77 Groups Worldwide Back Genocide Lawsuit Against Biden in U.S. Court
77 Groups Worldwide Back Genocide Lawsuit Against Biden in U.S. Court
The Biden administration is due in federal court later this month, while Israel faces charges of genocide at The Hague this week.
In late December, 77 groups — representing tens of thousands of lawyers, civil society leaders, and activists from six continents — filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit that Palestinian human rights organizations, residents of Gaza, and U.S. citizens with family members impacted by Israel’s ongoing assault brought against the Biden administration.
According to Law for Palestine, a human rights and legal advocacy organization, there have been at least 500 instances of Israeli lawmakers, officials, and officers inciting genocide.
Sourani said that the statements by Israeli officials, along with the actual blockade, the indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian buildings, the basic lack of safe space, and the mass displacement of millions of Palestinians makes it clear: “All of this is tantamount to genocide.”
The plaintiffs responded to the administration’s motion to dismiss on December 22, arguing that there is precedent for U.S. courts to adjudicate questions surrounding genocide and that their legal challenge is about more than the actions of a foreign state. Rather, the plaintiffs argued, their injuries are “fairly traceable” to the actions of the U.S. government. “The suggestion that the U.S. does not or cannot influence Israel borders on the absurd, not least because the Israeli government acknowledges its actions could not happen without U.S. license and support, and Defendants have boasted about their coordination with and influence over Israel,” the plaintiffs wrote.
You're viewing a single thread.
Can Democrat voters get some pressure going to replace Biden with someone who isn't a genocidal Zionazi? If you really want to vote Democrat instead of third party at least make it clear that they have to replace Genocide Joe.
There are some strong primary contenders but the DNC is corrupt as shit and refuses to hold a primary election. They’re even going so far as to call the state DNC offices and request that primaries be canceled or candidates removed from the primary ballots. There’s a lawsuit in SC over this and an emergency hearing is taking place on it today as a matter of fact.
All this from those who claim “democracy is at risk” in ‘24 elections.
Personally, I think both parties are far too corrupted by bribe money, and we should just back a new 3rd party. It’s hard to organize that when all of corporate media seeks to snuff you out though.
“The Democrats are corrupt as shit” - that’s some projection there, buddy. Another shit-talking republican/russian bot…
wrong, gross.
I invite you to consider Hillary stealing the nom from Bernie, Biden’s only campaign promise he followed through on being “nothing will fundamentally change” for his rich donors, or Pelosi consistently laughing off so much as a conversation about rampant congressional insider trading on the stock market.
Just because Republicans are open and proud about their corruption, doesn’t mean the 2nd party in a 2 party system isn’t also incredibly corrupt. Americans deserve better, and deserve actual representation in this alleged “democracy”
The unfortunate reality is that any Biden replacement would be doomed to lose to Trump. The degree to which many Americans don't pay attention to politics is shocking, and because of that they're more likely to vote for a candidate based on simple things like name recognition rather than actual policy
Trump went from a 1% vote to a victory in a short timespan without even having been supported in the beginning.
Democrats vote Democrat. They don't just vote for Biden. Even Bernie could have won if the DNC didn't actively sabotage his campaign.
Bernie would have lost in 2020, unfortunately
Good thing that the Democrats threw him under the bus for Hillary who then lost in 2016?
