In recent weeks, the nation has witnessed the tragic crescendo of antisemitism resulting in the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers and a “targeted terror attack” in Boulder, Colorado, where the suspect targeted participants at a pro-Israel event with Molotov cocktails, with some individuals set on fire. The suspect, Mohamad Soliman (an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally), yelled “This will end when Palestine is free,” while the suspect in the DC assassination of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim shouted “free Palestine” and told law enforcement the reason he killed them was “for Palestine, for Gaza.” These events follow more than a year of pervasive antisemitic incidents against Jewish students on college campuses across the country.
A new lawsuit alleges Hamas may have its fingerprints on some of what we're seeing in the U.S.
A Hamas member who held Israelis hostage in Gaza told the captives that the terror group was coordinating with “allies” on college campuses and in the media, according to a lawsuit filed in US court on Friday.
The lawsuit was filed by former hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv. All three were taken from the Nova music festival in southern Israel during Hamas’s October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel.
They were held in Gaza by Abdallah Aljamal, according to the lawsuit and the IDF. Aljamal was a writer for the Palestine Chronicle, a news outlet run by the People Media Project, a US-based, tax-exempt nonprofit that is the focus of the lawsuit. […]
Jan initially filed the lawsuit last year. The judge in the case granted a motion to dismiss the case last month, saying there was insufficient evidence to prove the defendants were aware that Aljamal was a Hamas operative. The judge allowed Jan to refile an amended complaint, however.
The new complaint was filed on Friday, adding Kozlov and Ziv as plaintiffs. The lawsuit, backed by the National Jewish Advocacy Center, was filed in a federal court in Washington State, where the People Media Project is based.
The case argues that the Palestine Chronicle provided Aljamal with a platform to “disseminate Hamas propaganda,” providing material support to a US-designated terrorist organization, in violation of international law.
According to the amended complaint, Ziv said Aljamal “repeatedly expressed his hatred for the State of Israel and the United States,” and told the hostages that “Hamas was in contact and actively coordinating with its affiliates in the media and on college campuses.”
Aljamal told the hostages that “Hamas was going to ensure that the United States, as well as Jews and Israelis, are hated everywhere and that Hamas in Gaza was coordinating with its allies, including its allies in the media and on college campuses, to foment hatred against Israel and Jews,” the complaint said.

While the lawsuit does not disclose details about this alleged coordination, the claims are alarming.
