The United States House of Representatives has voted in favour of a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) in retaliation for its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the country’s former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.

Legislators in the lower chamber of the US Congress passed the “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act” by an overwhelming margin, 243 to 140, on Thursday in a signal of strong support for Israel.

Forty-five Democrats joined 198 Republicans in backing the bill. No Republicans voted against it.

    Protect the pedophiles. Protect the rapists. Protect the war criminals. Protect the traitors. This is the United States of America. Donald Trump’s America.

      As president, Jimmy Carter refused to recognize the legitimate government of Cambodia, instead recognizing the Khmer Rouge, who had been deposed by the (communist) Vietnamese military. We knew what bastards the Khmer Rouge were by then, but I guess it was better than recognizing the legitimacy of Vietnam. We’ve always been Trump’s America. Trump just gave us permission to drop the pretense.

    The US just decided it’s going to destroy its alliances. It’s a sight to behold I’m sure.
