    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.

        In the interest of learning, the ICC is not a state actor, so what exactly is the difference in this case?

        EDIT: The sanction is actual travel and economic restrictions on members of the ICC. “Denounce” is the typical posturing. For those who care…

        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.

          If his words mean nothing then stop posting his words denouncing the ICC as proof he supports these sanctions. Let me know if he signs it.

            His words you quoted mean nothing as they are even contradicted by his earlier statement.

            If he signs it will you support a third party instead of Joe Biden?

              Ha why not. In fact I’ll go further. I just donated 200 dollars to humanitarian aid in gaza. I half thought about making it on the condition of him signing this bill, but then I thought it would be cruel for them to never receive it. It helps more than denying the reality of any differences between parties. After all of we can accept that reality why would they try to go any further?

        What does he symbolize? There’s a rather simply meaning behind my profile picture that you still fail to grasp. You got a hint yesterday.

          He symbolizes an evil tyrant. Something you apparently wanted for your avatar.

            Indeed. But what differed him from his father? I did not pick Tywin, the calm and collected tyrant. Joffrey symbolizes something very specific.

              I don’t get it and googling “Joffrey symbolizes” finds no relevant information

                Joffrey represents a crybully. He bullies people, but acts insulted when someone retaliates. Often running to mommy to whine about it.

                Now what does the helm mean again?

                Ah. I guess I was just being myopic with liberals and leftists being sort of synonymous in the US. Thanks!

                  Yep, that’s an easy mistake! Outside of Lemmy.world, the majority of Lemmy is some flavor of Marxist or Anarchist, a rejection of Capitalism for Socialism. Fascism is extremely rare on Lemmy.
