Plaintiff's attorney slams U.S. ruling in Facebook incitement appeal

The attorney for the plaintiffs criticizes a decision by a New York court to reject an appeal by American victims of Hamas attacks in Israel, who sought to hold Facebook liable for providing the group a social media platform to further its terroristic goals.

“This a tragic victory for the terrorist groups who now have a court sanctioned license to continue to organize, recruit, fundraisers and publicize their extremist violence on the social media platforms," says Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat HaDin.

"This is judicial legislation of the worst sort and endangers real people’s lives."
