In December 2023, residents of Gaza and two nongovernmental human rights organizations filed a lawsuit in a federal court in California arguing that the US federal government has violated the 1948 Genocide Convention by failing to intervene in Israel’s recent actions in Gaza. In their Left and the Law segment, Jan Haaken and Mike Snedeker talk about this case as well as the recent interim ruling by the International Court of Justice in South Africa’s case charging Israel with genocide. Jan and Mike discuss the political and legal implications of the two cases in the international struggle for Palestinian justice.
