Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr joined an amicus brief to support the rights of victims of the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and their families to sue American individuals and organizations accused of providing material support to Hamas, the attorney general’s office announced on Wednesday.

Organizations named in the document include anti-Israel groups Students for Justice in Palestine, Within Our Lifetime and “other affiliated organizations that are alleged to have served as the Hamas propaganda division.”

Actions listed in the brief include recruiting foot soldiers for direct acts of violence, property destruction and campus disruptions on behalf of the terrorist organization.

“Those who provide support to violent terrorist organizations must be held accountable,” Carr stated. “We’re proud to support the victims of the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks and the families of those brutally murdered by Hamas, and we will continue to stand against antisemitism in all its forms.”

According to the filed brief, the organizations “willfully associated themselves with Hamas and knowingly took direction from a terrorist organization to spread propaganda in the United States.”

Carr also filed an amicus brief in September 2024, allowing Oct. 7 survivors to sue American Muslims for Palestine and National SJP, also for allegedly providing material support to Hamas.
