Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr joined an amicus brief to support the rights of victims of the Hamas-led terrorist Oct. 7 attacks and their families sue Americans and U.S. organizations accused of providing material support to Hamas.

The state attorney general’s office said on Wednesday that 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” have recruited foot soldiers for direct acts of violence, property destruction and campus disruptions on behalf of the terrorist group.

“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 groups “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.

“You’re the man I want by my side, Bibi,” the U.S. president told the Israeli premier.
A central message of the prime minister’s campaign is that the “change camp” can’t win without the support of Arab parties.
The U.S. president’s backing may influence more voters than conventional analysis assumes.
