 5:48; 8:60, 45:18; etc.). Genocidal Allah in Qur’an 8:39 commands, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Ultimately, Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 11:119; 32:13; 98:6, etc.).
More than one threat says
A 2004 article in Time claimed that in the mid-1990s, Yasser Arafat controlled a financial empire worth at least $3 billion. By the time of his death, he was down to his last $1 billion, according to Israeli intelligence estimates.
A Current Affairs website estimated the wealth of Mahmoud Abbas as $100 million.
Give the victims some of that money.
Keys says
Banks holding that money for terrorists are complicit in these atrocities.

Next, deal with Saudi Arabia in the same way regarding 9/11.

.
Today, the European Commission has approved a new bilateral allocation to Palestine worth €224.8 million. This new assistance package will support the Palestinian Authority and crucial projects in the occupied Palestinian territory. This package complements previous contributions, such as €92 million to support UNRWA, bringing the total EU assistance to the Palestinians in 2021 to €317 million. This does not include a further €25 million in humanitarian funding announced in May.

Over $158 million in aid has been contributed to Gaza through the Sahem platform, backed by the Saudi humanitarian organization KSrelief. This initiative stands as a crucial support system for those affected by the conflict in Gaza.

Attack Israel, face the response, and reap the “aid” money and positive propaganda incoming.
