2024-02-02 US Court Rules Israel’s Assault on Gaza is Plausible Case of Genocide A US federal judge has acknowledged the government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, calling on President Joe Biden to reconsider his position, while simultaneously dismissing the case due to lack of jurisdiction. In November, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) filed a federal lawsuit against President Biden, Defence Secretary, Lloyd Austin, and Secretary of State, Antony Blinken. The CCR sought an injunction that would halt any additional US military aid or diplomatic support to Israel during its ongoing war on the Gaza Strip, reports the Middle-East Monitor (Memo).
To support its case, the lawsuit also presented statements from Israeli officials proving “intent to destroy the Palestinian people in Gaza, including using dehumanizing descriptions, which is frequently associated with genocidal and persecutory campaigns.” The lawsuit was filed on behalf of aid groups, Defense for Children International – Palestine and Al-Haq, as well as Dr. Omar Al-Najjar – operating in southern Gaza’s Rafah area – and plaintiffs with families in Gaza who have suffered displacement or deaths of loved ones during Israel’s bombardment of the enclave. https://www.palestinechronicle.com/us-court-rules-israels-assault-on-gaza-is-plausible-case-of-genocide/
