Bolstered by a momentous ICJ ruling, Palestinians, including Americans, gave three hours of testimony against the Biden administration.
Lawyers involved with the lawsuit playing out in federal court said that the ICJ ruling bolsters their case. Their lawsuit argues that Biden, Blinken, and Austin are liable under U.S. law for failing to uphold their obligation to prevent genocide in Gaza.
Barry Trachtenberg, a professor of Jewish history and author of two books about the Holocaust, testified as an expert witness in the case – over repeated objections from Justice Department attorneys. When he filed his declaration in the case in November, he said, some 11,000 Palestinians had been killed. Today, that number is far greater.
“Everything that we feared and more is unfolding,” he said, noting that often, legal actions about genocide happen long after the fact. “What makes this situation so unique is that we’re watching the genocide unfold as we speak. And we’re in this incredibly unique position where we can actually intervene to stop it using the mechanisms of international law that are available to us.”
“Biden in no way supports it”
This is a flat out lie and you should be ashamed of yourself for typing it. If there is ONE THING Biden has made ABSOLUTELY CLEAR since October, it’s that he will protect Israel with any means necessary.
It’s no wonder people don’t take liberals like you seriously, you’re a fucking brain dead idiot.
People who support genocide for its own sake aren’t known to balk at dishonesty.
People who balk at genocide aren’t known to go around approval from Congress to sell weapons to Israel (twice) so that they could continue dropping more bombs on Gaza than in any similar period during any recorded war.
Stamp your feet all you like but all evidence is to the contrary. You are simply mad Biden can’t wave a magic wand and make the slaughter stop.
The evidence that he’s for genocide: He sells weapons for the purpose when he doesn’t have to.
The evidence he’s against it: “Trust us, guys. He’s totally working behind the scenes!”
Are you kidding me? He can end it with a phone call to Bibi. In fact he can order his just-offshore aircraft carriers to enforce a no fly zone over Gaza.
Proven false and were he stupid enough to listen to your idiocy it would assure his loss in Nov.
