(DCNF)—An activist group steeped in legal battles over alleged support for Hamas announced its new DMV chapter on Sunday, expanding its presence around the nation’s capital.
American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) will target schools and political institutions around Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia to spread the cause of “Palestinian liberation,” the organization said in a statement. AMP faces an investigation by Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and several lawsuits alleging material support for terrorists, though a federal court blocked Miyares’ probe in October over First Amendment concerns, Virginia Mercury reported.
AMP has continually denied associations with terrorists, but several of its leaders formerly worked for so-called charities that the federal government shut down for funding or otherwise benefitting Hamas, Capital Research Center found, citing AMP’s public webpages and documents.
“As residents of a region deeply complicit in upholding and funding the Zionist occupation, we recognize our responsibility to advance principled action in supporting [boycott, divestment and sanctions] efforts locally and challenging the political structures that enable genocide,” AMP said. “We are committed to providing political and Islamic education in our masajid, offering cultural and historical education and equipping our College and high school [Muslim Student Associations] with the political guidance, teach-ins and tools they need to build informed and unapologetic student power.”
AMP lamented “the supposed ‘ceasefire’” negotiated by President Donald Trump that Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating, as well as “martyrs” killed in the Gaza war.
“From Gaza to the DMV, the movement for Palestinian liberation remains steadfast,” AMP said. “We are grounded in our duty to achieve Collective Liberation and resist every day until every inch of land, from the river to the sea, is liberated and returned to the Palestinian people.”
The group’s terror-linked figures include AMP Executive Director Osama Abuirshaid, who wrote an article praising Hamas in 2014 that is still live on the terrorist group’s official Al Qassam Brigades website. The Obama administration denied Abuirshaid’s request for naturalization as a U.S. citizen in 2015 for failing to disclose his past work for the Islamic Association for Palestine, a now-defunct nonprofit that was found liable in federal court in 2004 for providing material support to Hamas, court records show.
AMP has been involved in anti-Israel protests around the country since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel ignited the war. The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged a Virginia-based AMP leader in 2024 and later convicted him of destruction of government property for spray-painting “Hamas is comin” on a Washington, D.C., monument during a July 2024 riot.
Hatem Bazian, AMP’s chairman, also co-founded the explicitly pro-Hamas Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which fomented anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses after the Oct. 7 attacks. Bazian helped fundraise in 2004 for KindHearts — two years before the Treasury Department sanctioned the self-described charity for funding Hamas. KindHearts reached a settlement with the government in 2012 that admitted no wrongdoing after suing over constitutional objections.
AMP’s website lists eight regional chapters in the U.S. aside from the DMV.
“Through sustained local and state-level advocacy, we aim to build a liberated future grounded injustice, dignity and self-determination for the Palestinian people,” AMP said Sunday.
“May Allah grant victory to the oppressed, protect the steadfast & allow us to witness a free Palestine within our lifetime,” the group declared.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.

Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
