00:00:02We're going live to the HEG, to the International Criminal Court. Let's go.
00:00:30We ask the Prosecutor to act quickly on this evidence, and we likewise call upon the Office of the Prosecutor
00:00:35to take action on the evidence that the human rights organization Don previously submitted against former President Joseph Biden and
00:00:45former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken for their roles in aiding and abetting the genocide in Palestine.
00:00:52Our submission draws on extensive evidence gathered for nearly a year by individuals and organizations now working with the Taxpayer
00:01:00Alliance Against Genocide, and it follows a recent federal court victory protecting our First Amendment right to share evidence and
00:01:09interact with the International Criminal Court and other individuals sanctioned illegally by the Trump administration, such as Special Rapporteur Francesca
00:01:16Albanese.
00:01:18The evidence includes sworn affidavits from doctors who worked in Gaza, first-hand eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, videos, and extensive
00:01:28documentation concerning U.S. political, military, diplomatic, and financial support for Israel.
00:01:35Both President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio are attempting to dismantle the International Criminal Court brick-by-brick, as
00:01:43Rubio put it, and we recognize that this is a frontal attack on international law itself.
00:01:50We have tried, through extensive litigation, to have the U.S. federal court system intervene to stop the participation of
00:01:58U.S. officials in the crime of genocide.
00:02:01The U.S. court system has proven incapable again and again and again from addressing this crime.
00:02:08Consequently, we turn to the court of last resort, the ICC, the only court in the world that can criminally
00:02:16prosecute government officials for violating the Nuremberg principles.
00:02:20It is not enough to wait for elections or to say vote them out.
00:02:24Those responsible for grave crimes against humanity, including genocide, must be prosecuted, even if they are the most powerful officials
00:02:33in the world.
00:02:35With no further ado, it is my honor to introduce the legal team that has worked with Taxpayer Alliance Against
00:02:43Genocide to prepare the submission.
00:02:45Two amazing human rights attorneys, Curtis Dobler and Maria Kari.
00:02:49And they will now share their statements with us.
00:02:58Good morning.
00:02:59My name is Curtis Dobler.
00:03:00I'm one of the consul, as you just heard, for Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide in the submission of this evidence
00:03:06to the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC.
00:03:10Together with Maria Kari and Terry Lodge.
00:03:14I intended to be with you in The Hague today, but unfortunately there was a death in my family.
00:03:18So I'm grateful for my colleagues for allowing me to stand by them remotely and to support the great work
00:03:24that they've done and having the courage, having witnessed crimes to bring this evidence to the prosecutor's office of the
00:03:33International Criminal Court.
00:03:34The evidence alleges that the officials that are named, that's Donald Trump, President of the United States, and Marco Rubio,
00:03:44the Secretary of State of the United States,
00:03:46knowingly supplied, released, expedited, and protected the transfer weapons to Israel after repeated warnings that those weapons were being used
00:03:56to cause mass civilian deaths, destruction, starvation, displacement, and to create conditions that made life virtually impossible in Gaza.
00:04:07They allege that they removed the safeguards assigned to prevent exactly these results.
00:04:15And they allege that they directed coercive measures, as we just heard, against the court itself, which is a violation
00:04:23of the statute of the court.
00:04:24The submission is not built on speculation. It is based on official documents, the U.S. government findings, the independent
00:04:35evaluations, even United States federal court findings that have alleged that genocide is plausibly taking place in Gaza.
00:04:46And the findings of the international court. The question is now whether those who supplied the means will be examined,
00:04:53along with those who use them.
00:04:55We say they must be, and that impunity cannot stop at the trigger puller.
00:05:00We asked the prosecutor to act, and we asked the international community to support the court's independence at a moment
00:05:08when that independence is under attack.
00:05:12The victims whose accounts are in this submission cannot attend this press conference. They are in Gaza.
00:05:20The least we can do is make sure their evidence reaches the prosecutor, and that the prosecutor is free to
00:05:27act on it.
00:05:33Thank you so much, Curtis. And I should point out that the legal team, which has worked countless hours, is
00:05:39all done so pro bono out of the commitment to the cause.
00:05:43Maria Kari, co-counsel, we welcome you.
00:05:49Good morning. My name is Maria Kari, and I join you from Houston, Texas.
00:05:52It was almost three years ago when I received the first message for help from an American trapped in Gaza.
00:05:59The Biden administration refused to help her evacuate, and it was only when we sued the government, demanding that they
00:06:06do their job,
00:06:06that they evacuated her and approximately 80 other Americans from Gaza.
00:06:11Today, I am reminded of my clients I could not evacuate in time.
00:06:16Mufid Harara from Dallas, who was killed by a missile his tax dollars paid for.
00:06:21Barak and Hashem Malaga from Chicago, who were disappeared into an Israeli prison while waiting for the
00:06:27to help them.
00:06:30As I join you, my daughters sleep upstairs.
00:06:33They will never know hunger like the children of Gaza.
00:06:35They will never know the fear Hindraja felt in her last moments.
00:06:39This submission is for the over 64,000 children killed or injured in Gaza.
00:06:45We lawyers are a small part of this historic effort.
00:06:48We are a cog in the wheel.
00:06:51We are there to do our job.
00:06:53The real heroes are our clients.
00:06:56The brave members of Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide who, in the face of great risk,
00:07:02stand before you today to say enough.
00:07:05For too many of us, it's been easier to ignore what is being done in our name daily, using our
00:07:11dollars.
00:07:12But our clients have never looked away, not even for a second.
00:07:16For a year, they have compiled evidence of Trump and Rubio's war crimes.
00:07:21Crimes that could only have been committed because of the unconditional, bottomless cash,
00:07:28weaponry and diplomatic support the Trump administration has given to the Israeli occupation.
00:07:34Today, we are turning to the ICC because we have tried everything at home.
00:07:37We have sued in domestic courts, knocked on the door of every member of Congress,
00:07:42and engaged in peaceful protest.
00:07:44We are in the head today hoping justice can finally be done.
