More than half a dozen groups representing human rights organisations, former diplomats, and activists have filed briefs urging a US federal court to rehear a case alleging the Biden administration is complicit in genocide in Gaza.
In February, a US federal judge in Oakland, California, dismissed a lawsuit accusing the Biden administration of failing to prevent a genocide in Gaza,** saying that the court did not have jurisdiction over the issue**. The ruling was a legal blow to Palestinian plaintiffs’ who are either in Gaza or have family members there.
The amicus curiae briefs were filed on Monday and argue that the court should review its decision not to weigh in on whether the US president’s action violates the law when engaging in foreign policy.
“The Panel’s decision is one of profound importance, doing serious damage to Congress and the Judiciary, the rule of law, and the United States’ credibility in the world,” one brief filed by former US intelligence officers and diplomats said.
"US statutes prohibit committing or assisting genocide and mass atrocities, mankind’s worst crime”.
Blaming the people responsible for it does tend to be very inconvenient when the people responsible for it are Democrats.
Do you think I should be mad at Trump for Biden bypassing congress to send weapons to israel? Is it Trumps fault Biden lies about israel complying with international law? Should Donald Trump invode Leahy Law?
One of us has certainly misplaced their blame.
Removed by mod
Yes it is Bidens fault entirely.
The one person head responsible for the Genocide is not Netanyahu but Joe Biden. no matter how much you want to deny it.
Israel would and could do the Genocide without Netanyahu. They have tried many times in the past until their weapons supplier told them to cut it off
Yes, famous Democrat Benjamin Netanyahu who totally wouldn’t do this without US support.
Yes israeli officers have admitted that it would be impossible to do the Genocide without Genocide Joe.
