Hamas’s First American Victim: What the Three-Decade Old Murder of an American Teenager Can Teach Us About College Riots, Anti-Semitism, and the Future of American National Security David Boim was a 17-year-old American boy living in Israel. In May of 1996, he was standing at a bus station outside Jerusalem, waiting for his ride back home, when Hamas terrorists drove by and shot him in the head. His parents, Stanley and Joyce, filed a major lawsuit against a host of American non-profits they argued U.S.-based non-profits they claimed had provided “material support” to the terrorist group. In 2004, the Boims prevailed, and were awarded $156 million in damages. Those responsible, however, never paid up: They disbanded their organizations and, as a new lawsuit argues, founded nearly identical ones employing the same people in the same roles. And these new organizations, it turns out, are now playing a super-sized role in organizing the anti-semitic riots on American college campuses. Join Asaf Romirowsky, the executive director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East; General Yossi Kuperwasser, the former head of the research division in the Israel Defence Force Military Intelligence division and Director General of the Israel Ministry of Strategic Affairs; and Joyce Boim in a conversation about the case and what it can teach us about the national security threats Americans and Jews are facing today.
