In late December, 77 groups — representing tens of thousands of lawyers, civil society leaders, and activists from six continents — filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit that Palestinian human rights organizations, residents of Gaza, and U.S. citizens with family members impacted by Israel’s ongoing assault brought against the Biden administration.
According to Law for Palestine, a human rights and legal advocacy organization, there have been at least 500 instances of Israeli lawmakers, officials, and officers inciting genocide.
Sourani said that the statements by Israeli officials, along with the actual blockade, the indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian buildings, the basic lack of safe space, and the mass displacement of millions of Palestinians makes it clear: “All of this is tantamount to genocide.”
The plaintiffs responded to the administration’s motion to dismiss on December 22, arguing that there is precedent for U.S. courts to adjudicate questions surrounding genocide and that their legal challenge is about more than the actions of a foreign state. Rather, the plaintiffs argued, their injuries are “fairly traceable” to the actions of the U.S. government. “The suggestion that the U.S. does not or cannot influence Israel borders on the absurd, not least because the Israeli government acknowledges its actions could not happen without U.S. license and support, and Defendants have boasted about their coordination with and influence over Israel,” the plaintiffs wrote.
Conservatives should really be running with this. It’s such an easy win for them. They get a genocide to satisfy their bloodlust AND they get to blame it on their enemy.
They could use it for their impeachment attempt and they could even demand he be arrested and tried in the Hague. Thankfully, conservatives are stupid as fuck and can’t see the easy points.
Yeah but they hate brown people
They also hate whites that aren’t the “correct” type of white. Ukrainians are “relatively civilized and relatively european”, for instance.
They don’t like Ukranians because Russia doesn’t like Ukraine. It’s not a racial thing.
Man you can’t win as president sometimes. He doesn’t sell weapons to Saudis for houthi shit but sells to a country defending itself and he’s getting accused of genocide. Absolutely bonkers world we live in
“Defending itself” is a very generous description of what Israel is doing.
Israel aim to take down Hamas, not intentional destruction of Palestinians.
If Israel were to aim for a genocide, you’d see hundreds of thousands deaths and anti-Palestinian racist protests.
Israel doesn’t need excuses when it comes to take down Hamas enemy.
That must be why they dropped all those 2000 lb bombs all over south Gaza after they urged civilians to go there for safety. And why things are escalating in the West Bank, where Hamas isn’t.

Provide source please
And why things are escalating in the West Bank, where Hamas isn’t.
Hamas has much less military power in the West Bank because there was always Palestinian civil control and joint Israeli-Palestinian security control
This is unfortunate.
It’s important to note that both sides suffer.
In 2023 only, Israel was attacked with more than 11,096 rockets (meaning ~30 rockets per day, whole year). Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel_in_2023
Makes sense.
