Should Biden be tried for genocide crimes? | The Chris Hedges Report
Israel has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians over the past 5 months of its genocide in Gaza, including more than 13,000 children. The Israeli bombing campaign has wiped hospitals, universities, primary schools, and other critical infrastructure off the map, not even sparing tent cities in Rafah where over a million displaced people have fled to. Through it all, the Biden administration has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel, supplying the funds and arms required for Israel's extermination campaign to continue. As international legal action against Israel and its allies mounts, the question has arisen of whether and how the US and its leaders ought to be brought to justice. A recently appealed lawsuit from the Center for Constitutional Rights, filed on behalf of Palestinian human rights organization Defense for Children Palestine, sought to do just that. Plaintiff Ayman Nijim and CCR Senior Staff Attorney Katherine Gallagher join The Chris Hedges Report to discuss their recent lawsuit and the possibility of a genocide crimes case against President Biden.

YES Biden and his admin should be held responsible ABSOLUTELY!!
Not only them they’re family to have some responsibility for this war crimes
Short answer - yes. Long answer - hell yes.
Certainly, He should be held accountable for all the innocent lives killed by his weapons in Gaza.
Hold israel accountable first 🥇
They can no longer claim to be holocaust victims, but rather, perpetrators.
Kinda been thinking about that ? Info out there seek and you shall find
Amen 🙏🏼 as the world turns.
The world is no longer fooled by the holocaust sympathy card Those countries ,almost all have holocaust museums. These museums are now worthless Perhaps even over exaggerated
You can no longer claim to have a brain or be capable of independent thought.
@@matildamarmaduke1096 Ooooh, that's deep. Like a tunnel.
Of course they should be put on trial!
Mr g j biden first
Not gonna happen. You forgot A!PAC owns everything in america.
By whom?
Qn - should Biden by tried for war crimes? Ans - Only if the name fits - 🤔 Genocide Joe
@@bobhope5114 ICJ court
They need to be held accountable
Yes and Trump his own for having investments in Palestine real estate - putting Profit before the lives of thousands. This US obscenity will never be forgotten
AGREED HAMAS DO NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
I KNOW you don't mean Hamas... unlike the two trolls in this thread above me who, typically, want to blame their victim, because blaming the victim is the most essential part of ANY scapegoat ritual! And I agree... if International Law is to mean ANYTHING AT ALL, then both Israel and her accomplices MUST be held accountable... and that includes Richie Sunak in the UK and Turdeau in Canada, too! Of course, International Law doesn't mean anything to the obviously Zionist trolls... after all, that's 'Goyim' law, isn't it? So they'll say it doesn't apply to them... they're 'Chosen Ones'! (Really, they're just self-chosen R-souls!)

Enough to want peace? Or you still willing to fight for more?
If they have all these humanitarian laws, then why aren't they being enforced? The laws seem meaningless if no one enforces them.
Yes this is true. We must also try the judiciary for their crimes, in service to their criminal class!!!
For all the children that have died in Gaza. ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely ALL leaders complicit with this genocide MUST BE HEKD ACCOUNTABLE
Yes they should but absolutely will not be
Agree Democrats such as Jefferies, Kamala, Pelosi, etc. share the guilt
Held accountable by whom ?
Hopefully by the Global south but unfortunately it will probably be engineered to take a few hundred years so good luck with that.
By whom? All these leaders you speak of work together to fulfill the agenda given to them by the evil lying psychopaths that rule this world.
Chris Hedges has such a gravitas and and air of respect. I love his work and his humanity.
Agree all Nations & their alliance should be held accountable for the Genocide happening in Palestin.
He should be on trial for war crimes I believe
You should watch some documentaries on genocide. Armenian, Bengali, Assyrian. Watch and compare.
No international court has jurisdiction over the US
@@peaknonsense2041those "International courts " should be dismantled then

Wow bobo, sounds like ur angeling a bit!!🤨🤨🤨
Of course its in your names. IF ur American. Mine too! The rest of the world judges the countries people by their gvmts actions. U all better learn it and change your gvmt if you dont like what they r doing! Sick and sad but true!
1. What's the point of laws that the courts refuse to honor and enforce? 2. Why is humanity ALWAYS so effing slow to do something, ANYTHING to protect innocent women and children?????
Exactly! The Genocide Convention and the UN (probably other organizations as well) were established following the Holocaust to prevent it from ever happening again. Every single mode of prevention has been ignored or abused. When millions and millions of civilians around the world as well as the majority of other countries are all screaming, and have been screaming, this needs to stop! Yet here we are with a handful of people who have the power to do this to others. It’s truly unbelievable.
Suddenley women are different to men?
Because the system is designed that way. Our governments understand this, which allows Joe and bibi to construct the timeline we are experiencing now. This was absolutely a jointly planned genocide. Think how much time the world spent arguing about beheaded babies, systematic sexual violence, and command centers under hospitals. This crap keeps working on a population with the memory of a goldfish, despite the fact that the exact same lies are used in every imperial war we start. A rational adult should recognize these stories as most likely lies (and probably projection) and refuse to be distracted by them.