00:07:51Thank you so much, Maria.
00:07:55Incredible work.
00:07:58Next up, we are very honored, honored by every speaker here today.
00:08:04But we are very appreciative that UN Special Rapporteur of the Palestinian Occupied Territories,
00:08:10Francesca Albanese, is able to join us as our keynote speaker.
00:08:16I think she requires no further introduction.
00:08:19Anybody who has been paying attention to the attempt to stop genocide in Palestine knows
00:08:23that Ms. Albanese has been in the front line and she has been likewise sanctioned by the Trump administration illegally
00:08:31for her advocacy.
00:08:33Thank you for joining us, Ms. Albanese.
00:08:38Thank you so much.
00:08:39Thank you, Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide for inviting me today.
00:08:47It's a historic occasion indeed.
00:08:50And I want to extend my salute to all the organizations and individuals who are gathering today
00:08:57and stand in solidarity with this initiative.
00:09:02I also want to extend my condolences to Curtis for his loss.
00:09:08What shall I start?
00:09:10Never again was a promise.
00:09:12A promise to remember, to prevent, and to never allow heinous crimes to reoccur.
00:09:20Born in the aftermath of the Second World War, the international order was forged by people who had witnessed the
00:09:29scourge of war,
00:09:30the wounds of genocide and the horrors of mass extermination.
00:09:34It was built on the determination that humanity would never again stand helpless before such crimes.
00:09:43And the creation of the International Criminal Court over time became, in many respects, the institutional embodiment of that promise.
00:09:55A permanent, independent court entrusted with prosecuting those responsible for the gravest crimes known to humanity.
00:10:06Today, upholding that promise requires states to cooperate with the International Criminal Court and defend the principles of universal justice.
00:10:14But the current US administration's attack on the ICC represent an unprecedented assault on international justice,
00:10:22remarkable not only for its absurdity, but also for its sheer vulgarity.
00:10:29It strikes the very premise that law matters, that justice must prevail over power, and that no one, no one,
00:10:40no person, no state authority, no corporation, no rich person, is above the law.
00:10:49The doctrine of might makes right, has rarely been so present, though. And in the face of atrocities...
00:11:24Well, what we're seeing, what's happening in the HAC is the Taxpayer Alliance against China.
00:11:52Let's go back to the HAC to continue listening to the statements of Francesca Albanese.
00:11:58They are not the only ones, but they are peaceful tools. And what is missing, in many, is the political
00:12:05courage to use them.
00:12:07That political courage is the one that the Taxpayer Alliance against Genocide is showing.
00:12:14And this is why today's gathering matters. Today, Palestine is the litmus test of international justice.
00:12:20And this is what it means, of what it means, of what it stands for, and what it can achieve
00:12:25for the people of Palestine and beyond.
00:12:28The US administration understands it. And this is precisely what it seeks to rapture.
00:12:35This administration's attack on the ICC, on UNRWA, the United Nations as a whole, reveal an ambition to entrench global
00:12:46hegemony and extinguish the possibility of justice.
00:12:50Not just in Palestine, not just in Palestine, everywhere.
00:12:53So the President continues to congratulate himself on brokering a ceasefire that has seen, right now, over 1,600 Palestinians
00:13:03killed in Gaza and almost 6,000 injured.
00:13:07He chaired a so-called board of peace that revives imperial ambitions and colonial tones while securing conditions for Palestine's
00:13:15continued erasure and Israel's impunity.
00:13:18And this, while the United States continues to arm Israel, protect those responsible for its crimes and enable individuals and
00:13:26companies to profit from their commission.
00:13:28So let us be clear. The genocide of the Palestinian people would not have been possible without the unwavering support
00:13:35of the United States.
00:13:37This is not new, because the United States has long stood at the helm of extractive imperialism and colonial domination.
00:13:44But today, it is Palestinian steadfastness, their Sumud, that is shaking this system and exposing its fragility.
00:13:54Like David confronting Goliath, the Palestinian struggle for justice might yet change the course of history for all people. I
00:14:04do believe it.
00:14:05It is this common struggle, the evidence submitted today by the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide concerning the plausible participation of
00:14:14senior US officials in war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, that is crucial.
00:14:19It is a crucial step toward accountability. It is an opportunity to go further, to confront the responsibility of the
00:14:27United States itself for its role in the destruction of a people.
00:14:32May this be the end of that system and the beginning of a new one.
00:14:38I want to conclude by recognizing something fundamental. Today, as throughout history, it is citizens who keep the torch of
00:14:47justice burning.
00:14:48It is individual holding that torch. This initiative draws inspiration from Palestinians who, despite confronting the extraordinary machinery of war,
00:14:59have never ceased to organize, resist and insist on their humanity.
00:15:04So, I thank the taxpayers' alliance against genocide for this principle work and all the Palestinians involved in it. The
00:15:13road to justice may be steep, but standing resolutely together, we will make it.
00:15:19Palestine has become a light in the darkness. As Anas al-Sharif used to say, the beating heart of every
00:15:29free soul, awakening our global conscience and giving it new meaning.
00:15:34May the solidarity we build today make that light brighter until it breaks through the shadows and illuminates a future
00:15:42worthy of all of us and free Palestine and free us all. Thank you.
00:15:52Thank you so much, Ms. Albanese. Free Palestine. Free us all.
00:15:59Next up is an extreme honor for me to introduce other members of Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide that have worked
00:16:04steadfastly on the evidence.
00:16:05And we'll start with you, Tariq Raouf. He will introduce himself further.
00:16:25The world is in crisis because we keep letting fascists avoid accountability for their crimes.
00:16:31And we stand before you today as American taxpayers and civilians, wanting to seek that accountability in every avenue we
00:16:39possibly can.
00:16:42Trump, Rubio, and others in this administration have funded and armed a rogue, racist military that has annihilated 49 of
00:16:51my family members.
00:16:52And I refuse to stand idly as they attempt to destroy the only court that can help us find justice.
