In perhaps the most convincing show of self-empowerment yet observed by those outraged by the United States’ perennial and unquestioningly blind support of Zionist machinations over the past three-quarters of a century, Palestinian advocacy groups in that country have decided to take to the courts to express their outrage at being forced to continually cough up a significant portion of their hard-earned salaries to support a foreign government which engages in genocidal conduct.
As reported by Al Jazeera, an official federal complaint filed on Monday against President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken accused them of “failure to prevent and complicity in the Israeli government’s unfolding genocide.”
A New York-based civil liberties advocacy group filed the lawsuit on behalf of various Palestinian human rights organizations and at the behest of U.S. citizens with relatives in the enclave under relentless bombardment by Israel, which has received weaponry and overall aid from the U.S. government since its inception.
The parties which initiated the litigation called into question multiple—particularly far-right—Israeli leaders who have unabashedly conveyed “clear genocidal intentions” and have sought to characterize all Palestinians across the board as “human animals,” in arguing that these “statements of intent”—when combined with the “mass killing” of Palestinians—reveal genuine “evidence of an unfolding crime of genocide.”
Countless legal scholars, international rights groups, and humanitarians have also termed the current operative as genocide.
