 Not content with taking away their land and human rights, Israel now wants to take away their money. "Perhaps the most effective tool against the PLO" Not content with taking away their land and human rights, Israel now wants to take away their money. The obvious agenda here is to take their belongings away before having them locked away for good in giant concentration camps in the West Bank and Gaza, they will effectively have no representation and have been silenced completely. Sound familiar? http://israelbehindthenews.com/Archives/Feb-25-03.htm Organizations that have consistently opposed the Oslo process have always favored and endorsed litigation against the PLO and the PA. Indeed, the fact that the Bnai Brith issued a working paper on the assets of the PLO transformed the PLO into an easy target for litigants around the world, especially since the PLO holds billions of dollars of investments abroad that make easy targets for litigation. In a decision that will help determine how feasible it is for Americans to sue foreign terrorists, a Rhode Island federal judge has ruled that the family of a young couple gunned down by Palestinian terrorists in Israel can seek $250 million in damages from the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority. How much of a hearing would the father of the 12 year-old Palestinian boy Mohammed Al-Doura, or the family of the amulanceman Bassam Balbeisi who went to his aid killed in cold blood on live TV by IOF assassins get if he tried to bring a similar action? http://www.hoffman-info.com/palestine39.html

Jump To Comment: 2 1this is a radio report from npr in washington. in the first story, about the decision of the us/k not to go for a vote at the un, it reports that all non essential un people will leave israel, kuwait and syria. it doesnt clarify whether 'israel' includes the west bank and gaza.
That same day, however, Ha'aretz reported a new campaign, launched by the Israeli security echelons, to confiscate funds that are transmitted to the Palestinians through Israeli banks - "tens of millions of dollars a year…mainly from charity organizations in the Arab countries and in Europe". (Amos Har'el, Hebrew edition only). While UNRWA is on the verge of collapse, the Palestinians should be deprived also of the charity funds that help them survive.
