In 2019, Palestine Legal lawyers reported responding to more than 180 attempts to suppress the speech of students and academics supporting Palestinian rights.[9]

In response to the 2023 October 7 attacks, Dylan Saba, an attorney with Palestine Legal, said "Glory to the resistance and the people of Palestine". Saba was described by The Forward as part of a small segment of the Jewish left that supported the Hamas attack.[11]
