Hamas-linked activist org sets up shop in America’s capital
Opinion by Hudson Crozier • 19h
An activist group steeped in legal battles over alleged support for Hamas announced its new DMV chapter on Sunday, expanding its presence around the nation’s capital.
American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) will target schools and political institutions around Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia to spread the cause of “Palestinian liberation,” the organization said in a statement. AMP faces an investigation by Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and several lawsuits alleging material support for terrorists, though a federal court blocked Miyares’ probe in October over First Amendment concerns, Virginia Mercury reported.
AMP has continually denied associations with terrorists, but several of its leaders formerly worked for so-called charities that the federal government shut down for funding or otherwise benefitting Hamas, Capital Research Center found, citing AMP’s public webpages and documents.
