Parents of Boy Murdered by Hamas Sue American Muslims for Palestine

12

What would you do if your 17-year-old child was killed in a drive-by shooting by Hamas terrorists?

In the case of the family of David Boim, they took it to court and sued organizations such as the Islamic Association for Palestine, part of the Palestine Committee, the Hamas support network in this country.

The Boims won their case, and were awarded 156 million dollars in damages. However, as is often the case in Islamic atrocities of this kind, the decision was overturned on appeal. But the Boims persisted:

November 3, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago upheld in large measure a $156 million award to the parents of David Boim, a 17-year-old U.S. citizen murdered by members of Hamas while visiting Israel.”

“The en banc court agreed with WLF that those who donate funds to a known terrorist group are responsible under U.S. law for the group’s actions – even if the donors contend that they only intended to support the group’s “humanitarian” activities.” “The court also rejected the 7th Circuit panel’s conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to find Hamas was responsible the teenager’s death.”

As a result, and to avoid paying the damages, the Islamic Association for Palestine closed shop, only to reopen on the same street, with the same leadership, same mission, but if a different name – American Muslims for Palestine.

The Boims took notice of this and have filed a law suit against the AMP to coincide with the 17th anniversary of the murder of David Boim.

“Lawsuit Targets American Muslims for Palestine,” IPT News, May 12, 2017:

A national anti-Israel group and several of its activists are “alter egos and/or successors” of a Hamas-support network that was found liable for an American teen’s death in a 1996 terrorist attack, litigation filed in Chicago federal court Friday claims.

After Stanley and Joyce Boim won $156 million in damages, defendants including the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) and the American Muslim Society (AMS) shut down and claimed to be unable to pay. It was a ruse, the Boims’ attorneys claim, as many of the same people opened up American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) at a nearby address.

A subsequent criminal prosecution found that other defendants in the original lawsuit, like the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) and the United Association for Studies and Research, were part of a Muslim Brotherhood-created Hamas-support network in the United States called the Palestine Committee.

The IAP used to hold annual conventions. The year after it shut down, AMP held its first national meeting, offering the same “audience, content, management, speakers, and … message” as the IAP gatherings, the complaint said.

Today, AMP and its financial arm, Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation, continue the work done by the defunct groups in the original Boim suit, the complaint said. AMP donors and officers “are substantially identical to the management and donors of their alter egos and predecessors, HLF, IAP and AMS.”

In 2015, the Investigative Project on Terrorism first identified the connections between the AMP and Palestine Committee groups. Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Vice President Jonathan Schanzer built on those connections in congressional testimony last year.

Rafeeq Jaber, a defendant in the new action, handles AJP’s taxes, the complaint says. He previously served as president of both the IAP and AMS. AMP President Abdelbasset Hamayel was IAP’s secretary general. AMP board member Osama Abu Irshaid edited the IAP newsletter, Al-Zaytounah. The publication ran Hamas communiques and solicited donations for the Holy Land Foundation.

Although the Boim complaint makes no allegations about religion, AMP Chairman Hatem Bazian dismissed it and the allegations it makes as “frivolous and highly Islamophobic.”

The original Boim lawsuit focused on 17-year-old David Boim’s 1996 murder in a Hamas shooting attack on a bus stop in Israel. His parents collected only a small portion of the damages awarded in that suit. The defendants “deliberately created and [hid] behind new legal entities, to obscure their identity and avoid paying the judgment,” a memorandum filed along with the new complaint said.

It was filed on the 17th anniversary of David Boim’s murder.

“These defendants cannot escape their legal liability and accountability for murder by merely changing the names of their organizations. We are filing this lawsuit to secure justice for David’s memory precisely 17 years after the Boims’ original lawsuit was filed against those who murdered their 17-year-old son,” attorney Alyza Lewin said in a statement.

There’s way more than the story tells. Body parts are usually a side product, What they’re really after is very young blood, for it’s TIMP2 protein value, especially from an umbilical cord, up to young teens. Young adult past teens protein value diminishes as they age. That’s why there are tens of thousand of young children, from toddlers to teens disappearing. It’s the ghouls after TIMP2 protein blood. Sadly, the rich are buying it to remain young.

Since the globalist elites planned and created the mass migration of humans, many people have claimed the elites are actually in the black-market organ sales business. There are huge profits to be made.

I hope the Boims win their lawsuit for David Boim and all the other Jews murdered in Israel.

Too many Jews have been killed by Palestinian Hamas terrorists and then the families of these terrorists are paid by the PLO.

May David Boim’s memory be for a blessing.

What about the colleges, academics that harbor these people?

Could they be named in this lawsuit?

At the very least, the finances could be exposed in discovery.

The counter attack against islamic warfare has begun. Every murder or assault committed by palestinian muslims agains anyone else should be examined form a personal injury perspective, with appropriate lawsuits launched.

This is the way to fight these SOBs and that is through the court system. It is the same strategy used to bankrupt the Klan in the US, sue their pants off and force them to liquidate all their assets to pay the judgment.

To think that this suit has been going on for 17 years is a cruel absurdity. The Boims deserve every single penny of $156M. Losing a son in that brutal manner by hateful Terrorists is a nightmare that will follow parents for the rest of their days. These groups who hark from the Middle East that turn a blind eye to the horror they foster need to pay and pay HUGE.

The next thing to do after this family’s brave persistence is to contact representatives and senators and link this story and let them know we want the muslamists organizations out of our country or at least not supporting terrorism. When 2018 comes around with campaigning we need to support the “right” people. Let them know that in your email or call!

Its really simple to contact them. See link – http://whoismyrepresentative.com/
