Ending Jew hatred is the civil rights issue of our lifetime.

Thousands of books have documented the victimization of Jews over the centuries. This is not one of those books. This book is about ending the world’s oldest hatred against the world’s most persecuted community.

 The Lawfare Project’s mission is to preserve and defend the civil rights of Jewish and pro-Israel students and faculty members at America’s colleges and universities. These rights include freedom of speech, freedom of association, religious liberty, and the right to live, work, and be educated in an environment free from hostility. A simple guide on how to identify potential rights violations is available here.

Our Impact

We defend the civil and human rights of the Jewish community across a range of cross-cutting areas.

  • We forced Kuwait Airways to terminate half of its U.S. operations and all inter-European flight routes due to its practice of discriminating against Israeli passport-holders.

  • We succeeded in canceling a Hamas event scheduled to be held at an InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) hotel in Doha, Qatar by advising IHG on the criminal and civil liabilities that can attach for hosting a designated terrorist organization.

  • We have stopped corporations from implementing BDS practices by counseling them on the legal implications (and penalties) of discriminatory commercial conduct.

  • We successfully demanded that U.S. Congress hold the United Nations accountable for promoting and inciting violent radicalization among Palestinian children in UNWRA refugee camps.

  • We secured a team of three attorneys to provide pro bono assistance to a college student who was physically assaulted by a supporter of the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). Criminal proceedings resulted in a court order that the attacker participate in anger management counseling and community service, issue an apology, and pay court costs and supervision fees.
