Investigating NSJP for Violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act

Year
2024

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is an act which requires any entity which engaged in political activities in the United States to register and make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with their foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities. Representing families of victims of the October 7 massacre, Shurat HaDin issued a letter to the US Attorney General, requesting it launch an immediate investigation against National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) for violating FARA. The victims are arguing that NSJP is acting as an agent of Hamas in the United States, and it engages in political activities on college campuses across the country that are intended to influence US public opinion in support of Hamas, in violation of FARA.
