Jurisprudence

This is a memo to the next Australian entrant into the Miss World competition – a clever new plan for world peace. She will be guaranteed to win the competition and maybe get a Nobel Peace Prize to boot.

A US jury has awarded almost $1b in damages to the relatives of some Americans that were killed in Israel by Palestinian terrorists/freedom fighters.

The award is not against the terrorists/freedom fighters directly, but against the Palestinian Authority, accused of aiding and abetting the former.

Debt recovery will be through the pursuit of bank accounts and assets of the Palestinian Authority by US authorities.

You’d have to expect the  Palestinians Americans to lodge counter claims against Israel or the US on behalf of dead relatives. Then maybe the Iraqis and Afghanis will catch on.

And then, just maybe, they will all be too busy at court and be as poor as church mice. They will not have the time nor the resources to kill each other.
