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.”

    Only thing any of it can accomplish is another R abusing their power to make things worse. That is why you are getting called one of pootie’s shrubs. I’m sure the pride you get from being a useful idiot to pootie and bibi shall power your indignation to continue to blame Biden for having failed to abuse his power.

      “we have to do more genocide, anyone who disagrees is a subhuman trump supporter”

      You sound unhinged.

        Only thing unhinged is your pretense at comprehension.
        You shouldn’t have demanded Biden nuke Israel from orbit if you wanted to be taken seriously.
        (what’s that? You don’t like when others lie about what you posted? Well, perhaps consider that before you lie about other’s posts.)

            what’s that? You’ve no leg to stand on and thus can’t stamp you feet in anger? Yeah, that is what happens when you post baseless and pointless shit about serious subjects. Learn from your mistakes and get informed before posting if you don’t wish to be called out on your bullshit.

        When dealing with bullies the best choice is to mock the tiny little men they are. Question would be why, especially in this thread so very filled with Russian driven misinformation, would it offend you so for me to mock the tiny little ego of lil’ Dic. Pootie?
