The Washington Free Beacon wrote about HLLI’s case, Faoro v. Jewish Voice for Peace Inc. et al., in which HLLI is suing organizations and individuals who engaged in traffic blockades in Washington, D.C.
The Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute filed its lawsuit Friday on behalf of Daniel Faoro, who was trapped by the blockade. They called the traffic jam “perhaps the most disruptive action by anti-Israel activists” and said commuters “were trapped in their vehicles with no inkling as to when their freedom of movement would be restored.”
“Thousands of commuters were late for work or school, or missed critical appointments and important events, some of which may have been scheduled weeks in advance,” the complaint said. “Plaintiff Faoro and other innocent class members traveling into and around the District that morning had nothing to do with the conflict thousands of miles away, or the debate within Congress regarding support for Israel; many probably have no opinion at all on the issue.”
