A federal court in California has ruled that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza “plausibly” amounts to genocide, but dismissed a case aimed at stopping US military support for Israel as being outside the court’s jurisdiction.
“There are rare cases in which the preferred outcome is inaccessible to the court. This is one of those cases,” the US district court in the northern district of California ruled. “The court is bound by precedent and the division of our coordinate branches of government to abstain from exercising jurisdiction in this matter.
“Yet, as the ICJ [the international court of justice] has found, it is plausible that Israel’s conduct amounts to genocide,” the judge in the case, Jeffrey White, said in his ruling, in a case brought by Palestinian human rights groups and individual Palestinians against President Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, the secretary of state, and Lloyd Austin, the defence secretary.
You dismiss the court explicitly stating that israel is committing Genocide as “one line in a ruling”?
I guess they didn’t say it was Genocide… if you just ignore the fact that they said it is Genocide!
The Californian ruling added multiple comments which were not stated by the ICJ and explicitly said they had to dismiss it because it was outside of their jurisdiction. You’re welcome to read the case it’s linked down below.
You do not understand what the word “plausible” means.
They didn’t say plausible they said indicates. You didn’t even bother reading the comment.
I didn’t read their comment because it is made up mumbo jumbo. I read the article which states: “Yet, as the ICJ [the international court of justice] has found, it is plausible that Israel’s conduct amounts to genocide,”
Which is just an acknowledgement that there is a proceeding in the ICJ.