00:17:01One of the ways that this administration has wrought havoc on my people is with the formation of the so
00:17:06-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,
00:17:08who facilitated the creation of aid sites that then became death traps.
00:17:13Mona, one of my family members, was shot and killed at these aid sites when she was trying to get
00:17:18flour for her starving family.
00:17:21But these aid sites aren't the only places stuff like this happens.
00:17:25My 11-year-old cousin, Sally, was sniped in the head.
00:17:29And her death went viral as her father apologized to her as she breathed her last breaths.
00:17:37And another cousin, Abdurrahman, was shot down as he was trying to collect rainwater.
00:17:43This is just a sampling of stories that Palestinians all throughout Gaza have.
00:17:48And my family is no different than thousands that are still experiencing violence and trauma at the hands of criminals
00:17:54with endless impunity.
00:17:58In sharing the news of our historic filing with the ICC today, I have already been given thanks by strangers
00:18:03for our bravery.
00:18:05But let us be clear.
00:18:07What we are doing here cannot be framed as bravery.
00:18:10It is not extraordinary, nor can it be seen this way.
00:18:14Because we are doing what world leaders and institutions should have been doing since they got into power and since
00:18:20these institutions have been created.
00:18:23What is the point of creating systems like the United Nations and the International Criminal Court if criminals are never
00:18:31brought to court and nations never unite against the threat of nuclear war and global conflict?
00:18:39For decades, pretty words from impotent politicians and world leaders were enough to placate the general public.
00:18:45But the time for words has gone, and the time for action is quickly passing.
00:18:52Let us be honest here.
00:18:53We do not need any more condemnations or tweets from public officials.
00:18:58We need action.
00:18:59My hope is that our actions at the ICC today inspire others around the world to seek justice in every
00:19:06avenue they possibly can.
00:19:07It is clear that world leaders would rather play along with fascists than stop them, and we must demand an
00:19:13end to this idiotic behavior and nonchalance towards fascism before it is too late.
00:19:20I, for one, have no intentions of going quietly into the night as world leaders walk us right into nuclear
00:19:26war.
00:19:26And I ask everyone that cares about building a better world to join us in our demands for justice.
00:19:33We do not want your tweets, we do not want your crocodile tears, and we do not want your feigned
00:19:38ignorance.
00:19:39We want justice, and we want it now.
00:19:51Thank you, Tariq.
00:19:52Next up is Muhammad Ali, member of Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide, who came from New Jersey.
00:20:04Assalaamu Alaikum.
00:20:06Peace and blessings to you all.
00:20:08My name is Muhammad Ali.
00:20:09I'm a co-founder of Taxpayer's Alliance Against Genocide.
00:20:14I am a Muslim-Palestinian-American, born and raised in the States, and a direct descendant of survivors of the
00:20:21Nakba, Dad Yassin, 1948.
00:20:25For decades, I have listened to family members' first-hand accounts of the horrors of apartheid.
00:20:31Back then, I watched as those responsible escaped accountability.
00:20:35And for the past 1,131 days, I've been forced to see it again.
00:20:41Well, that ends today.
00:20:44Today, we are here to amplify the voices of those who suffered, those who lost, who grieved, past and present,
00:20:51at the hands of corruption, greed, and acts of immeasurable cruelty.
00:20:55Today, we are here as a collective voice, demanding that this administration be held accountable for the genocide and crimes
00:21:03against humanity that we have all been forced to witness.
00:21:07And I don't have to give you numbers.
00:21:08You already know.
00:21:10You already know.
00:21:11We are all aware.
00:21:13The number of children left without family, left without limbs, the number of children murdered or forced to starve.
00:21:22We all know how much money, how many bombs, how many drones, how many men, women, and children targeted simply
00:21:30for existing.
00:21:31I don't have to stand here and reiterate what the world already knows.
00:21:35That you would rather make a profit and show allegiance to a foreign nation, even if it means more war,
00:21:43more destruction, and more bloodshed than improve the lives of all on U.S. soil.
00:21:48We are here to fan the flame of justice until it consumes impunity.
00:21:53Just as flames consumed Maryam Ghanem's mother when Israel bombed their home, leaving Maryam trapped, forced to watch her mother
00:22:01burn to death.
00:22:03We are here today to remind those like Trump and Rubio, who are riddled with hypocrisy, just as Hind Rajab
00:22:10was riddled with bullets, alone in a car among her murdered family members,
00:22:14that we the people will not ignore or forget your role in genocide and crimes against humanity.
00:22:21We have long passed the times of ignorance and falling for pathetic propaganda aimed at swaying the position of the
00:22:29people.
00:22:30Those days have long gone.
00:22:31And just as you remain at Israel's beck and call, we the people are here to answer the call of
00:22:38justice and accountability.
00:22:40Thank you very much.
00:22:48Next up, we have TAG co-founders, Annemarie Sinberg, and Ruby Remmin.
00:22:58Ruby Remmin.
00:23:00Oh, yes.
00:23:01Rubina Remmin.
00:23:12That was so powerful, I don't know what I have to say that hasn't been said already,
00:23:17but I'll do my best.
00:23:21I'm here today as a founding member of Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide, a mother, a grandmother,
00:23:28an American of Lebanese descent, who believes that no one, however powerful, should ever, ever be above the law.
00:23:38My main role in preparing this submission has been researching, gathering, and coordinating evidence,
00:23:44interviewing witnesses, and helping them tell their stories through sworn declarations and affidavits.
00:23:53I've listened to Palestinian civilians describe what they've endured.
00:23:59I've spoken with doctors who treated the wounded and starving in Gaza, while their own lives and families were at
00:24:06risk.
00:24:08I've worked with explosive and munitions experts, identifying the use of U.S. supplied 2,000-pound bombs,
00:24:17and the havoc that it places on civilian populations.
00:24:25I've worked with an explosive and munitions expert, identifying the use of U.S.
00:24:30Oh, I just said that. Sorry.
00:24:32I've worked with a former Gaza Humanitarian Foundation contractor, who described what he witnessed at the aid distribution sites.
