Media coverage of the California lawsuit over President Joe Biden's administration's aid to Israel has left out a key element: The coalition filing the lawsuit is led by pro-Hamas extremists..
inside hearing The coalition, before the U.S. District of Northern District of California, accused the Biden administration of violating domestic and international law by supporting Israel. The individual plaintiffs claim they are eligible because they live in Gaza or have family members there who have been adversely affected by Israel's military operations against the terrorist group Hamas.
Constitutional Rights Center
Plaintiffs, International Defense for Children – Palestine vs. Biden It is represented by Constitutional Rights Center (CCR), a far-left organization. On October 7, when Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis, the CCR rushed to Hamas' defense. statement It appears to have adopted Hamas's view that Israeli civilians are also entitled to it, justifying the “armed resistance of Palestinians from Gaza” against Israeli “military objectives.”
Notably, the statement carefully avoided any overtones of criticism of Hamas or its actions, which clearly violate international law.
International Defense for Children – Palestine
Defense for Children in Palestine International (DCIP) Was one of six organizations designated as a terrorist organization by Israel in October 2021 Regarding involvement with Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) A terrorist organization that is an ally of Hamas.
nevertheless of guardian report The CIA has failed to substantiate Israel's claims against six organizations, a wealth of information has been released evidence For each. DCIP Link Up to PFLP is particularly well documented. Even if his DCIP's substantial support for the PFLP is challenged, its pro-terrorist extremism cannot be challenged.
alhak
One of the plaintiffs represented by CCR is Al-Haq, a Palestinian human rights organization based in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Mr. Alhak coverage Researchers on the fighting in Gaza call Hamas's October 7 atrocity a “military attack carried out by Palestinian factions in self-defense.”the statement The day after the massacre, he justified Hamas' actions and expressed no opposition to Hamas's human rights violations in Israel.
In 2021, Israel designated Al-Haq, DCIP, and four other organizations as terrorist organizations due to their ties to the PFLP. Shawan Jabarin, general director of al-Haq, is accused of being a member of the PFLP. Jordan, which has a Muslim-majority and Palestinian-majority population, has similarly imposed a travel ban on Jabarin.
european commission reversed The decision to cut funding to al-Haq has been made, and the evidence linking it to the PFLP is as follows: very strong. This evidence was convincing enough for Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. refuse Plans to become Al-Haq's credit card processor in 2018.
Council on American-Islamic Relations
Mr. Nihad Awad, Executive Director Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), publicly praised On October 7, Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis, resulting in condemnation From the Biden White House. CAIR then completely illogical negation He denounced anti-Muslim bigots. CAIR originates from Hamas' parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, and was founded in the early 1990s as part of the Brotherhood's covert pro-Hamas operations in the United States.
Against this background, a plaintiff said, DCIP vs. Biden I am Basim Elkala, who leads CAIR's Sacramento Valley and Central California Division. California branch, which has its own record of extremism.Elcala himself advocated For dropping the charges against Rasmere Odeh. Admitted For coordinating with the PFLP the bombing of Jerusalem that killed two Israeli civilians.
During the hearing, Elcala expressed the “pain” he and his community feel at being betrayed by Biden, who “rallied” to elect him in 2020.
media misbehavior
It will likely be impossible for the media to cover this conflict in a way that satisfies both sides of the conflict, but any real attempt at impartiality would require that the case against Biden be led by an organization with a track record of supporting Hamas and the PFLP. This would include the fact that there is. This will make the reader aware of the biases and intentions of the people behind the lawsuit's accusations.
This is part of the same pattern as mine documented The organizers of the Gaza march were Hamas supporters. With a simple message of “Liberate Gaza” and “peace,” they were able to rally protesters and gain traction on social media without the protesters understanding the true purpose of their message.just might—They really need to research both sides' views before joining the movement.
Whether you are for or against Israel's Gaza operation, When accusations of “genocide'' come from sources supporting Hamas or the PFLP, they are expected. Not including that salient fact borders on media malpractice.
