A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit by Palestinian Americans who sought to force the White House to withdraw support for Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, as was widely expected based on constitutional precedent that only the political branches of U.S. government could determine foreign policy.
But, unexpectedly, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White indicated that he would have preferred to have issued the injunction were he not limited by the Constitution, and he implored the Biden administration to “examine the results of their unflagging support” of Israel.
The determination came five days after a hearing in Oakland, Calif., in which Judge White allowed the head of a humanitarian group, a medical intern and three Palestinian Americans with relatives in Gaza to tell the court that their loved ones were being slaughtered. They alleged that the U.S. government has underwritten a genocide by backing Israel’s military response to the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.
it’s a complex situation… we are trying to stop the conflict from spreading, while Iran, China and Russia are doing the opposite… the fascists in Israel are taking advantage of the situation… it’s a tough, tense situation and Americans are already dying… we have multiple carrier groups in the area… NATO is kicking off a 90,000 troop exercise right next to an active conflict…
the people doing fake protesting in this country should be hanged as spies
