What the fuck is it with people thinking that because israel is a jewish state, that every single bad thing they do should be excused because its jewish? Its so fucking exhausting!
Stop mass murdering innocent people. Asking that is not anti semitic.
Also, nethanyahu is not israel. He is in charge and is doing horrible things. Calling the cunt out on that is not "hating a jewish state". Fuck me biden is daft...
I'll hold weapon shipments because I think Israel is bombarding civilians, but I will not stand for people accusing them of war crimes.
Is it just me or would it be way, waaay easier to just throw them under the bus completely? Biden could end the protests, avoid this absolutely ridiculous balancing act, and, if an all out war breaks out after Israel loses his political support, the US could still sell them weapons.
I'm not saying this is the best course of action, but what he does seems kinda irrational. Feels like it's nothing but hurting his chances in the election.
Sounds like in an attempt to rid the United States from accountability as coconspirator to the genocide of Palestinians, they are also setting themselves up to have no voice on the international stage.
Why should the world look up to the opinion of genocidal tyrants?
Yes, Democrats, let’s make certain we do literally everything possible to hand Trump another win and avoid all accountability for being the crooked piece of shit he is — all for Israel.
Wow.
Maybe one day Democratic leadership will understand that it’s really not a good idea to piss off their voter base — since voters, even Democrats, will vote against their party candidate just to spite them and damn the consequences.
Spending political capital we don't have on a foreign country that's milking us...
Because otherwise Netanyahu is going to intervene in the US election however he can get away with. But he's going to do it regardless, so why kowtow?
Biden has come a long way from the good old days of "Diamond Joe". I'm so disappointed in him for how he's handling this.
That's a strange response when they claim they don't recognize the court.
Either sign on to the agreement and file a motion in opposition, or refuse to recognize the court and ignore it, like a responsible adult.
They are acting like a baby having a temper tantrum. Grow up.
That is the only way the rich and powerful know how to act. Because ultimately, might makes right under capitalism.
The US government has never been supportive of the ICC.
And has always been a strong supporter of Israel no matter what they are doing.
Except when the ICC announced Putin as a violator. Biden and Blinken were very happy and supportive of the ICC when that happened. The two of them even said at the time that the ICC has the international rule of law on its side and all signatories should follow its arrest requirements.
Fuck Biden.
Fuck Blicken.
I hope you both suffer like the Palestinians are suffering.
~~Arguably, Biden has...~~
Ehh, I don't really agree with my own statement. Yes, Biden has suffered loss more than most of us. It's not on the scale of what Israel is doing to Palestine though.
“It’s a rogue prosecutor who’s out to demonise the one and only Jewish state,” he added.
Which is it, American man? Is the separation of church and state the ultimate ideal, or is it that theocratic states are sacrosanct?
Also, that claim is hilarious, because the ICC prosecutor was a very strong supporter of Israel and an arguable Zionist prior to this. It's actually why some are concerned he's going to purposefully mess up this whole thing.
Is the "he" here not Netanyahu? If so, you can be certain he does not care about separation of church and state.
Separation of church and state is just a fairy tale we use in the US to indoctrinate our children into believing we're a good nation. Just like the right to assemble, the right to a fair trial, the abolishment of slavery, and that we're a functioning democracy.