I can’t imagine the hell he’s living terrified for his family in Gaza and guilty for having what he has. Thanks to both of your guests
Netanyahu is not only responsible for letting the initial attack happen but then the overwhelming destruction and murder of all the innocent people in Gaza. All countries who are allowing these war crimes to happen and continue, need to be held accountable.
I cant imagine a question with a more obvious answer. The problem is there is no justice when the people commiting the crimes also run the courts.
...and the elections?
@@thedroidish The problem is there is no justice when the people committing the crimes -also run the courts.- are the ruling class. Elections don't have to be "rigged." They're always rigged by nature of bourgeois dictatorship.
The Hague is a bit different
correct
Yes this is true. We must also try the judiciary for their crimes, in service to their criminal class!!!
Absolutely yes! So should Blinken, Austin, kirby,,,so should half of cngress both republicans and democrats.
And Kushner
So should Sunak and MP's.
99.9 % of them are corrupt and owned by A I P A C.
They are selling Gaza Property at a Synogogue in Canada, according to a Non-Zio Rabbi. I wonder now how many Synogogues are Selling STOLEN Land of Palestinians.
Miley mouse.
SO SAD, I've tried since the 70s to speak about child abuse at "home". The vulnerable truth teller was criminalized and the Abusers in "authority" were excused and enabled. There's Been NO protection for children in my Entire LIFE in the US. Instead, it's been, "How dare you expose the Abusers."
It's hard to kick against the powerful, wealthy ones tilting the playing field always in their favor. Always more. They care not who is maimed or merked in the quest for more wealth and power. But give up? No way.
Same in the UK. We must stop them in our time or they will own all our children!
Free Palestine and then free the world 🌍 🌎 from the same evil oppressors! Peace ✌️ out !

Never again. They have lost the right to lecture anyone on Human Rights.

@@TheOpenSociety777 I am gay myself. The idea that, upon hearing that gay rights aren't what they are in the West, would make me turn around and say 'Oh really? Well in that case let's genocide them all I guess' is absurd. We are not perfect either, and no group of people deserve genocide for opinions of individuals within the group. You realise these women you're concerned about, and the LGBTQI people you're worried about, are also being genocided in Gaza right now?
@@TheOpenSociety777 Are they being literally killed in a genocide?
@@davidrichards1741 so it's okay to kill and oppress people as long as it's not on a genocide level????? That's not very liberal minded of you.

Of course he should. Along with Blinken.
Guilty
Biden should be held accountable and not allowed to run for reelection IMO
He very likely will lose this election. There is no winning for us. If he wins without the Arab vote, Democrats will never count us in again and if he loses, we get Mr. final solution himself - Donald Trump.
Exactly who will vote for a candidate who supports apartheid???

THANK YOU GUYS FOR STANDING UP FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.LOVE YOU GUYS.
Supplying weapons to a genocide is a little more than complicity. Seems like direct involvement.
Agreed 💯
Definitely enabling , aid and abetting it’s the worst.
Unequivocally he should, right along with Blinken, Matt Miller, John Kirby, and Jake Sullivan.
I don’t know how I would charge Jared Kushner- but he needs to tried. He has shown that he has abandoned being Human- a long time ago…
chuck schumer too...evil
😢😢😢😢😢 Thanks for the Real Journalism 🙏

