Rescued hostage sues US nonprofit with ties to Gaza journalist who held him captive

Rescued hostage Almog Meir Jan is suing the People Media Project, a United States-based nonprofit that has ties to the journalist who held him captive, Fox News reported on Tuesday.

Meir Jan, 22, was held by Abdallah Aljamal, a spokesman for the Hamas-run labor ministry in Gaza who has contributed to several news outlets in the past, and who was a correspondent for the Palestine Chronicle, which is run by the nonprofit.

Meir Jan, along with hostages Shlomi Ziv, 40, and Andrey Kozlov, 27, was rescued from Aljamal’s home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat on June 8. Hostage Noa Argamani, 26, who was held some 180 meters (200 yards) away, was also rescued. Despite their buoyant appearance upon their return, the four were said to have faced harsh conditions in captivity.

The four were abducted from the Reim-area Nova music festival on October 7, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed southern Israel to kill nearly 1,200 people and take 251 hostages. Three-hundred and sixty people were killed at the Nova massacre.

Former Israeli hostage sues US nonprofit for allegedly paying Hamas operative who held him captive

Almog Meir Jan spent 246 days captive in the Gaza Strip, the lawsuit alleges.

A hostage kidnapped during the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel has filed a lawsuit against a United States nonprofit organization that he alleges provided financial support to the militant who imprisoned him before his rescue by the Israel Defense Forces, according to court records.

snip------------------------------

According to the lawsuit, Jan, 22, was rescued from the home of a Hamas operative named Abdallah Aljamal, who served as one of the militant group's designated spokespeople who had contributed writings to the website Palestine Chronicle, which is operated by the People Media Project.

The People Media Project is a nonprofit organization registered in Washington state whose senior leadership also are listed as top editors for the Palestine Chronicle.

The Palestine Chronicle's website describes the nonprofit's mission as educating "the general public by providing a forum that strives to highlight issues of relevance to human rights, national struggles, freedom and democracy in the form of daily news, commentary, features, TV programs, podcasts, book reviews, photos, art, in addition to media and other speaking engagements."

From the *journalist's* October 23, 2023 *story*.

The Israeli war on the Gaza population followed a daring attack by Hamas fighters at Israeli targets, which killed, according to Israeli sources, over 1,400 people, including hundreds of soldiers and also civilians

Pretty much like the anti-semites protesting on college campuses here.
