wasnt there some group of people that wanted to sue over 9/11 but the us gov't wouldnt let them because it would open the us up to being sued by all the people they bomb all over the place? This feels like the same sort of situation.

The US government was at best, protecting the Saudis, and at worst, actively blocking the lawsuit from going forward

I wonder if that opens up the floor to anyone killed by weapons that were sold by American companies.
Weapons that Hamas used in its surprise attack on Israel were provided by North Korea “knowingly and intentionally,”
Wow it looks like the DPRK is doing more to help Palestine than most states out there.
