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.

She has pledged to uphold her brother’s foreign policy legacy, including support for Israel, backing the Trump administration in the war against Iran and opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The armed officers allegedly entered an area under Israeli security responsibility, seized the soldier’s weapon and drove him into Area A near Ramallah.
“I’m an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, so antisemitism is why I’m here in the first place,” the mother told JNS. “To see it out in full effect in the daylight is awful.”
The announcement on Monday night places the country seventh on the list of Latin American states adopting the widely used working definition.
