Victims of October 7 massacre file lawsuit against UNRWA for aiding Hamas terrorists
2024-06-24
[FOX] The scandal-plagued United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is facing a lawsuit in Manhattan for its alleged role in aiding the terrorist movement Hamas to slaughter nearly 1,200 people on Oct. 7 in Israel, including more than 30 Americans.

The lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York on Monday, which was first exclusively reported on by the host of FOX Business Network’s Making Money with Charles Payne, lays out the charges against the controversial U.N. agency.

The lawsuit stated, "Hamas did not carry out these atrocities without assistance. It was aided and abetted by, among others, the above-named defendants, who are current or former senior officials of the UNRWA, as well as UNRWA itself, who collectively spent over a decade prior to the October 7 Attack helping Hamas build up the terror infrastructure and personnel that were necessary to carry out the October 7 Attack, including by knowingly providing Hamas with the U.S. dollars in cash that it needed to pay smugglers for weapons, explosives, and other terror materiel."

#4  Yes, he is Colombian born. However, he is not a Federal judge. According to Wiki, he is a judge on the New York STATE Supreme Court.
I thought he was a New York CITY judge, since the case was prosecuted by Alvin Bragg, who is the District Attorney of New York County.

#2  Grom, I believe Don Juan is a New York city judge. This sounds like a Federal case.
