Victory for San Francisco State professor over pro-Israel lawfare suit
After three attempts at litigation, pro-Israel lawfare strategists have failed to silence a Palestinian American professor at San Francisco State University.
On Monday, a federal judge in San Francisco
finally dismissed a frivolous lawsuit against professor
Rabab Abdulhadi and the university over her Palestine research and criticisms of Israel, which was filed as part of a years-long targeted
bullying campaign intended to censor and threaten professors and students who advocate for Palestinian rights.
Judge William Orrick III “this time dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the lawsuit cannot be filed again,” said Palestine Legal on Tuesday.
The lawsuit, which was initially
filed in June 2017 by the Lawfare Project – and then re-filed twice more after each attempt was dismissed – accused Abdulhadi and her employer of fostering a hostile environment for Jewish students which they claimed was due to the growing support for Palestinian rights on campus.
