Leading Palestinian advocacy groups accused of 'Hamas propoganda'

Two leading US pro-Palestine groups, National Students for Justice in Palestine and (NSJP) and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), have been accused in a federal lawsuit of spreading propaganda on Hamas's behalf. 

Filed by Greenberg Traurig, the 14th highest-grossing US law firm, the lawsuit, seen by Middle East Eye, accuses the advocacy group AJP Educational Foundation Inc, which sponsors NSJP and AMP, of serving as "Hamas’s propaganda division in the United States".

The plaintiffs are a group of nine American and Israeli individuals including six survivors of the Hamas attack on southern Israel on 7 October, the brother of a victim killed in the attack, and two others displaced from their homes in an Israeli kibbutz. The lawsuit was filed in a US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia.

The plaintiffs, the lawsuit alleges, "have been, and continue to be, injured by AMP and NSJP’s intentional, systematic, and substantial assistance to Hamas’s acts of international terrorism. AMP and NSJP are liable for Plaintiffs’ resulting damages", the lawsuit reads. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages from SNJP and AMP.