00:24:43He compared it to the Hunger Games, and supplied videos documenting what he saw.
00:24:50The unimaginable horror these people described is something I'll never, ever, ever forget.
00:24:59These weren't just documents I was preparing. These were human beings, telling me things that no one should ever have
00:25:07to go through.
00:25:07No one thought back tears many times during those interviews.
00:25:15I remember asking one expert witness, big burly guy, how did everything you saw affect you?
00:25:27He just broke down. Just broke down.
00:25:32That's why we're here today. These people's voices must be heard.
00:25:38Their suffering can't be ignored. And those responsible must be held accountable.
00:25:45We believe the mountains of evidence that we've gathered support the issuance of arrest warrants for Donald Trump and Marco
00:25:53Rubio,
00:25:54for their roles in aiding and abetting the genocide and other crimes against the Palestinian people.
00:25:59People from all walks of life, across countries and cultures, coming together and organizing and acting in solidarity can stop
00:26:09this genocide.
00:26:10That's what we're doing.
00:26:12And help bring freedom to the Palestinian people and to the rest of the people against this tyranny,
00:26:19this empire that's meant to swallow us all.
00:26:24And that brings me to someone very special.
00:26:28Rubina is a member of Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide and an executive member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK.
00:26:37She worked tirelessly to help us obtain witness declarations and despite the many obstacles, she never gave up.
00:26:45Along the way, we became comrades and friends without ever meeting in person.
00:26:50When I invited her to speak today, she said something that stayed with me.
00:26:54It's a genocide. We don't have any choice.
00:26:57Thank you, Rubina.
00:27:05Thank you, Anne-Marie.
00:27:07Hello and Assalamu alaikum to you all.
00:27:10As a mother and teacher listening to the witness statements about the horrors families were forced to endure was harrowing.
00:27:17The bombings described were evidently calculated, brutal and systematic.
00:27:22I cannot imagine what it's like living through it every day.
00:27:26Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare and it becomes so much worse knowing that the killers justify their
00:27:33massacres because they believe some children to be less worthy of life.
00:27:37What was Hind Rajab's crime? Being born in our homeland. Then millions of us are guilty.
00:27:45There should be no place and no support for racist settler colonialism in civil society in any time, but especially
00:27:52not in 2026.
00:27:54We will never forget the devastating human suffering inflicted on Palestinian families, nor will we forget the role of the
00:28:01Trump administration in enabling Israel's actions through American weapons, military assistance, political protection and billions of dollars in U.S.
00:28:09taxpayer money.
00:28:10This is why we are here today to demand accountability, not only for those committing these crimes, but also for
00:28:17those aiding and abetting them.
00:28:19This madness must come to an end.
00:28:22I know the good people of this earth and especially in this room will do whatever it is in their
00:28:28power to stop this horror show and we will one day see a free Palestine.
00:28:37Thank you, Robina.
00:28:39Thank you, Ana Marie.
00:28:41Free Palestine.
00:28:43And then to wrap up the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide component of today's press conference, it's an honor for me
00:28:50to introduce Tariq Kanana, co-founder of Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide, zooming in from California.
00:29:02Well, it continues, as we were saying, witnessing this press conference of the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide, which is at
00:29:09the International Criminal Court in the head to hand over this collection of evidence so that the prosecution and to
00:29:17ask the prosecutor to request an arrest warrant against President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other ranking
00:29:24officials in the administration and also the previous administration.
00:29:26The Biden administration for aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza supporting the Israel regime in their crimes against humanity in
00:29:35Gaza.
00:29:36The Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide and the organization continues to offer statement in this press conference.
00:29:41Let's let's go back life.
00:29:42Let's go back life.
00:29:45Let's go back life.
00:29:46Our people, our families living in Palestine between the river and the sea have been killed.
00:29:58They have been at Maine, burned alive, buried alive.
00:30:03And for us Palestinians, wherever we are around the world, we've been in a state of shock, in a state
00:30:19of mourning for the last three years.
00:30:22And while we know, while we know that anything we can do will not bring any of those people back,
00:30:36will not ease the pain that they have been through.
00:30:44And us along with them.
00:30:49But while we know that we know that anything we can do, we must do anything that we can do
00:31:03to end what is happening, to prevent it from happening again.
00:31:09And we have to do that.
00:31:15From the very beginning, our sister organization, Taxpayers Against Genocide, has been doing whatever is possible to change the policies
00:31:38of our government in the U.S.
00:31:44In terms of aiding and abetting the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people.
00:31:53We have gone through the courts.
00:32:01We sued our Congress members, several of them here in Northern California.
00:32:13For illegally using our tax dollars, for illegally voting to use our tax dollars to fund this genocide.
00:32:25We learned very early on that there is no recourse within the system, the legal system or the political system
00:32:38inside the U.S.
00:32:43The U.S. system is set up to protect itself.
00:32:50Each branch of this system is set up to protect all the other branches.
00:32:56That is why we felt it is important to resort to international bodies to protect us and protect our Palestinian
00:33:12families from our own government.
00:33:22Our only recourse to seek accountability for our own government was to approach the United Nations, the Inter-America's Commission
00:33:38on Human Rights and now the ICC.
00:33:45And while we know that this work alone is not enough, we need to be sure that this evidence is
00:34:05put to use.
00:34:06That the court follows up with this investigation and prosecution and whatever comes after that.
00:34:19We need to keep up all pressure on the court worldwide.
00:34:31The court follows up with this investigation and prosecution.
00:34:39Thank you very much.
00:34:48Thank you so much, Tarek.
