A US-based nonprofit organization has urged the international criminal court to investigate former president Joe Biden and two of his cabinet members for complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The request, submitted by the Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn) last month but made public by the group on Monday, urges the ICC to investigate Biden, as well as former secretary of state Antony Blinken and former defense secretary Lloyd Austin, for their “accessorial roles in aiding and abetting, as well as intentionally contributing to, Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza”.
Dawn’s 172-page submission, which the group says was prepared with the support of ICC-registered lawyers and other war crimes experts, alleges that the former US officials violated articles of the Rome statute, the court’s founding charter, in their support for Israel.
There is an overton window which is normally shifted right by the Republicans. Democrats took such a massive leap to the right under Biden by supporting a genocide that it has become fully normalized.
Trump would have taken such massive flak for it. But Biden used his election season to hush opposition and force them to accept genocide or concede the election.
Trump literally already supported the single state genocide solution in his previous term, and Biden never once supported single state.
Ya’ll are just bad actors trying to dissuade people from voting for progress.
Illegally giving arms to genociders doesn’t feel like progress.
But I should know that the US will always support a genocide if they can make a buck.
Fuck this country.
Talking about dishonesty while making the most dishonest arguments.
