Lawsuit Alleges Columbia Anti-Israel Groups had Advanced Knowledge of October 7th Attacks
“Three minutes before Hamas began its attack on October 7, Columbia SJP posted on Instagram ‘We are back!!’ and announced its first meeting of the semester would be announced and that viewers should ‘Stay tuned’”
Families of victims and hostages of the October 7th attacks by Hamas on Israel have launched a federal lawsuit against Columbia University. One of the most fascinating aspects of it is that it makes a credible case that anti-Israel groups at the school, such as ‘Students for Justice in Palestine’ were given advance notice of the attacks.
This would certainly explain why these groups seemed to have everything in place to launch their protests and encampments immediately after the attacks.

Lawsuit says Palestinian advocates at Columbia University further Hamas’ propaganda
Organizers and supporters of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University were sued on Monday in Manhattan federal court for allegedly functioning as Hamas’ “propaganda arm” and “in-house public relations firm” in New York City and on campus.
The lawsuit was filed by nine U.S. and Israeli citizens who were victims of Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, including relatives of people murdered or taken hostage, and two affiliated with Columbia who reported mistreatment there.
They accused the defendants of having since 2023 coordinated their efforts with Hamas, which the U.S. State Department deems a terrorist group, to further its attacks, and said some defendants “on information and belief” had advance knowledge of the attack.
The defendants include Mahmoud Khalil, who helped lead the Columbia demonstrations and was a negotiator between university administrators and the student group coalition and co-defendant Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
Other defendants include Within Our Lifetime-United for Palestine, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, Columbia-Barnard Jewish Voice for Peace, and some of their leaders.
Professor Jacobson commented about this on Twitter/X:
They may or may not have known about the specifics of the attack, more likely they got a signal from somebody to get ready. Finding out who that somebody is will probably break open the foreign manipulation of our campuses. https://t.co/AOqxhxOP9v

A New York Post report about this includes a detail about social media that looks rather damning:
The lawsuit equates the defendants with members of Hamas’ propaganda division whose actions have recruited violent offenders to spread chaos and violence in the Big Apple and across America.
It also goes as far as to suggest that some of the defendants had prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack because of the Columbia SJP’s inclusion in a signed statement supporting Hamas just hours before the massacre.
“Three minutes before Hamas began its attack on October 7, Columbia SJP posted on Instagram ‘We are back!!’ and announced its first meeting of the semester would be announced and that viewers should ‘Stay tuned,’” according to the suit.
The plaintiffs ultimately alleged that every time Hamas and its allies would put out a call for action on social media, the student groups would answer, with the encampment at Columbia’s campus and the Hamilton Hall takeover serving as prime examples.
That could be just a coincidence, but it certainly doesn’t look good.

We have so many crimes on the books that you’d think that THIS would certainly be covered by a few dozen! At the very least, the DISCOVERY in this case might just put the nail in Columbia’s coffin! That $15 BILLION endowment would make a nice DOWN PAYMENT for those who have had Family slaughtered by the leftists’ ideology! Sure the college might claim they are not responsible, but let’s see where this goes!!
Alluring, but not very probative.
Public Hamas social media accounts post advance hype for an upcoming exciting announcement. Domestic fans of Hamas repost and amplify the announcement, arguably without knowing any more about what the subsequent announcement will be than anyone else. The scenario requires no co-conspirators, just the usual brainless tools.
they are one in the same
our enemies here
are enemies everywhere
(yeah thanks mlk etc)
I wonder if there can be found enough for accessory before the fact of murder charges. Americans were killed, so…
I hope so, not that the deep state would actually investigate it.
Enough alleged to permit discovery.
If America is going to avoid the kind of problems we see in Israel and every other country, we must start cleaning house.
We’ve always had problems like this. This problem is not going away. We still live in a free (sort of) society with natural rights granted to all citizens, The cost of that is living with assholes such as those at Columbia. To willfully violate their rights is to increase the probability that our own will be violated sooner rather than later,
Another way to look at this problem is that there always was and will be a continuum between freedom and security. Increasing security always comes with a loss of freedom. Increasing freedom results in a loss of security. The US originally leaned more towards freedom. In my lifetime its moved towards security with consequences to individual freedom. Which do you prefer. You can’t have both.
Yes, we are a nation of rights… but when one citizen with his rights uses conduct like occupying rooms and buildings, preventing exams from taking place, denying lawful access to those so entitled, using violence and threats to cause others to change their lawful plans out of fear for heir own saety, then “their riights” become criminal actions. ,
Can we get real?
If these idiots knew about the attacks in advance then Mossad. Would have too.
It is possible that their were asked to increase messaging before the attacks. I think it is likely that they have followed instructions from Hamas after the attacks. Claiming they knew about the attacks in advance is just silly.
DOJ needs to get in to Columbia and root all these scum out.
