LIVE COVERAGE: In Federal Court in Oakland, California, U.S. Attorneys and Palestinians said today: Biden is Complicit in Genocide

Video of court hearing now available:

OAKLAND, California -- The final testimony concludes now in today's hearing of President Biden's complicity with genocide. The lawsuit was filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights on behalf of Palestinians in U.S. federal court in Oakland, California.

The Center for Constitutional Rights said Biden has failed to uphold the Genocide Convention. "Not only has the U.S. failed to prevent, but has actively advanced the gravest of crimes."

Biden and cabinet members sought today to halt the case from moving forward in U.S. federal court. However, Senior District Judge Jeffrey S. White consistently overruled Biden's attorney and allowed the testimony today.

Dr. Barry Trachtenberg, Wake Forest University’s presidential chair of Jewish history in North Carolina, and a scholar on the Holocaust and genocide, testified for the plaintiffs as an expert scholar.

Oakland police execution of black youth video-taped

FRUITVALE BART STATION WHERE YOUNG AFRICAN-AMERICAN EXECUTED BY BART POLICE, EPI-CENTER OF LARGE COMMUNITY PROTEST

OAKLAND -- On Wednesday, January 7, 2009 thousands of people from Oakland and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area came to express their anger and pain at the execution of Oscar Grant, 22, of Hayward, by a BART police officer during the New Year holiday.
Several BART passengers video-taped BART cops holding Grant handcuffed and laying prone on his stomach on the platform at the Fruitvale BART station located in East Oakland. Each video clearly shows BART officer Johannes Mehserle removing his service pistol from his holster and shooting the young African-American male in his back. Immediately Grant's body went limp. BART Officer Johannes Mehserle then places the pistol back in his holster.
By midday of the protest, the video had been viewed by a half-million people on the Internet. Over 3,000 people attended the rally at the Fruitvale station from 3 pm to 7 pm. Numerous Civil and Human Rights frontline action groups such as United Native Americans, Inc., were present to show Community support and solidarity with the Grant family's untimely loss of their son Oscar. Oscar Grant was also lain to rest today with family and friends present at his funeral service.
In closing, our prayers from United Native Americans goes out to the Grant family and friends.
