A group of 21 California residents has filed a federal lawsuit against Democratic Reps. Mike Thompson and Jared Huffman, accusing them of violating international law and the U.S. Constitution by voting in favor of military aid to Israel, according to the Jewish News Syndicate.
The lawsuit, filed on December 19 in a federal court in San Francisco, alleges that Thompson and Huffman’s April 2024 votes for the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act were unlawful due to Israel’s actions in Gaza, which the plaintiffs describe as “genocide.”
The contested vote saw 366 members of Congress approve the aid package, with only 58 voting against it. The plaintiffs argue that by supporting the bill, Thompson and Huffman “exceeded the constitutional limitations on their tax and spend authority” and became complicit in actions that violate both customary international law and federal law prohibiting genocide.
The lawsuit references South Africa’s attempt to charge Israel with genocide at the International Court of Justice, as well as statements by Amnesty International and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese (a known antisemite), to support its claims.

While frivolous lawsuits are not legal, I would ask why there isn’t a copycat lawsuit filed against those who allowed unrwa to be re-funded? And many more.
This lawsuit has no merit and is only meant for publicity clickbait which you all fell for
The sole purpose of this “law suit” is to push the pallyweid fake “genocide” orchestrated by self infected via human shields tactics – eath cult.

This post doesn’t tell the full story. All legal minds recognize that the lawsuit can go nowhere due to the fact that elected officials in congress have immunity for their votes. Interestingly, though, these 21 California screwballs (redundant) are also suing for their associated legal costs, which there really is no chance to recover, even if the likely “progressive” judge lets the suit go forward, since at some appeal level it will be quashed. So they must be serious antisemites, as well as seriously nuts.
These cockroaches, these vermin can demand “
all they want these
leftist American hating Jew,
hating Israel, hating pieces of trash. Well I hope I read about their obituaries soon. Evil.
They should read the Torah.
I will bless those who bless Israel I will curse those who curse Israel.
I agree with ‘jpa’, it’s about promoting the pallyweid fake G slur.. about the self inflicted human shields death cult palestine.
