      Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas

      The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials and Hamas leaders, saying the court’s efforts put the terrorist organization and a top US ally on equivalent footing.

          His words mean absolutely nothing. Biden will let the both-sides theater play out when convenient. When the both-sides theater does not favor israel Biden will bypass congress and use slimy loopholes to send israel weapons.

          In earlier words Biden has already denounced the ICC and said they were not going to follow the arrest command. Called the ICC outrageous and simped for Netanyahu. Some lip-service to wash his bloody hands with now doesn’t magically make him innocent.

          If Biden truly cared about international law he’d be doing everything in his power to prevent these sanctions from becoming reality. But he’s too busy bypassing congress to build his Trump wall against immigrants.

      Way to completely miss the point. He’s obviously there cuz he’s the current US president.

      If they wanted to dunk on biden specifically of course, they could’ve just pointed out how he’s has been bypassing congress to send weapons to israel faster, or how he walked back the few sanctions on israeli settlers that were only for optics anyway since it was to pretend as if the state itself wasn’t behind it, but this is just the most recent shit the US is doing.

      Edit: Looks like Biden does agree with the move against the ICC too, so there’s no need to bring up all the other shit he’s done specifically.

          If you’re gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it’s about this incident specifically.

          Why go out of your way so much to try defending a fascist? Why do you have an image saved on your device to defend this piece of shit online?
