On February 23, 2015, a jury in a U.S. District Court in Manhattan, New York, found in Sokolow v. Palestine Liberation Organization the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority liable for supporting six terrorist attacks that wounded or killed several Americans, among other victims, in Israel in the early 2000s. The jury awarded victims US$215 million in damages, and the amount is expected to be tripled as the Anti-Terrorism Act, under which the suit commenced, allows a successful plaintiff to recover “threefold the damages he or she sustains and the cost of the suit, including attorney’s fees.” One report describes the case, which began in 2004, as “one of the most notable attempts by American victims of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to use U.S. courts to seek damages” and a “setback” for Palestinians seeking “to rally international support for their independence and to push for war crime charges against Israel.” The Anti-Terrorism Act allows American “victims of U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations to seek compensation for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and other hardship.”
