A massive federal lawsuit just named Columbia Apartheid Divest, Students for Justice in Palestine, Within Our Lifetime, and Jewish Voice for Peace as straight-up collaborators with Hamas.

Not protesters. Not activists. Operatives.

Follow the money.

Gaza Captor Told Hostages That Hamas Collaborates with US Campus Protesters

They didn’t simply express support for Hamas, they actually collaborated and coordinated with Hamas.

This isn’t free speech. This is material support to terrorists.

The bombshell lawsuit filed today in New York’s Southern District against some of the largest terror supporters and antisemitic mob riot organizers in NYC, including:
– Nerdeen Kiswani & WOL
– Maryam Alwan & SJP Columbia
– Mahmoud Khalil & CUAD
– Cameron Jones & JVP Columbia

Defendants are alleged to be PR arms of Hamas, spreading their hate and recruiting new members in the U.S.

Plaintiffs include the daughter of Judy Weinstein and Gad Haggai, other victims of 10/7, and lone soldiers returning from the war unable to pursue their studies at Columbia due to antisemitic harassment and isolation.
Counts include:
1. Violation of the Antiterrorism Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2333(d)
2. Violation of the Law of Nations, 28 U.S.C. § 1350

These are terrorists and should be prosecuted as terrorists.

Lawsuit Targets Anti-Israel Campus Leaders for ‘Aiding and Abetting’ Hamas

Complaint alleges student organizations are providing ‘material support’ to terror groups.

By Maya Sulkin, Free Press, March 24, 2025:

A lawsuit filed Monday in the Southern District of New York alleges a coordinated campaign of support between several American nonprofit groups and organizations and prominent anti-Israel activists, and Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Defendants named in the lawsuit include Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil, a spokesperson for CUAD, who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on March 8. Other defendants include Nerdeen Kiswani, co-founder and leader of Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestinian activist group; Maryam Alwan, a representative of Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine; and Cameron Jones, a representative of Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace.

The plaintiffs include Columbia students as well as parents of hostages who were abducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Khalil’s arrest on March 8 sparked a heated debate across the country about the limits of freedom of speech and association. But this suit claims that debate misses the point entirely.

“This case is not about individuals and organizations independently exercising their free speech rights to support whatever cause they wish—no matter how abhorrent,” the complaint argues. “Rather, it is about organizations and their leaders knowingly providing substantial assistance—in the form of propaganda and recruiting services—to, and in coordination with, a designated foreign terrorist organization, Hamas.”

The lawsuit notes one plaintiff, Shlomi Ziv, was taken hostage on October 7 and that his captors “bragged about having Hamas operatives on American university campuses” and “showed him Al-Jazeera stories and photographs of protests at Columbia University,” organized by the various defendants.

Filed by attorneys at the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC), Schoen Law Firm, Greenberg Traurig, and Holtzman Vogel, the lawsuit seeks “compensatory and punitive damages” against defendants for “violating the Antiterrorism Act and the law of nations,” according to the suit filed Monday.

In filing the complaint, Mark Goldfeder, the lead attorney at NJAC, hopes to “make it clear that the right to propagandize on college campuses is important, but it does not encompass coordinating with a terrorist organization or breaking university rules. They are not independently endorsing Hamas.” The defendants, he believes, “are providing material support.”

According to the lawsuit, “as soon as October 8th, the national chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine—a group that was suspended from Columbia’s campus and has since acted under the guise of CUAD—handed out toolkits to its chapters, including those at Columbia University, urging ‘real’ support to Hamas (not just rhetoric), in response to Hamas’ ‘call for mass mobilization.’ ”
