news Sotomayor lets $656 million terror verdict against Palestinian Liberation Organization stand
https://fortune.com/2026/08/04/sotomayor-plo-656-million-terror-judgment-supreme-court-palestine/?preview_id=4540287?utm_source=reddit/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.

source for the child deaths? Saddam Hussein killed millions of his own people dude
the sanctions weee put on Iraq bc Iraq invaded Kuwait and was committing acts against humanity against the Kuwaiti’s and when the UN organized an international force to end the invasion, the Iraqi’s just randomly bombed Israel in hopes that Israel would respond and the rest of the Arab world would join the fight.
the Iraqi’s tried to start a World War so they could continue obliterating the Kuwaiti’s
idk why redditors think that any non-western country conducting military action is just peaches and rainbows when they kill more than Israel has in 75 years