00:34:52so that's the team the legal team and the people that are directly submitting the evidence but now
00:34:58we have folks that are part of TARC mentioned the sister organization the larger organization
00:35:02taxpayers against genocide and many other organizations present to express support
00:35:07for this historic submission I want to reiterate that we have focused over the last year on those
00:35:14in power Trump and Rubio in particular but we full-heartedly support investigation prosecution
00:35:20of the former administration of former president Joseph Biden and secretary secretary of state
00:35:25Anthony Blinken in particular it's an honor to introduce way to a rough many of you know
00:35:34way to incredible human rights attorney who's worked very closely with taxpayers against
00:35:39genocide in filing that complaint with the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights
00:35:43that TARC just mentioned who it is co-founder of the freedom sotilla coalition the international
00:35:49solidarity movement and just an incredible activist for a free Palestine so welcome boy
00:35:54to thank you thank you Seth good morning everyone taxpayers alliance against genocide is in the Hague
00:36:04because the US domestic system has failed to provide accountability for the US's role in enabling and
00:36:11facilitating entity participating in the genocide in Gaza our political branches here have failed the
00:36:19institutions meant to provide checks and balances have failed and those of us who have fought for
00:36:25accountability through domestic channels have confronted a system unwilling or unable to hold those in
00:36:32power responsible and to be clear as Seth just said the failure did not begin with the Trump
00:36:39administration it is a failure of a US system that has long insulated itself and its officials from
00:36:45accountability for international crimes including the ultimate crime of genocide and they've done this
00:36:51primarily through the use of what's called the political question doctrine and that's why we've turned to
00:36:58international institutions I represent taxpayers against genocide in a petition against the US government as a
00:37:07government as a whole before the Inter-American Commission on human rights that petition alleges that the US is
00:37:14violating its obligations under the American Declaration on the rights and duties of man as well as
00:37:19peremptory norms of international law the Commission is currently considering questions of jurisdiction arising from
00:37:27the extraterritorial nature of the violations but we maintain that jurisdiction is clear the Commission has authority to
00:37:36examine the conduct of organization of American states member states including conduct originating within
00:37:45their own territory because the United States is making and manufacturing weapons here and these this conduct
00:37:52contributes to grave human rights violations beyond their borders so this filing in the ICC this filing
00:37:59before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights they are part of the same effort to insist on the fundamental
00:38:04principle that no government can be permitted to shield itself from the law and no individual can be permitted to
00:38:11escape
00:38:11accountability because of the office that they hold we are witnessing here now with the Trump administration an
00:38:20administration that is not only resisting accountability but actively challenging the international legal order itself an
00:38:27administration that has sanctioned international justice officials withdrawn from international human
00:38:34rights mechanisms and sought to undermine institutions that exist precisely to ensure that the powerful are subject to
00:38:41the same rules as everyone else and the alternative that is being presented Trump's so-called peace plan for
00:38:49Gaza and his self-styled board of peace which represent a model where the future of an occupied and
00:38:56devastated people is placed under the authority of an externally imposed body rather than being grounded in
00:39:02Palestinian self-determination and what began as a mechanism ostensibly for Gaza has ambitions extending far far
00:39:12beyond it raising the prospect of an attempt to rival or supplant the United Nations and the international legal system
00:39:21the UN Security Council's adoption of UN resolution 2803 one year ago is a historic betrayal of not only the
00:39:30Palestinian people but of the very principles that the UN claims to defend and uphold and it is one of
00:39:36the most
00:39:36dangerous efforts in recent years to make international law irrelevant instead installing a neo-colonial trusteeship run by
00:39:43those who have armed funded and politically shielded Israel for decades you can't dismantle the
00:39:49institutions of international accountability and then appoint yourself as architect of so-called peace
00:39:55the international systems that exist today the UN the ICC the the institutions are imperfect but their purpose is to
00:40:03ensure that justice does not depend on permission of the powerful if international law applies only against the
00:40:12the powerless it is not law it is a weapon wielded by the powerful and if the institutions entrusted with
00:40:18upholding it cannot hold the powerful accountable then the failure is not simply of these institutions
00:40:24it's a failure of the whole international legal order and a failure of our collective humanity
00:40:37thank you so much way to thank you
00:40:43next up and we want to let the media know and folks watching the live stream we have a we
00:40:48have an ongoing
00:40:49lineup of amazing speakers from different sectors and then after that there will be time for questions
00:40:53and discussion next up we have the amazing palestinian american novelist and human rights advocate susan albahawa
00:41:06thank you seth
00:41:08i want to start by admitting that i am here not without fear but through that fear
00:41:14we all know what happens to people who try to hold the powerful to account careers and livelihoods are destroyed
00:41:22names are smeared families are threatened the ability to function in the world is withheld
00:41:28sometimes people are put behind bars and sometimes they are killed
00:41:35this court knows that fear its own judges and prosecutors have been sanctioned and threatened by the us government
00:41:42cut off from their banks and their lives turned upside down
00:41:47but there comes a time when the stakes are so high when our very humanity is at stake that one
