A group of Israeli and American citizens who were affected by the 7/10 events have filed a lawsuit against protest organizations at US universities, including Hamas, to disconnect them from the terrorist organization. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation for their losses, as well as to educate students about their behavior and hinder their fundraising and operations on campuses. The lawsuit also aims to obtain additional information that will reveal the flow of support to terrorist organizations on these campuses.
Legal firms like Greenberg Traurig, NJAC, Schoen, and Holtzman Vogel are leading the lawsuit, along with support from volunteers, professors, students, and other law firms. The lawsuit outlines that there was a coordinated social media campaign following Hamas’s attack on Israel, with messages justifying the attack being spread by members of the AMP and NSJP. It mentions a document called the ‘NSJP Toolbox’ that was distributed to protest leaders on campuses with instructions on propaganda, protest management, and recruitment strategies.
The prosecutors allege that the AMP and NSJP were involved in planning events that targeted the American economy in solidarity with Hamas and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. The indictment accuses these organizations of being the PR arm of terrorist groups, recruiting soldiers, spreading propaganda, and inciting violence to influence US policy and support Hamas’s goals. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation directly from these organizations as per the court’s decision.
The president of Greenberg Traurig expressed pride in representing the plaintiffs and ensuring that evidence of the defendants’ violations of the law is presented in court. He emphasized the firm’s commitment to seeking justice for those affected by terrorist actions and bringing accountability to organizations that collaborated with terrorists.
