Fight against Hamas-affiliated protest groups: Compensation sought for affected American citizens
In a legal battle against Hamas-affiliated protest groups, Israeli and American citizens who were affected by the 7/10 events have filed a lawsuit. The plaintiffs include survivors, relatives of victims, and displaced residents, and they are seeking to disconnect these organizations from Hamas and educate students involved in protests about their behavior. 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 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 management, protest management strategies, and recruitment tactics. The document emphasized that actions beyond symbolic gestures were necessary to achieve liberation even if it meant resorting to violent confrontation. The NSJP also claimed to be part of an organized intifada led by Hamas and supported liberation through any means necessary.
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. They accuse these organizations of being the PR arm of terrorist groups, recruiting soldiers, spreading propaganda to influence US policy decisions supporting Hamas’s goals. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation directly from these organizations as per court decision.
Richard Rosenbaum, president of Greenberg Traurig expressed pride in representing the plaintiffs in this case while ensuring evidence of defendants’ violations is presented in court. He emphasized firm’s commitment towards justice for those affected by terrorist activities bringing accountability for organizations collaborating with terrorists.