00:41:55cannot remain idle
00:41:57even if all one has is to throw one's body into the gears of empire's awful machine
00:42:06so i want to speak directly to the prosecutors and the judges of this court
00:42:11because i suspect you too carry this particular fear
00:42:18for more than three years we have all watched a genocide broadcast in high definition
00:42:25palestinian victims live stream their own demise
00:42:29israeli perpetrators celebrate it with the toys and lingerie of their victims
00:42:35and our american tax dollars pay for it
00:42:40more than 74 000 people are recorded killed violently so
00:42:45and we know that count is actually only a fraction of the real total
00:42:52whole families have been erased from the civil registry
00:42:56hospitals universities mosques churches bakeries libraries archives have been reduced to rubble
00:43:04hunger and starvation
00:43:07hunger and starvation runs rampant
00:43:09and so does the infestation of rodents
00:43:12and the spread of contagions
00:43:16more journalists have been killed in gaza
00:43:18than any moment of conflict
00:43:20in modern memory
00:43:23nearly 2 000 people
00:43:24have been murdered under a so-called
00:43:26ceasefire
00:43:28and if you ask the people in gaza
00:43:30they will tell you that those were the lucky ones
00:43:35ask any of the tens of thousands of children who've lost all their family
00:43:39lost limbs
00:43:41lost hope
00:43:42lost their minds
00:43:46children around the world
00:43:47sneak into their parents bedrooms
00:43:49to sleep with their parents at night
00:43:51in gaza
00:43:53children sneak out of their flimsy tents
00:43:56to sleep atop their parents graves
00:44:00as we speak
00:44:02families already living in utter degradation
00:44:05were flooded
00:44:07all their meager belongings
00:44:09meager food
00:44:10drowned in rain and sewage water
00:44:13while israel continues to block
00:44:14simple shelters waiting at the border
00:44:17that could give them some minimal protection
00:44:20in this fourth
00:44:21genocide
00:44:25no one left on this earth
00:44:27can say i did not know
00:44:31if a genocide we all watched with our own eyes
00:44:34can go on into its fourth year
00:44:37and the men who armed and paid for it
00:44:39walk free
00:44:41then nothing is forbidden
00:44:44there will be no law left
00:44:46only power
00:44:47what is tested in gaza
00:44:49never stays in gaza
00:44:52it is the same greed
00:44:54that uproots olive trees
00:44:55and poisons the seas
00:44:57the same greed
00:44:58that is consuming our dying planet
00:45:01sparing no plant
00:45:03or wildlife in its way
00:45:05it is the same machine
00:45:07that runs on bought silence
00:45:09and secrecy
00:45:11and that buries those
00:45:12who tell the truth
00:45:15sooner or later
00:45:16it comes for everyone
00:45:19we want a better world
00:45:21we deserve a kinder
00:45:24gentler existence
00:45:27one not built
00:45:28on hoarding resources
00:45:30without limits
00:45:31and without accountability
00:45:33we want international law
00:45:36to apply to an American president
00:45:38as it has applied
00:45:40to African leaders in this court
00:45:43and we want a world
00:45:45where telling the truth
00:45:46is not a crime
00:45:48we deserve that
00:45:51and it is something worth fighting for
00:45:53and worth risking our lives for
00:45:58we cannot get there
00:45:59unless someone finds the courage
00:46:01to say no more
00:46:05history
00:46:06honorable judges
00:46:07and prosecutors
00:46:09does not remember safe decisions
00:46:12it remembers
00:46:13those who stood up
00:46:15when standing up had a price
00:46:18and history
00:46:19has given you this test
00:46:21i know the weight of what we are asking
00:46:25we are asking
00:46:26we are asking you to be afraid
00:46:27and to act anyway
00:46:29ordinary people have crossed oceans
00:46:32and defied their own governments
00:46:33to put this evidence in your hand
00:46:36taxpayers, doctors, mothers, lawyers
00:46:40we have done our part
00:46:41with fear in our throats
00:46:43and we ask you to do yours now
00:46:46we ask you to take courage
00:46:48because the world is watching
00:46:51and because the dead are watching too
00:46:53thank you
00:47:02so we continue to see live what is happening
00:47:04in the Hague as the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide
00:47:07is in the International Criminal Court
00:47:09to hand over this group
00:47:11this collection of evidence
00:47:12so that the prosecution
00:47:14can process it
00:47:16and probably they are also demanding
00:47:18that they issue an arrest war against
00:47:20President Donald Trump
00:47:22Secretary of State Marco Rubio
00:47:23and other high ranking U.S. officials
00:47:25for having aided and abetted
00:47:27the genocide
00:47:28war crimes and crimes against humanity
00:47:30that continue to this day in Gaza
00:47:32let's go back to the Hague
00:47:37I have worked in the Gaza Strip twice
00:47:39since the genocide began
00:47:41I was blocked from entering
00:47:43in November of last year
00:47:45physicians like me
00:47:47we have an obligation to report
00:47:49on crimes that we witness
00:47:51it's something called mandatory reporting
00:47:53in the United States
00:47:55I regularly testify
00:47:56at murder trials
00:47:57assault trials
00:47:58drunk driving trials
00:47:59because I'm a witness
00:48:00to what happened
00:48:01and that's part of my professional obligations
00:48:03well it's really doubly
00:48:05maybe triply so
00:48:07when I'm also the one committing the crime
00:48:09it's not a common thing for physicians
00:48:11that we face
00:48:12but nevertheless in this case of Gaza
00:48:14it's certainly true
00:48:16in Gaza
00:48:17we all know the situation
00:48:19American airplanes
00:48:20burning American jet fuel
00:48:22are dropping American bombs
00:48:23and which are guided by American
00:48:26guidance systems
00:48:28on targets that were picked largely by software
00:48:31developed in the United States
00:48:32the pilots might speak Hebrew
00:48:35but the machinery of death speaks English
00:48:37for sure
00:48:38the American people are generally horrified
00:48:41by what is being done in their name
00:48:42but unfortunately we live in a country
00:48:46we meaning Americans
00:48:46live in a country
00:48:47where public opinion
00:48:49just doesn't influence public policy very much
00:48:52well
00:48:53I hope these attempts at reestablishing
00:48:57or maybe establishing the rule of law
00:48:59in the international system
00:49:00these attempts to hold the powerful accountable
