"...series of legal actions targeted the prominent New York-based activist group Within Our Lifetime, as well as the Columbia University chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine..the groups were allegedly funded by Hamas"
"While few of these lawsuits are expected to succeed in court, they align with broader efforts by pro-Israel lobbyists and the Trump-aligned right to clamp down on criticism of Israel"

@NotImpressed @palestine Before Trump's dictatorship abolishes the rule of the old law, the courts can weaponized against opponents of Zionism and its imperialist patrons. In a legal war of attrition, those with the deepest pockets win. Activist groups will be compelled to put time and scarce resources into their legal defense.
The opposition to this must be mounted on all fronts. The cases of Momodou Taal, Mahmoud Khalil and Runeysa Ozturk are the front line.

@NotImpressed @palestine ... CONTINUED
Trump needs the rule by force, terror and violence of a dictatorship because there is NOT mass support for his program. The struggle is whether students, workers and youth can organize an opposition movement to stop them.
I recommend reviewing the following World Socialist Website meeting held on Thursday:
