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.”
No one suggested anything of the sort. So again, you pretend. Sad really. And no, in no way does slagging on Biden for the crap hand he’s been dealt do anything against the slaughter but in fact the derision increases the chance that the slaughter shall be worse after Jan. 20th 2025.
Liberals are legit indistinguishable from magats at this point. Feigning ignorance while telling oppressed people to shut up and take it or they’ll have it even worse. Biden could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and you would start chanting FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! You’re fascist cunts and I hope you rot in the same graves as the republicans you so desperately want to win
“bOtH sIdEs!!!1!!!” and yet you’ll whine when called out as a shrub or useful idiot.
It encourages him not to support a genocide. It’s the whole “push him left” that I thought we were supposed to do after he got elected the first time. And there’s being dealt a crap hand and there’s not saying anything publically to denounce Israel while working around Congress to give the more weapons to kill children with.
Nope. Biden has already spoken out against it and has worked none stop to end it, including getting the ceasefire that did happen. You are simply spreading misinformation.
