[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”]
Victims and families of victims of the October 7 attacks have just filed a massive lawsuit against both those terrorist groups that carried out the attacks and their state sponsors. More on this lawsuit can be found here: “October 7 massacre lawsuit filed for 140 people against terrorist groups and state sponsors,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, September 18, 2025:
A lawsuit by over 140 family members and victims of the October 7 massacre against the terrorist organization perpetrators and their state sponsors was filed…
The filing sought judgment against eight terrorist organizations for homicide, material support for terrorism, aiding and abetting terrorism, and conspiracy under the Anti-Terrorism Act, which allows US nationals to seek civil action in the US for terrorism conducted by Foreign Terrorist Organizations abroad.
The ADL and Crowell & Moring named Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, the Popular Resistance Committees, the Palestinian Resistance Committees, the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, and Hezbollah as responsible for varying crimes against US citizens and their families.
The suit also targeted four state actors under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which allows victims to sue countries that are US-designated state sponsors of terrorism….
Iran and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Syria, and North Korea were accused of facilitating, supporting, or funding the activity of the terrorist organizations involved in the October 7 massacre. The suit brought claims of punitive damages, direct liability, assault, civil conspiracy, aiding and abetting, emotional suffering, and wrongful death….
Lawfare can tie these terrorist groups and the state actors who support them in litigation for a long time, and if the plaintiffs are ultimately successful in their civil suits, the defendants, including the state actors being sued, should be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars. Some of them may even have their assets in the U.S. seized to pay the judgment. But here is just one thing about the suit that confounds me. The suit names three state actors, Iran, Syria, and North Korea, but the world’s main supporter and funder of the terror groups, including Hamas, is not a defendant in this suit or in he one filed in 2024. Why is that? I am speaking, of course, of Janus-faced meretricious Islamic Qatar. Those who are involved in this suit, please explain.
Time to go after the biggest financers of the Terrorists like the UN, Soros and the DNC
Suing these terrorists groups for damages? Who thought of this nonsense. They just might get damages paid by those 3 states, well 2 of them but not NK, but these terrorists groups will never pay up. After all they are terrorists. Not exactly law abiding organizations.
Excellent question.
There is something nefarious going on with regard to Qatar and it is deeply troubling. It is as though the innocent blood on the hands of the Qatari government’s funding of terrorism is being deliberately white washed.
I am becoming very suspicious of Trump, Witkoff, Kushner et al and their business dealings with Qatar compromising their fealty to the United States while appearing otherwise.
In all honesty, I began feeling uneasy after Trump shook hands with Al-Sharaa in his suit-wearing attire nixing his Islamic turban, while he subsequently ordered the slaughter of Alawites, Kurds, Druze and Christians.
Is Trump attempting to negate him being involved in ISIS by re-imaging him before the world in some supposed benefit to the greater Middle East? just what in the hell is he REALLY doing??
His secretiveness is a red flag and foreign correspondents should be pushing hard for answers.
Maybe I’m off base, but I trust my gut and there is something fishy going on here.
May I point out another odd omission; Why isn’t Shin Bet, or the ISA, being sued. The sole reason for their existence was – is – to prevent such a massive atrocities as Oct 7.
Discovery would be fascinating is such a case. There are already tantalizing hints that they didn’t miss anything at all!