Who is selling tents for US$500? Who is profiteering and how?
The wardens of the open air prison known as Gaza denied the necessities of life, such as food, water, electricity, and gas to the already besieged and oppressed citizens as a deliberate act of genocide.
Before I listen, let me state: ABSOLUTELY!!! In fact, if we had a loyal, unbought Congress, the Impeachment process would have resulted in a guilty verdict by now - the transgressions are that clear and well-documented.
Yes he is guilty Biden said himself I am Zionist
And still there sending arms even when there’s a plausible Genocide. 😮
Exactly
Biden must step aside in the interest of democracy.
But one can expect no better from Trump. Do not forget he was the one who gave the go-ahead for the massive settlement expansion, stealing of mire and more Palestinian land, evictions, destruction of houses, roads, infrastructure. Virtual takeover of Jerusalem with his embassy transfer. And remember who his backers are! The CV ongress and Senate are paid servants of Israel, Republican or Democrat. only chance of change is independent president, independent Reps. The average American does not seem capable of voting for change..!
And remember the words of Trump's son-in-law..."nothing much left in Gaza" "a bit unfortunate what is happening there but..."great real estate. ....development opportunities...One has to wonder was that part of a deal when Trump okayed settlement to grow exponentially in West Bank. ????
Oh maybe if he just gave back his stolen office everything would just go away and America would be ok,.... right!?
He should be jailed
WHERE IS DEMOCRACY ? Certainly not in USA, which is run by MONEY power & GOONS power. (Elites n Mil Ind Cplx)
Biden, Blinken, and the rest.

Unequivocal YES!
It's an assault on humanity.
It's a total lie.
@@FaerieSidhe What? You're a total lie? Or you're saying I shouldn't believe my lying eyes? Either way, don't be stupid.
@@RockstarWreckerProductions There are examples of genocide throughout history and you should study them. Recent ones.

Israel is losing the propaganda war to Palestine game is over
This morning on Democracy Now, I heard that Israeli Soldiers forced Doctors and Journalists to strip naked while Palestinians were murdered in their midst. After hearing this point of fact, I tried to go back and listen again, disbelieving my ears. It was present, but when I returned to the beginning of today's report, that section had been removed. To me, dehumanizing Doctors and Journalists to prevent them from working is nothing but sadistic. And certainly killing for no reason is sadistic. It seems that Israeli Soldiers enjoy their work. @cdf3141
And how many discussions are silenced. This is a war against the american peoples rights... 5 years from now, they plan to hafe our country destroyed
@@bellakrinkle9381 only figured it out now?
To be honest if the US continues to back them, then it won’t matter and the genocide outcome will continue. This to me sets a precedence for what the ruling elite are willing to do anywhere to settled populations on assets they wish to seize whether it’s through lethal force, financial force, etc.
Sadly, the super bully USA supports Israel so the game is long from over.
Listening to this gentleman makes my heart explode with sadness & anger, this is how I’ve felt everyday with this genocide, it’s the first one live-streamed in history & the criminals are telling us to stfu or don’t believe your lying eyes
MY LOVE GOES OUT TO THE PALESTINE PAOPLE.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) should also be a defendant, they are fueling all of the activity.
A lot of people wrote in "Gaza" for the Write In slot on the Illinois Democrat Primary ballots. SOLID
I responded to a text poll - "uncommitted". I was immediately put on their "do not contact" list.
@@andrew_owens7680that might help explain polling results showing approval ratings for genocide Joe around 30%. I can't imagine the real number being greater than 5%.
Every political letter with an envelope that arrives here gets that answer. No money. Only the words ceasefire end this horror NOW.
The democrats are not only helping the destruction in Gaza but also the US. Although I condemn Hamas for what they did, innocent children are dying. How can you kill a child and say you have a heart. I pray Trump can become President. But I am afraid with the long awaited WEF’s plan for complete control in 2030 will come if we don’t turn our lives to God. I never realized how many people were atheist and just downright evil. Pray we may soon have peace all over the world. 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Never before in human history have we witnessed hate as extreme as the Israeli people are demonstrating today. Non of the other genocides were so blatantly and openly cheered on by the populace of the country.
Should he be tried? Absolutely, will he be tried? Absolutely not
There are some powerful prosecutors out there. Plenty of evidence as in sending money and weapons. Plus statements made and their speeches at the UN. Seize all computers and phones before anything deleted. It could be done. It MUST be done. No-one above the law.

History will judge and all guilty parties will forever be noted.
Depends on who is writing the history
Everyone directly involved with carrying it out or profiting from it will probably be long gone by then. But yeah.
Hmm, I wonder if a mother in Gaza, whose home just collapsed on top of her kids, cares whether the attack was technically a Genocide or not? Let's just agree that it's horrible and needs to be stopped immediately rather than all these useless talks.
I think that there may be a point to that perception, in terms of immediate action. However, criminal convictions of individuals, who can be identified as the most responsible, removes them from being able to hold future positions of trust and sets an example to other world leaders, that criminal leadership is not tolerated. I believe that such convictions can go a long way to reducing the chances of such horror from happening again.
Yes he SHOULD! NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
Of course he NEED to be held accountable...he is a mass murderer
