ICJ just ruled that there is a probable case for genocide in Gaza, and there is clear evidence that US has been aiding and abetting this genocide since the start. US has vetoed multiple ceasefire resolution at the UN, and has provided Israel with the material aid to carry out the genocide. The only reason nobody in US will be held accountable for these atrocities is because US regime sees itself as being above international law. This is why a civil case is because there is no path to any actual justice.
But "charged"? Come on. That's clearly trying to obfuscate that it's a private lawsuit.
The article is pretty clear about the nature of the lawsuit. Using the word charged here is entirely reasonable. It's amazing that you spent so much energy debating an entirely irrelevant point while ignoring the actual context of Joe Biden aiding and abetting a genocide, or the fact that there is no path towards holding him accountable. That seems like the part that's actually worth discussing.
Can you believe I even read the lawsuit?! Crazy, I know!
The only thing that's crazy here is that you're evidently unable to say anything of substance on Tue subject.
The irony is almost palpable.
That word you're using, I do not think it means what you think it means. Although, I suppose there is a certain irony in you making vacuous comments while evidently fancying yourself an intellectual.
The irony is that you're the one failing to bring anything of substance to the discussion. For example, comments consisting solely of insults.
I'll let you get in the last word.
