'Collective punishment': US Supreme Court greenlights $656m judgement against Palestinian officials

The US Supreme Court refused to freeze a $656m judgment against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) for compensating American victims of attacks during the Second Intifada. The PA and PLO claim the payout would destabilize their governance in the occupied West Bank, calling it collective punishment against ordinary Palestinians.
