Counter-Claims Against Individual Settlers Case 1:18-cv-01884-RGA Document 13-1 Filed 03/18/19 Page 1 of 69 PageID #: 273 EXHIBIT A Case 1:18-cv-01884-RGA Document 13-1 Filed 03/18/19 Page 3 of 69 PageID #: 275 Defendants and Counterclaim Plaintiffs in Intervention Ziad Alwan, Randa Wahbe, the Palestinian village of Jalud and the Palestinian town of ‘Anata (collectively, “Intervenors” and “Intervenors/Counterclaim Plaintiffs”) for their Answer and Counterclaims to the Amended Complaint filed by Plaintiffs Samuel Silber, Sidney Eddy Strulovits, Sheri Lynn Strulovits, Moshe Gordon, Daniel Jacob, Tsofiya Jacob, Lewis Weinger, Moriyah Shapiro, Jonathan Shapiro, Inbal Nazdare Levy, Yair Spolter ( “Settler-Plaintiffs” and “Settler- Plaintiffs/Counterclaim Defendants”), and Eric Charles Marx, Susan Lynn Marx, Alon Madiel, Danielle Madiel, Gulie Madiel, Howard Rabin, Jeffrey T. Schwartz, and David Tesler (“Renter- Plaintiffs”), who are not parties to the counterclaims, state as follows: INTRODUCTION TO INTERVENORS’ ANSWER AND COUNTERCLAIMS Settler-Plaintiffs’ action against Defendant Airbnb, Inc. (“Airbnb”) for purported discrimination starts from a deeply flawed and ultimately unlawful premise: that they are the rightful owners and possessors of the properties that Airbnb has decided to delist from its web platform. In fact, the properties Settler-Plaintiffs list for rent are in Jewish Israeli settlements, unlawfully established on Palestinian land, that have displaced and dispossessed Intervenors Alwan, the village of Jalud and the town of ‘Anata—who possess a rightful claim to the land upon which these properties are built. Rather than being victims of discrimination by Airbnb as they allege, Settler-Plaintiffs themselves violate the federal Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq., by posting their settlement rental listings in the U.S. that indicate discrimination against all Intervenors on the basis of national origin and religion. The role of Settler-Plaintiffs Gordon, Levy, Moriyah and Jonathan Shapiro, and Daniel and Tsofiya Jacob in the seizure and occupation of Intervenors’ land and financial profit therefrom violate the common law of trespass and unjust enrichment. The role of these Settler-Plaintiffs in the appropriation of and 1 Case 1:18-cv-01884-RGA Document 13-1 Filed 03/18/19 Page 4 of 69 PageID #: 276 settlement on Intervenors ‘Anata and Jalud’s land, as well as the ongoing forcible transfer of the residents of Intervenors ‘Anata and Jalud from their land and the pillaging of their property constitutes well-established war crimes made actionable in U.S. courts through the Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1350 (“ATS”). Finally, the role of all Settler-Plaintiffs in furthering and participating in the discriminatory settlement enterprise that results in the severe denial of fundamental rights to Palestinians constitutes the crime against humanity of persecution under the ATS. Indeed, several of Settler-Plaintiffs have relished their role in the ideological vanguard of Israel’s settlement enterprise, embracing the project to force out—and keep out—Palestinians and broadly expand Israeli control over the occupied Palestinian territory. Having invoked the jurisdiction of this Court to assert—albeit misleadingly—a purported violation of their rights in order to pursue profit off of unlawfully seized land, Settler-Plaintiffs must be held to account under the law for their fundamentally illegal conduct. Intervenors accordingly seek appropriate judicial relief from those contributing to and responsible for discrimination, dispossession, and displacement.

  • The Changing Forms of Incitement to Terror and Violence
    THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT TO TERROR AND VIOLENCE: TERROR AND TO THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT The most neglected yet critical component of international terror is the element of incitement. Incitement is the medium through which the ideology of terror actually materializes into the act of terror itself. But if indeed incitement is so obviously and clearly a central component of terrorism, the question remains: why does the international community in general, and international law in particular, not posit a crime of incitement to terror? Is there no clear dividing line between incitement to terror and the fundamental right to freedom of speech? With such questions in mind, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung held an international conference on incitement. This volume presents the insights of the experts who took part, along with a Draft International Convention to Combat Incitement to Terror and Violence that is intended for presentation to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

  • Radicalization of the Settlers' Youth: Hebron As a Hub for Jewish Extremism
    © 2014, Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition Volume 7, Issue 1, pp. 69-85 ISSN: 1918-5901 (English) -- ISSN: 1918-591X (Français) Radicalization of the Settlers’ Youth: Hebron as a Hub for Jewish Extremism Geneviève Boucher Boudreau University of Ottawa, Canada Abstract: The city of Hebron has been a hub for radicalization and terrorism throughout the modern history of Israel. This paper examines the past trends of radicalization and terrorism in Hebron and explains why it is still a present and rising ideology within the Jewish communities and organization such as the Hilltop Youth movement. The research first presents the transmission of social memory through memorials and symbolism of the Hebron hills area and then presents the impact of Meir Kahana’s movement. As observed, Hebron slowly grew and spread its population and philosophy to the then new settlement of Kiryat Arba. An exceptionally strong ideology of an extreme form of Judaism grew out of those two small towns. As analyzed—based on an exhaustive ethnographic fieldwork and bibliographic research—this form of fundamentalism and national-religious point of view gave birth to a new uprising of violence and radicalism amongst the settler youth organizations such as the Hilltop Youth movement. Keywords: Judaism; Radicalization; Settlers; Terrorism; West Bank Geneviève Boucher Boudreau 70 Résumé: Dès le début de l’histoire moderne de l’État d’Israël, les villes d’Hébron et Kiryat Arba sont devenues une plaque tournante pour la radicalisation et le terrorisme en Cisjordanie. Cette recherche examine cette tendance, explique pourquoi elle est toujours d’actualité ainsi qu’à la hausse au sein de ces communautés juives.
