ABOUT TIME: Charles Johnson has
ABOUT TIME: Charles Johnson has the scoop: the European Union has stopped funding the Palestinian Authority in response to the lawsuit of a terrorism victim. Who said lawsuits have no beneficial consequences?
UPDATES: This Ha'aretz piece (via Tal G.) has more details; it does not mention the lawsuit, attributing the decision to Israel's persuasive skills (or, more likely, evidence that became to much for even the EU to ignore). Also, this report idnicates that the suspension of funding is only anticipated to last until June 19. If that is correct (far from certain; the Ha'aretz piece does not say so and it may be more reliable than the Arutz Sheva report), it's too bad; being cut of from the EU's largesse could be the killing-blow to the PA.
