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.”
You can abhor trump will simultaneously thinking that there’s genocide happening that Biden is supporting. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
“You can damage Biden while simultaneously helping Trump.” FTFY
Biden in no way supports it, has used what pull he’s got to try and stop it, got the ceasefire that did happen, and is continuing to call for and attempting to bring about a solution to the issue. So, yes, they are mutually exclusive. You are hurting the chances of anything beneficial happening while simultaneously increasing the chances of making things worse.
“Biden in no way supports it”
This is a flat out lie and you should be ashamed of yourself for typing it. If there is ONE THING Biden has made ABSOLUTELY CLEAR since October, it’s that he will protect Israel with any means necessary.
It’s no wonder people don’t take liberals like you seriously, you’re a fucking brain dead idiot.
People who support genocide for its own sake aren’t known to balk at dishonesty.

Stamp your feet all you like but all evidence is to the contrary. You are simply mad Biden can’t wave a magic wand and make the slaughter stop.
The evidence that he’s for genocide: He sells weapons for the purpose when he doesn’t have to.
The evidence he’s against it: “Trust us, guys. He’s totally working behind the scenes!”
Are you kidding me? He can end it with a phone call to Bibi. In fact he can order his just-offshore aircraft carriers to enforce a no fly zone over Gaza.
Proven false and were he stupid enough to listen to your idiocy it would assure his loss in Nov.
Biden didn’t have to circumvent Congress to sell them weapons for the genocide you support.
No one was clamoring for him to do that, and no one would have blamed him if he didn’t.
Mother fucking RONALD FUCKING REAGAN did more to reign in Israel than Biden has. He absolutely supports it, or he would have done more. Sending them weapons while saying, “be careful” isn’t using any pull to try to stop it. The Israelis are going on tv and saying Biden is dumb and they’re using him, and he still fucking sends them weapons.
The political situation is in no way similar to what Ronnie “where’s my brain?” Raygun. As well as your claims being pure bullshit, the options available to Biden are all losing bullshit. If he cuts support to Israel he gets slaughtered in the media and loses many times more Votes than could possibly be gained by adhering to the idiocy you are demanding.
