While President Joe Biden recently said that “no one is above the law”, in response to guilty verdicts in former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, his administration is seemingly committed to shielding Israel from accountability at any cost - even if that means tearing apart the rules-based international order.
Biden has so far not only refused to support the ongoing case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), but he has actively rejected the preliminary findings of the World Court determining that Israel is “plausibly” committing genocide.
On 10 June, an appellate court in San Francisco will have the opportunity to demonstrate that indeed no one, including the president of the United States, is above the law.
The Center for Constitutional Rights, representing plaintiffs Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCI-P), Al-Haq, Palestinians in Gaza and Palestinian Americans, will ask a panel of judges to reconsider the district court’s decision to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to stop the US government from transferring more weapons to Israel during an ongoing genocide.
OK, but that’s not what this is. Not even close.
And Trump wasn’t convicted for bribing a porn star to not tell the embarrassing story of their tryst. He was convicted of engaging in fraud to hide the payments. That’s the sort of casual attitude towards the law that makes him unfit for office.
I’ll grant you that Biden’s support for Bibi makes it difficult to support him, but Trump is an even stronger supporter of Netanyahu, and would be far worse for the Palestinian people.
Yes hiding payments for pornstar bribes is significantly worse than being complicit in Genocide.
Not remotely what they said.
You, sir, debate in bad faith and should be shunned for the troll you are. You, sir, may fuck off.
You say that like Trump isn’t complicit in genocide.
1 million Americans.
Actually, more than 1 million Americans died because Trump took the pandemic playbook written by Obama and threw it out the window and refused to follow any of the protocols.
We don’t know how many lives it would have saved but it would have saved many more likely than not.
Israel is committing a religious and greed-based genocide.
Trump committed one just out of pure spiteful racism.
It’s also important to realize that if Trump were currently the president it’s likely we’d be sending even more support to Isreal to enact genocide.
And how many have died after Biden took the Ron DeSantis approach to COVID control and stopped testing, stopped counting new infections, push herd immunity, and open everything back up?
This right here is CLEAR evidence that you’re here in bad faith to support Trump.
Because the rest of the world knows that trumps crimes amount to FAR more than payments to a porn star, and the mere suggestion that you’d compare this with being “complicit in genocide” shows plainly what your intentions here are.
