Abstract

[This chapter provides readers with a postcolonial analysis of how the lawyers for the plaintiffs in the Linde et al. v. Arab Bank, PLC cases used these terrorist-financing cases as a rhetorical vehicle for commenting on the causes of Middle Eastern terrorism, the origins of the Second Intifada, and the perfidy of Hamas. For more than a decade Gary Osen and other attorneys for the plaintiffs used the rules of discovery, civil procedures, the rules of evidence, and expert witness testimony to put on display selective interpretations of dozens of “Palestinian” terrorist incidents in order to convince American jurists that the Arab Bank knew that it was helping bankroll terrorists.]
