An Israeli court ruled in favor of the Palestinian Authority paying retribution for the death of an American couple.  The couple were shot in 1996 by Hamas gunmen in Israel inside of their car.

Of course, the Palestinian Authority is arguing the ruling and provides the following reason to the court:

The Palestinian Authority’s pleading in the case was not made public, but an attorney for the plaintiffs summarized it for CNN. The attorney said the Palestinian Authority asked the court to throw out the case because an unfavorable judgment would make the organization liable for such large sums from this and other cases that it would go bankrupt.

Sooooo….  the PA is arguing that they shouldn’t have to pay retribution to this family because THEN they’d have to pay for ALL the families who’ve been subjected to their terrorist attacks.  That’s an air-tight argument if I ever heard one.
