WE CHARGE GENOCIDE!

Today in DC and across the country, we’ve gathered outside German diplomatic missions across the country in solidarity with Palestine, Nicaragua and South Africa, as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) begins proceedings on Nicaragua’s case against Germany for complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Actions are taking place in DC, NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, Houston, Boston, & San Francisco.

"We are answering the call for solidarity with Palestinian-Germans who risk beatings and arrest when they protest Germany's complicity in Israel's slaughter in Gaza. Without US and German weapons, Israel's genocide might well come to an end, sparing the lives of over a million Palestinians uprooted from their homes to struggle with mass starvation. CODEPINK demands the US and German governments stop sending weapons to Israel and fulfill their obligations under the UN Genocide Convention, which requires them to both prevent a looming genocide and stop an ongoing genocide. The leaders of Germany, like those in the US, shirk their responsibilities under international law to shock the conscience of the world,” — CODEPINK organizer Marcy Winograd. 

According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), US arms constitute 69% of Israel’s arsenal, with Germany accounting for an additional 30%. Recent reports by Reuters indicate a nearly tenfold increase in German arms exports to Israel since October 7th. Nicaragua seeks ICJ intervention to halt Germany’s alleged arming of Israel and to restore funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza.
