But it was not. Americans were attacked too. There are even 8 U.S. citizens still being held hostage today by Hamas. \n\nIt\u2019s not clear what the U.S. Government is doing for these American victims and their families. What recourse do our fellow citizens have? Well, here\u2019s one: the Anti-Defamation League has filed a lawsuit on behalf of more than 125 US citizens and their families who were killed or wounded in the kibbutzim in southern Israel and at the Nova music festival. The lawsuit accuses Iran, Syria and North Korea of providing material support to Hamas. The lawsuit lays out publicly available evidence of training, weapons and financial support from Iran; training and financing from Syria; and weapons and tunnel-digging assistance from North Korea. But where can this lawsuit actually go - what could it achieve?\n\nThis is the focus of my conversation with Jonathan Greenblatt, who has been the CEO of the ADL since 2015. Prior to joining the ADL, he was a senior official in the Obama White House, and has had a long career in business and the non-profit sector before he joined the Obama administration.\n\nTo learn more about the Anti-Defamation League, visit: https://www.adl.org/\n\nFind Jonathan on X here: https://x.com/JGreenblattADL\nAnd on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jgreenblattadl/\n\nADL on X: https://x.com/ADL\nADL on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adl_national/?hl=en
