• A Columbia University student, Yusuf Hafez, filed a lawsuit on Monday against Accuracy in Media and its president, Adam Guillette, after Hafez’s name and face appeared under the banner “Columbia’s Leading Antisemites” on the so-called doxxing truck that circled the Morningside Heights campus.
• The complaint, filed in New York Supreme Court, states that Accuracy in Media created a website domain under Hafez’s full name and falsely referred to him as “a leader of an organization that signed this hateful, antisemitic letter,” referencing an open letter expressing “full solidarity with Palestinian resistance against over 75 years of Israeli settler-colonialism and apartheid.”
• Nearly two dozen Columbia University student organizations initially signed the letter, but the groups’ names have since been removed.
