3/08/2024 – SAN FRANCISCO – Our friends at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) have filed an appeal on behalf of Palestinian human rights organizations and Palestinian-Americans against President Biden and other high-level U.S. administration officials to end U.S. support for Israeli military attacks.
As Pam Spees, a senior staff attorney at the CCR, argued: “Defendants Biden, Blinken, and Austin, have chosen to disregard numerous warnings by international experts, and even two court rulings – a federal court in the U.S. and the International Court of Justice – that Israel is plausibly committing a genocide… Despite all of these warnings, and despite the horrors unfolding for the world to see, they have continued to rush weapons and diplomatic assistance to Israel as it carries out this genocidal assault. Our courts must not shy away from their duty to ensure that even our highest officials are answerable to the law – not least a law intended to prevent the killing and destruction of an entire people.”
