The Pledge

• Whereas it is consensus in the human rights and humanitarian world, as well as the position of 75 percent of Democratic voters, that Israel committed genocide in Gaza with full US support. 

• Whereas the Biden administration armed, funded, and lied to cover up a genocide in Gaza.

• Whereas those most responsible for doing so bear a proportionate amount of the responsibility. 

• Whereas top Biden officials backed genocide in Gaza because they knew a Cycle Of Elite Immunity would protect them from accountability.

• Whereas US law (Section §620I, Leahy Laws, among others) required the president to end arms shipments to countries the State Department knows are committing war crimes, and the State Department actively covered up these findings.

• Whereas most of those responsible for the Gaza genocide have pivoted to prestigious jobs in Democratic, academic, liberal think tank, NGO, media, and “humanitarian” spaces. 

• Whereas breaking this Cycle Of Elite Immunity is necessary for any healthy or just society.

We therefore pledge to oppose any efforts to grant members of the Genocide20 institutional or political power that positions them to continue to perpetrate harm.
