Requests court to ban U.S. weapons, funds, and diplomatic support to Israel

According to reports, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), a New York-based human rights group, filed a complaint on behalf of Palestinian groups, claiming that Israel’s actions, including attacks targeting civilian infrastructure and forced deportations, amount to genocide. .
CCR said the International Convention on Genocide, established in 1948, requires countries including the United States to exercise power and influence to prevent it.
“As Israel’s strongest ally and supporter, its largest provider of military aid, and its largest donor since World War II, the United States has the means to deter Israeli officials from carrying out genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” CCR said in the complaint. “There is,” he said.
The complaint, filed in federal court in California, asks the court to ban the United States from providing weapons, funding and diplomatic support to Israel. They are also demanding that President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin take all measures within their authority to prevent the genocide committed by Israel against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. These included pressuring Israel to end its bombing of the Gaza Strip, lifting the siege on the territory, and prohibiting the forced expulsion of Palestinians.
CCR led to the historic 2004 Supreme Court ruling that guaranteed the basic rights of Guantanamo Bay detainees.

Additionally, more than 11,000 Palestinians, including 4,600 children, were killed in the Gaza Strip, and 1.5 million people were displaced.
