Ari Fuld’s killer went free last month.
Ari was an American who moved to Israel in the 90s. Father of four children, he dedicated his life to the defense of the greatest ally in our country, providing service in the Israeli army and thus supporting him every way that he could retire. But in 2018, a Palestinian terrorist approached him in a shopping center and stabbed Ari in the back. While survived for a few minutes – long enough from Chase the terrorist And even shooting against him: Ari’s wounds were too serious. He had died on the day.
Ari’s killer was issued by the Israeli prison As part of the agreement of that country for the return of the hostages, Hamas took on October 7, 2023. Although he is deeply unfortunate, what is even more unfair is that the family of his killer was paid hundreds of dollars a month because he killed an innocent American. They are benefiting from an evil Palestinian program known as “Pay-For-Slay”.
The dear of Ari reacted. From the 90s, thanks to a Act of the congressThe American victims and their families have been able to intent legal actions against terrorists who have targeted them. The congress strengthened the law in the face of legal challenges, in particular through 2019 “Promote safety and justice for the victims of the terrorism act”.
The American families of the victims of terrorism can sue those terrorists. The Supreme Court is feeling if this is constitutional.

Now, on April 1, the The Supreme Court will listen to the topics on the fact that this law is constitutional. The case takes its name from Ari Fuld and his loved ones are asking the judges to take sides with them on the Palestinian terrorists. The judges should do it, supporting the ability of America to dissuade even more terrorists from killing our citizens.
Ari’s family is far from the only ones who met the injustice of the Palestinian salary for the murder. The only Palestinian authority spends almost $ 350 million a year for the families of terrorists who died killing innocent people, including Americans.
The program is so enormous, it also has a formal name in the Palestinian authority: the “bottom of the martyr”. While the PA recently said she finished the Pay-For-Slay, its leadership has From He clarified that he is not going anywhere. His very existence encourages more Palestinian to take a murderous road. They know that if they kill as many people as possible, including Americans, their families will be rewarded for the years to come.

American victims absolutely deserve the right to sue those who help and favor this evil clear. The constitutional case is clear, like Many legal groups they showed the court. The lower courts have agreed that the United States government has the legal authority to impose a criminal liability for foreign groups that murder the Americans, but has established that allowing civil cases to move forward would be “basically unfair”. It is not true. There is nothing unfair in requesting those who killed Americans to face civil sanctions for their wicked actions, just as they face the consequences in criminal cases.
And the moral case is even more obvious. No American should worry that if a terrorist kills his son or daughter, mother or father, the terrorist family will be rewarded richly. If this happens, the Americans should be able to sue anyone or anything is eliminating blood money. After all, if someone were to be compensated for the killing of an innocent, they should be the victims. Justice does not require anything less.
For the Supreme Court, this should be an easy decision. But the congress must also do the hard work to end the Palestinian Pay-For-Slay. The congress should immediately approve the “Plo and PA Terror Payments Accountability Act”, written by the Republican Senator of the Arkansas Tom Cotton and the Republican representative of New York Mike Lawler.

The bill would impose strong penalties to any person or organization involved in the payment of terrorists for killing innocent people. The Palestinian groups that reward the killers, together with their foreign supporters, would think twice if their finances were paralyzed. American leaders should do everything possible to make them responsible and put an end to the murder.
Ari Fuld’s killer could be free, but the search for his family for justice should be authorized to continue. Even more important, no American family should ever suffer as they did again.
