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.
