Federal Lawsuit Accuses U.S. Activist Groups of Coordinating with Hamas and Iran

Families of October 7 victims allege Columbia's Students for Justice in Palestine and others provided material support for terrorism and engaged in acts of intimidation on U.S. campuses.

• A federal lawsuit filed in Manhattan accuses U.S.-based activist groups, including Columbia University's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), of acting as a propaganda arm for Hamas and aiding its activities.
• The lawsuit alleges that Columbia SJP posted a suggestive Instagram message just minutes before the October 7 Hamas attack, raising questions about potential prior knowledge.
• It highlights the dissemination of Hamas propaganda materials, including a 'toolkit' urging loyalty to Hamas and flyers praising the October 7 attacks, during campus protests.
• The suit claims coordination between U.S. activist groups, Hamas, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including organizing protests and an economic blockade.
• Jewish students and faculty have reported harassment, vandalism, and safety concerns linked to pro-Hamas protests, which the lawsuit argues violate the U.S. Antiterrorism Act.
