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.
That the one single man - Joe Biden - who by changing his own actions could almost certainly guarantee that Trump was kept out, refuses to stop materially supporting Genocide and instead he and those of his tribe demand that millions of Americans (most of whom voted for him and who he is supposed to represent) ignore their Principles and vote for him again, says it all.
Joe Biden’s actions are neither compatible with the stated goal of keeping Trump out nor are they compatible with being an elected representative of the will of the voters.
It’s not only Trump who is against Democracy, it’s just that Biden and his minions use different, less in-your-face methods to disenfranchise the power of the vote.