00:49:03something that we unfortunately
00:49:04have failed to do in our own society
00:49:07can be an effective resistance to the
00:49:10like it was mentioned
00:49:11the fascist forces
00:49:12that are spreading throughout the world now
00:49:15and that if we don't push back on
00:49:18I fear that as a trauma surgeon
00:49:19I'll have a lot more work to do in the future
00:49:21thank you
00:49:26thank you so much Dr. Seedwa
00:49:31next up we have David McIntosh
00:49:33David McIntosh is a whistleblower
00:49:35a courageous whistleblower
00:49:37who was working with
00:49:38the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
00:49:40came out
00:49:41exposed what he was witnessing
00:49:43and has also provided evidence
00:49:45for this incredible submission
00:49:49thank you very much Seth
00:49:50and thank the Lord
00:49:51for giving me the platform
00:49:53as Seth mentioned
00:49:54I was a manager
00:49:55at the GHF sites
00:49:57and went later on to expose
00:50:00the horrors there
00:50:01which any good person
00:50:03or person with a moral compass
00:50:04should do
00:50:05so
00:50:06I'm here today
00:50:07to stand behind my words
00:50:09but more importantly
00:50:10to put my heart
00:50:11my conscious
00:50:12and my convictions
00:50:13behind every single one of them
00:50:15as a former British Royal Marines Commando
00:50:18it's embedded in me
00:50:19to fight against injustice
00:50:20and protect the ones
00:50:21who cannot protect themselves
00:50:23these are not merely words
00:50:25but principles
00:50:26forged within me
00:50:27that didn't wilter away
00:50:28when the uniform came off
00:50:29the IDF
00:50:31the IDF
00:50:31are the epitome
00:50:32of wickedness
00:50:33their conduct
00:50:34represents
00:50:35a profound betrayal
00:50:37of the principles
00:50:38enshrined
00:50:39in the Geneva Conventions
00:50:40their rules of engagement
00:50:42are more reminiscent
00:50:43of a bloodthirsty
00:50:44malicious
00:50:46over a disciplined
00:50:47moral
00:50:48and civilized military
00:50:50any nation
00:50:51institution
00:50:52or politician
00:50:54that supports
00:50:55this criminal organization
00:50:56or bears silent witness
00:50:57to their crimes
00:50:59should be held accountable
00:51:01justice
00:51:02cannot be selective
00:51:03human rights
00:51:04cannot be conditional
00:51:05and morality
00:51:07cannot be something
00:51:07we invoke
00:51:08only when it serves
00:51:09our political interests
00:51:10if international law
00:51:11is to mean anything
00:51:12it must apply equally
00:51:14to the powerful
00:51:15and the powerless
00:51:16to our allies
00:51:17and adversaries alike
00:51:18otherwise
00:51:18it is not justice
00:51:19it is hypocrisy
00:51:21dressed in Shakespearean robes
00:51:23of righteousness
00:51:26we are not but three strikes
00:51:28three strikes of the clock
00:51:30from a dystopian future
00:51:32when regimes are no longer held accountable
00:51:35for ethnic cleansing
00:51:36genocide
00:51:37and apartheid
00:51:38by an impartial global judicial system
00:51:40like the ICC
00:51:42we are on the doorsteps of totalitarianism
00:51:44by any would-be sycophant
00:51:47who fancies a shot at being
00:51:48our draconian overlord
00:51:50an ambitious title
00:51:52at the forefront of weak
00:51:53narcissistic
00:51:54corrupt men
00:51:55like Donald Trump
00:51:56and Netanyahu
00:51:57so today
00:51:58I make a stand
00:51:59with my compatriots
00:52:00in defence of morality
00:52:02free speech
00:52:03and for any tyrant
00:52:04that inflicts injustice
00:52:05upon any people
00:52:06anywhere
00:52:07to face judgement
00:52:08by a court
00:52:09of righteously
00:52:10duly elected
00:52:11honourable figures
00:52:13whose allegiance is to justice
00:52:15not political power
00:52:17because justice
00:52:18without accountability
00:52:19is an illusion
00:52:20freedom without courage
00:52:21is fragile
00:52:22and humanity
00:52:23without compassion
00:52:24is humanity lost
00:52:26I didn't spend
00:52:27part of my life
00:52:28serving under the values
00:52:29of courage
00:52:30unity
00:52:31and integrity
00:52:31simply to abandon
00:52:33those values
00:52:33in the face of fear
00:52:34or surrender
00:52:36my morals
00:52:36to adversity
00:52:38thank you

00:53:44who believes that my country's tax dollars
00:53:47should not be paying
00:53:48for the genocide and ethnic cleansing
00:53:51of Palestinians
00:53:53in Gaza and the West Bank
00:53:55for nearly a year
00:53:58people
00:53:58on this team
00:54:00have been gathering evidence
00:54:02we've listened to doctors
00:54:04who have served in Gaza
00:54:06we've heard sworn affidavits
00:54:08from eyewitnesses
00:54:10we've documented the bombs
00:54:12we've documented the funding
00:54:14we've documented the vetoes
00:54:17the APAC funding
00:54:18the political cover
00:54:19we've
00:54:20written to those
00:54:21who are in charge
00:54:22we've protested
00:54:24we've boycotted
00:54:25we've
00:54:27fought against it
00:54:29we've letter wrote
00:54:30we've
00:54:30gone to commission meetings
00:54:32we've
00:54:33continued to do
00:54:35all of this work
00:54:36and
00:54:36we continue to ask ourselves
00:54:38what do we do
00:54:40as
00:54:41taxpayers
00:54:42what do we do
00:54:44if our protests
00:54:47and boycotts
00:54:48are not being heard
00:54:49what do we do
00:54:51as taxpayers
00:54:51when our own government
00:54:53is aiding
00:54:54and abetting
00:54:55the atrocities
00:54:56that are occurring
00:54:57in Palestine
00:54:58right now
00:55:00they make it so
00:55:01we have no right to speak
00:55:03the government
00:55:04has tried again
00:55:05and again
00:55:06to stop us
00:55:06from sharing this evidence
00:55:08with this court
00:55:09but the first amendment
00:55:11does not disappear
00:55:12when the truth becomes
00:55:14too inconvenient
00:55:15for those who are in charge
00:55:17so today
00:55:19we are walking through the doors
00:55:20of the International Criminal Court
00:55:22today
00:55:24we will submit the evidence
00:55:25to the offices
00:55:26of the prosecutors
00:55:27in the Hague
00:55:28and we call for the arrest warrants
00:55:31we call for accountability
00:55:34and we call for principle
00:55:36to be taken
00:55:37because when a doctor describes
00:55:40treating a child
00:55:42a child
00:55:42from the rebel
00:55:43from the rebel
00:55:44anywhere in the world
00:55:45the law should not become abstract
00:55:49when weapons components
00:55:52are being shipped
00:55:54from the United States
00:55:55using U.S. shipping companies
00:55:58leaving U.S. civilian airports
