State Department To Overturn Judgements Against Palestinian Terrorists

From an email from One Jerusalem:

State Department Outrage

The United States State Department, under the direction of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, is seriously considering siding with Palestinian terrorists in a case that would overturn court judgments in favor of American families that have suffered deaths caused by Palestinian terrorists.

Yes, you read that right.

Secretary of State Rice is directly involved in this outrage. The Palestinian Authority, represented by its President and Prime Minister, asked Secretary Rice to help them escape United States court decisions that instructed them to pay monetary damages to the families of the victims of terrorism.

Secretary Rice's first intervention in this matter gave life to the campaign to escape justice by the Palestinian Authority.

Leslye Knox the mother of six children who became a widow in 2002 when her husband was murdered by Palestinian terrorists while singing at a Bar Mitzvah in Hadera, Israel, is flabbergasted by the State Department intervention: She said, "Now here are the wrongdoers, they come to the government and say, 'Hey, help us.' Its hard to see why the government listens to them. It makes me feel like, 'Who is on my side?'

"One expert lawyer commenting on this case said,

"If the State Department tips the scales of justice against the victims in order to support adjudicated terrorists, the war on terrorism will be seen throughout the world as a farce."

We could not say it better ourselves.
