(Free Beacon) A group of Republican attorneys general has filed an amicus brief backing a lawsuit against American Muslims for Palestine and National Students for Justice in Palestine, the anti-Israel groups accused of providing material support to Hamas.
The coalition of 22 attorneys general, led by Virginia’s Jason Miyares and Iowa’s Brenna Bird, filed the brief late last week, urging the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to “decline to dismiss” a lawsuit brought on by survivors and family members of those killed by Hamas on Oct. 7.
The defendants stand accused of serving as “the propaganda and recruiting wing of a Foreign Terrorist Organization in the United States.” American Muslims for Palestine and National Students for Justice in Palestine have galvanized anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activists across the country in the wake of Oct. 7, calling for a “Unity Intifada” against the Jewish state and vowing to “contribute to the fight for Palestinian liberation.”
