CAIR sues US government over Gaza genocide
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government.
The complaint is aimed at the State Department, the Department of Defense, and the White House.
CAIR is accusing U.S. officials of ignoring reports of Israeli human rights violations in Gaza.
It claims the Biden administration covered up evidence of genocide.
The suit alleges that despite internal warnings, former President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Antony Blinken failed to stop the killings.
Palestinian-American families who lost loved ones in Israeli attacks are behind the legal action.
They say American weapons were used in the genocide.
CAIR also highlights the influence of Israeli lobby groups on U.S. policies.
Executive Director Nihad Awad says officials failed to act due to political pressure.
A separate lawsuit challenges the U.S. government for abandoning Palestinian-Americans in Gaza.
It claims that the State Department failed to evacuate them, violating their constitutional rights.
While other Americans were rescued from war zones, Palestinian-Americans were ignored.
Lawyers say the U.S. must protect its citizens, regardless of their background.
They demand urgent action before more lives are lost.