00:56:02complicity is not just hypothetical
00:56:07we call for an end to all U.S. aid
00:56:13our tax dollars
00:56:15our tax dollars
00:56:17we call for an end to all U.S. aid
00:56:20we call for an arms embargo now
00:56:23there's no official
00:56:25not the president
00:56:26not the secretary of state
00:56:28not anyone
00:56:29who is above the law
00:56:32specifically international law
00:56:35so if the law protects
00:56:36only those with power
00:56:39it protects no one in reality
00:56:42for if the law is not protecting
00:56:45the most weak amongst us
00:56:47then who is it really
00:56:49put in place to protect
00:56:51so we are here today
00:56:54to say
00:56:54we are here to use our voices
00:56:58and our wills as our own
00:57:00and even though as my comrade said earlier
00:57:04even through the fear of using our voices
00:57:08we cannot remain silent
00:57:10we will not be silent
00:57:13in the face of these atrocities
00:57:15again we will remain steadfast in our demands
00:57:19not only for an eventual free Palestine
00:57:23but we want an end to all U.S. aid
00:57:28to the illegal apartheid Zionist state
00:57:31we want an arms embargo now
00:57:35the citizens of the United States
00:57:37would rather have our tax dollars
00:57:39funding our own communities
00:57:41our own health care
00:57:43our own education
00:57:44we have all watched for the last three years
00:57:48all around this earth
00:57:50we have watched this genocide occur
00:57:53right on our phones
00:57:55and the people
00:57:57for the last three years
00:57:58have continuously
00:58:00demanded a better world to live in
00:58:03a world where all children
00:58:06no matter where they come from
00:58:08deserve to live equally
00:58:11and be protected equally
00:58:14under the same international laws
00:58:16honorable judges
00:58:18and honorable persecutors
00:58:21you are now in a position of great courage
00:58:24and bravery
00:58:25and you now have the opportunity to uphold these rights
00:58:31and the safety of the most vulnerable in this world
00:58:35so I want to say free Palestine
00:58:39because there will one day be a free Palestine
00:58:43you will all see
00:58:46from the river to the sea
00:58:49we will one day rejoice
00:58:52when Palestine is free
00:58:54thank you
00:58:57thank you Nida
00:59:00thank you comrade
00:59:05somebody who's been with us each step of the way
00:59:08in the journey through the U.S. to fight to get accountability
00:59:11on an international level
00:59:13with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
00:59:17with being in D.C.
00:59:19being in New York
00:59:20and somebody who also has inspired our work
00:59:22by virtue of the long-term fight against genocide
00:59:25against African peoples within the Americas
00:59:29within the United States and the Americas
00:59:31is Jacqueline Lukeman
00:59:33chair of the coordinating committee
00:59:35of the Black Alliance for Peace
00:59:36Jackie it's such an honor to have you with us
00:59:40good morning and thank you so much
00:59:43I only wish I could be there physically with you today
00:59:46but I am humbled
00:59:51emotionally broken
00:59:53but definitely defiantly proud
00:59:55to be a part of this effort
00:59:58because the Black Alliance for Peace
01:00:00is a people-centered human rights project
01:00:03against war repression and imperialism
01:00:07and I have to note that I join you for this critical effort
01:00:11as we in the U.S. as Seth just noted
01:00:14commemorate 75 years since William Patterson
01:00:18and Paul Robeson delivered the We Charge Genocide
01:00:22the crime of government against the Negro people
01:00:25in 1951 to the United Nations
01:00:29so of course there is no way that I could not be a part of this effort
01:00:34building on the analysis and grave warning
01:00:38from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967
01:00:41Beyond Vietnam
01:00:43A Time to Break the Silence speech
01:00:45BAP exists to affirm
01:00:48that a nation that continues year after year
01:00:51to spend more money on military defense
01:00:54than on programs of social uplift
01:00:56is approaching spiritual death
01:00:59that's what Dr. King said in 1967 in that speech
01:01:04by diverting taxpayer dollars that should go
01:01:07to funding the needs of the people
01:01:09the U.S. government instead
01:01:11funds weapons, war, genocide
01:01:14in Palestine and beyond
01:01:16and in doing so they fulfill
01:01:19Dr. King's prescient admonition
01:01:21this country has long been spiritually dead
01:01:25and has done little but deliver death
01:01:29to people such as the Palestinians
01:01:32our brothers and sisters
01:01:34there and in Lebanon and beyond
01:01:36for decades
01:01:38as one of our founding members
01:01:40Jeribu Hill states
01:01:42as descendants of Africa
01:01:44still recalling the sting of the driver's lash
01:01:47born by our foremothers and forefathers
01:01:50the kidnapping, the trade
01:01:52we are also the casualties of imperialist wars
01:01:55and domestic terrorism
01:01:57the black radical voice must ground itself
01:02:01in the movement to end wars across the globe
01:02:05and boldly speak out against repression
01:02:07and the rise of fascism in all its many forms
01:02:11so for BAP and for myself personally
01:02:15the injury of the U.S.'s actions
01:02:18through Marco Rubio and Donald Trump
01:02:21through Joe Biden and his Secretary of State
01:02:25and in the actions of presidents
01:02:28before even him
01:02:29the injury they have done to Palestinians
01:02:33and to Africans in the United States
01:02:36and people around the world is not abstract
01:02:38it's a direct moral and personal violation
01:02:42of ourselves and our people
01:02:45funded by our own money
01:02:48so we join our comrades
01:02:50in the Taxpayers Alliance Against Genocide
01:02:53today to come before you respected prosecutors
01:02:57to demand an end to this abomination
01:03:00and to demand the prosecution
01:03:03of all who facilitate the continuance
01:03:06of this grievous crime against humanity
01:03:10and the complicity forcing citizens
01:03:13to be complicit in the destruction
01:03:16of our own people and humanity around the world
01:03:19in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen
01:03:22and on the streets of the United States and beyond
01:03:25we demand justice for all those who suffer
01:03:29under the imperialist lash of the U.S.
01:03:33and its Zionist allies
01:03:34starting with Palestine
01:03:36and spreading around the world
01:03:39we in BAP call for an end to imperialism
01:03:42and end to genocide
