The meat of the complaint begins on page 53, where the plaintiffs allege that Facebook provided material support for terrorists.
Interestingly, the plaintiffs allege several violations of Israeli law but they are seeking relief in US federal court. I don't see how the US federal court could have jurisdiction over violations of Israeli statutes.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Interestingly, the plaintiffs allege several violations of Israeli law but they are seeking relief in US federal court. The first and second claims are claims under US law. The third and subsequent claims are claims under Israeli law. US law -- specifically, 28 USC Sec. 1367 -- gives US federal courts "supplemental jurisdiction" over claims (regardless of the law under which they arise) that are part of the same "case or controversy" as claims within their original jurisdiction.
