U.S. Taxpayers File Historic Legal Complaint in DC on May 14, Charging the U.S. Government with Complicity in Genocide
Taxpayers from Both Coasts and in-between Converge in DC
“We are filing this complaint at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights because the U.S. government has effectively shielded itself from accountability for its international crimes under its own legal system, even for crimes against humanity and genocide.” -- Huwaida Arraf, lead attorney and also one of the founders of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition
On Wednesday, May 14, Taxpayers Against Genocide (TAG) and the National Lawyers Guild International Committee filed a legal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) against the U.S. government for complicity in genocide in Gaza. The lawsuit includes notarized affidavits by Palestinian-American plaintiffs who have lost loved ones to the U.S.-funded genocide. One plaintiff, Monadel Herzallah, has lost 43 family members. He states: “We as Palestinians in the U.S. have sought accountability in federal court but we also made a pledge to seek justice in any other possible venue available.” In the words of Susan Abulhawa, Palestinian human rights activist, best selling author, and the lead petitioner in this complaint: “I want to do everything in my power to put a stop to the unfathomable horrors that I witnessed in Gaza.”
