On Tuesday, The New York Post<\/a> reported that Almog Meir Jan, 22, a hostage taken by Hamas on October 7th, is suing a US non-profit which employed his Hamas operative captor as a war correspondent. Good for him.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The organization runs a pro-Palestinian news website<\/a> and had frequently published the work of Abdullah Aljamal, a Gaza-based journalist and former spokesman for the terrorist organization. He began writing articles for the website in May 2019, according to court filings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is indisputable that defendants provided Hamas operative Aljamal, whose connections to Hamas were publicly known, with a US-based and taxpayer subsidized platform to publish Hamas propaganda and to pass the material off as independent journalism,\u201d the lawsuit says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jan was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 last year while he attended the Nova Music Festival. He was held hostage for 246 days, along with Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41, at Aljamal family\u2019s home in Nuseirat, according to the Israeli Defense Forces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jan claimed he was \u201cabused and mistreated\u201d by his captors, according to legal papers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aljamal, who wrote articles for the website lamenting the evils of war<\/a> and had also worked as a spokesman for the Hamas Ministry of Labor, continued to have his work published by the Palestine Chronicle until just before the June 8 rescue operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He and his family were killed during the raid, according to reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Two board members of the non-profit are also named as defendants in the lawsuit. Ramzy Baroud, editor-in-chief of the Palestine Chronicle, is also a non-resident scholar at the University of California Santa Barbara\u2019s Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies and a Senior Research fellow at the Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA).<\/strong><\/p>\n

CIGA hosted a conference in 2021 that was sponsored in part by Hamas and is directed by Sami Al-Arian, who has been convicted of terrorism-related crimes and deported from the US<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Harvey, who describes himself as a Buddhist priest and is also on the board of the group, is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. He incorporated the People Media Company in 1999, according to public records.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to examine the role that some nonprofit organizations are playing in supporting terrorism, illegal immigration, and other activities not conducive to law and order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
