Hostage families file suit against Columbia protesters for ties to Hamas terror

Families of hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 file lawsuit against Mahmoud Khalil and several student groups, accuse them of "aiding and abetting Hamas' continuing acts of international terrorism".

The families argue that these protests helped amplify Hamas’ hostile rhetoric.

“Defendants in this case are Hamas’ propaganda arm in New York City and on the Columbia University campus,” the suit reads.

“Their self-described acts in furtherance of their goals to assist Hamas have included terrorizing and assaulting Jewish students, unlawfully taking over and damaging public and university property on Columbia’s campus, and physically assaulting Columbia University employees,” the lawsuit continues.

The plaintiffs include six family members of hostages who are still held in Gaza, as well as some hostages who were freed or rescued. Among the plaintiffs is Iris Weinstein Haggai, the daughter of Israel-Americans Gad and Judy Haggai, who were murdered in the attack and whose bodies are held by Hamas in Gaza, and three American IDF soldiers.

In addition to Khalil, the lawsuit also names Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime-United for Palestine, Maryam Alwan of Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, and Cameron Jones of Columbia-Barnard Jewish[sic] Voice for Peace...

The families contend that as Hamas carried out its brutal assault, it issued a global call for supporters to “join the battle in any way they can.” The lawsuit claims that Khalil, Kiswani, Alwan, and Jones answered that call by preparing for anti-Israel protests at Columbia University.

“Associational Defendants have distributed pro-terror propaganda produced by and literally stamped with the logo of the ‘Hamas Media Office,’” the filing alleges.

The lawsuit compares the defendants to members of Hamas’ propaganda division, claiming their actions helped recruit individuals to spread violence in New York City and across the U.S.

(Worth mentioning, that JVP, is not really Jewish and of course nothing about "peace". It's actually managed by Islamic Hatem Bazian, founder of SJP).

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday

That was a fatal mistake

All the judges in NY City are anti Israel libs appointed by clinton, obama or biden

 

[excalibur]

Well, this is very interesting. And there seems to be some validity to this claim.

This is what happens when you allow third worlders into your nation, as many actively work against America and our friends.

​

Families of hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack are suing detained Columbia University protest leader Mahmoud Khalil and several pro-Palestinian groups, accusing them of acting as the “propaganda arm” for terrorists.​

​

The lawsuit, filed Monday in the Southern District of New York, names Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and Khalil, who served as a spokesperson for CUAD before his detention by immigration authorities.​

​

Other defendants include Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Columbia-Barnard Jewish Voice for Peace, and Within Our Lifetime-United for Palestine, an activist group based in New York City that has worked with Columbia student protesters.​

​

In addition to Khalil, the lawsuit names three other activist leaders individually and as representatives of the pro-Palestine groups.​

​

Other plaintiffs in the case include Israeli Americans who served in the Israel Defense Forces before returning to the United States to pursue studies at Columbia, and families of individuals killed in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.​

​

...​

​

The plaintiffs allege that the organizations had prior knowledge of the attack. The claim is based on the timing of the organizations’ public relations activities.​

​

For example, Columbia SJP allegedly reactivated its long-dormant Instagram account just three minutes before Hamas began its Oct. 7 attack, posting a message that read, “We are back!”​

​

The group also announced a meeting and urged supporters to “stay tuned.”​

​

The lawsuit further claims that National SJP had pre-prepared materials to coordinate with the attack.​

​

It points to the “Towfan Al-Aqsa Statement,” signed by dozens of SJP chapters, including Columbia’s, alleging that it must have been drafted and reviewed “before and/or during the events of October 7 themselves.”​

​

The statement reads, in part, “We support the resistance, we support the liberation movement, and we indisputably support the Uprising.”​

​

The lawsuit was filed under the Alien Tort Statute, a 1789 law allowing foreign nationals to sue in federal courts for violations of customary international law.​

Islamists didn't knowingly attack the USS Liberty in 1967. Nor did they strafe the lifeboats.

Lawsuit Alleges Pro-Palestinian Groups on US Campuses Had Prior Knowledge of Oct. 7 Attack

www.theepochtimes.com

Obviously a lie.
First of all, Hamas would never have allowed anyone to know about a sneak attack that is easily destroyed, because Mossad has agents everywhere.
Second is that Oct 7th was perfectly legal retaliation for decades of an illegal starvation blockade, the murder, displacement, or arrest of millions of innocent Palestinian native land owners.

No one is talking about Jews.
We are talking about Zionists in Israel who are Polish and Russians pretending to be Jewish when they really are not.
