Palestinian Families Sue US Government Over Military Aid to Israel
Channel News Asia ^ | 18 Dec 2024

Posted on 12/17/2024 11:34:05 PM PST by nickcarraway

Five Palestinian families on Tuesday (Dec 17) sued the State Department over Washington's billions in military aid to Israel, demanding the enforcement of US rules to curb arms flows due to allegations of human rights abuses.

The complaint, filed on Tuesday and to which the State Department has 60 days to respond, calls for the implementation of the so-called Leahy Law, which the plaintiffs and rights group say Israel has been illegally exempted from. The law prohibits the provision of security assistance to units facing credible allegations of human rights abuses.

Since the start of Israel's war against Hamas in October 2023, the United States has enacted legislation to provide more than US$12.5 billion in direct military aid to its strategic ally.

US citizens, filing as taxpayers, have beaucoup problems establishing standing in such cases. I doubt these folks will fare any better.

But it does make me wonder if the Democrats and their allies will lodge a ton of these suits that will span the transition. Perhaps their purpose is to logjam the incoming Trump Administration.

Awwwww...can we hear a big awwwww on behalf of the palescumians claiming their human rights were violated? Only nitwits and gullible fools would believe such outrageous charges. I guess the Israeli babies who were cut out of the womb and killed, the babies roasted in ovens, the babies killed in front of their parents, the Israeli women raped and murdered, the Israeli men murdered, that did not violate the human rights of the Israelis, huh? I would spit in the faces of the accusers of these ridiculous charges and tell them not to insult the memory of those they killed nor my intelligence.

Let’s just say the truth: The “Palestinians” “allies” are there worst enemies. The best thing “Palestinians” could do for themselves is just become part of Israeli society. They have far more to gain from Israel than any other country in the Middle East. Whether, you are Jewish, Muslim, whatever, you have more rights in Israel than all the countries in that area.

The Israelis don't want the Palestinians to be a part of Israeli society. They're very conscious of the Jew/Arab-Muslim ratio in their country. If the balance gets too equal, Jews will have to fight another war against Arabs for independence again.

Maybe the Jews should sue the PALEOstinians for:

All the murder, rape, havoc, savagery, incitement, terror (big one), being allied with Adolf Hitler, bus bombs, knife attacks, abductions, eating dead Jews’ organs after attacks, murder in airports, murder in the streets, murder in cafes, murder on airlines, hijackings on planes and yachts, murder of Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972, starting the 1948, 1973, 1982 wars, cross-border attacks from Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, the Mediterranean sea, mutilating the dead, abducting dead bodies, etc. ad infinatum.

The “Palestinian refugees” are neither Palestinian nor refugees.

What language did ancestral Palestinians speak? Who was their King? What were the ancient borders of the Palestinian kingdom?

Oh wait…they’ve never had any of those things. They’re squatting Arabs!
