Miranda Cleland | An upcoming appeal in San Francisco will argue that the president's policies are fuelling Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people | It is no secret that the Israeli military is carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. At the human rights organisation where I work, Defense for Children International - Palestine, I’ve analysed and reported on more first-hand accounts of Palestinian child killings, injuries, arrests and torture than I can count. ■ People around the world have seen for themselves the gut-wrenching images of charred Palestinian children’s bodies on social media; heard Israeli leaders spell out their intentions to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza; and from where I live in Washington, DC, witnessed the Biden administration continue to diplomatically support and send weapons to Israel with abandon. ■ While President Joe Biden recently said that “no one is above the law”, in response to guilty verdicts in former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, his administration is seemingly committed to shielding Israel from accountability at any cost - even if that means tearing apart the rules-based international order. Biden has so far not only refused to support the ongoing case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), but he has actively rejected the preliminary findings of the World Court determining that Israel is “plausibly” committing genocide.
