A Legal Challenge to U.S. Complicity in Israel’s Unfolding Genocide

FEATURING LAILA ELHADDAD - In spite of a pause in Israel’s assault on Gaza, there is a legal case being made that the U.S. is complicit in enabling Israeli genocide against Palestinians. According to a new lawsuit filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights, “The United States is not only failing to uphold its obligation to prevent the commission of genocide, but there is a plausible and credible case to be made that the United States’ actions to further the Israeli military operation, closure, and campaign against the Palestinian population in Gaza, rise to the level of complicity in the crime under international law.” The U.S. sends Israel billions in weapons each year and President Joe Biden’s administration has been an enthusiastic supporter of this decades-long trend.
