Bomber Ali Jaara and 10 innocent people were killed including former Brooklyn resident Yechezkel Goldberg, a 41-year-old father of seven who worked in Jerusalem with at-risk teens.
Now his widow, Karen Goldberg and children filed a lawsuit in Brooklyn Federal Court, accusing the investment banking giant UBS of providing financial services to a group that funds Hamas, the terror group that claimed responsibility for the attack.
"Terrorism is a business," Goldberg said. "It takes money to plan attacks, it takes money to carry out attacks."
A UBS spokesperson said the lawsuit is "without merit."
even if she should win whichi hope she does but history shows is slim, trying to collect is a diffrent story!
If more people or countries would sue the banks or anyone or anything associated with these r’shoyim, all involved (no matter how small they claim) will be forced to watch out.
I hope she gets a good relentless lawyer to really sink his/her teeth into this!
The USB had no part in it?? You mean they couln’t freeze the accounts of terrorists?!?
Good luck Mrs. G. – You deserve to win this – Chezi was a one-of-a-kinder, irreplacable.
Many ehrliche Torah Jews work there and have nothing to do with the terrorists. Unfortunately the reshoim did their dastardly deed,but the USB people had no part in it.
who is the attorney on this case
I doubt this will fly in court.
YOUR DOUBT IS AS GOOD AS ANYBODYS GUESS
I doubt this will fly in court.
I wish the mishpochoh much hatzlocha. I remember Chezi ZT”L HY”D from Toronto. A tzadik with a very special neshama – he saved countless yiddishe neshamos.
And what would you expect a spokeman for USB bank to say? Yes, you are right we are guilty since we sponsor and support terrorism. My friends the Sapersteins fought this battle, as did Mr. Flatow and success is hoped for by the Goldbergs.
