And this is creating a very dangerous precedent, where the US government shows complete disrespect of international law and provides Israel with this so-called feeling of utter impunity.
I understand that Biden should please his donors, but isn’t there a single candidate that thinks more about the humans than for the money.
And that’s why ladies and gentlemen, we the plebes outside the US don’t like the US state, because they always think they are above the law and act as such. Law should apply to everyone equally, no matter what their nationality or how fat their bank account is. Deliberately undermining the law should be punishable, and these people should seriously be ashamed of themselves by thinking they are the only one who can define what’s right and wrong!
This isn’t simply a matter of Biden pleasing his donors, nor is it really about Biden in particular. This is the liberal international order working as designed, namely that the US makes the rules and orders everyone else around. Israel is a settler-colonial project of the Western imperial core, and it has been the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia for generations. As Biden has said throughout his career, “were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.” The Hague Invasion Act has been on the books for over 20 years, so this is nothing new and has always been bipartisan.

Is this lib new world order in the room with us right now?
Are you serious?

Just to nitpick here, were decades beyond this particular precedent. It’s just particularly blatant and hard for liberals to deny right now.
International law isn’t real, never has been, and never will be until nation-state economic interests, or better yet, leaders of those states are arrested for violation.
isn’t there a single candidate that thinks more about the humans than for the money.
Yes, plenty.
Any of them that will be allowed anywhere near power?
No, none.
The US once again acting like they are the only sheriff in town pisses me off. Making Netanyahu accountable for his crimes has absolutely zero shit to do with protecting Israel. Biden should understand that. His young electors understand that.
I totally agree, I just think this is purely posturing by Blinken. Policitally, Biden is on a tightrope here. He can’t risk thumbing his nose up at Israel, and he can’t risk pissing off any more young electors as you called them by being too soft on Israel. Sanctioning the ICC members would piss off a lot of those electors.
My first thought of a response to the top level post was:
(Narrator voice) They’re not going to sanction shit here.
If anything, prosecuting him might even make Israel safer because this whole thing is serving as a recruitment campaign for Hamas or whatever replaces them if Israel manages to eliminate their current command structure.
There is no doubt that protecting this son of a bitch acts more for anti-Semitism than against
Not only does blue MAGA want me to vote for genocide, they want me to vote for genocide denial and the destruction of international law.
Okay putler

Israel has killed hundreds of times more children than Russia has in Ukraine. It’s the deadliest conflict for children in the modern world.
Hints at supporting sanctions? He’s threatened to defund the UN, the World Food Programme and ‘starve the world’ if the UN recognizes a Palestinian state.
.ml always have the most accurate geopolitical takes
This action was so fucked up and beyond my list of shitty things that the US might do that it honestly didn’t occur to me and so when reading the headline I found it confusingly phrased but thought maybe it somehow meant there was some hint of support for the ICC’s decision and warrants which would have been amazing. Imagine the rollercoaster for me when they actually managed to surprise me with a decision and stance worse than I could have imagined.
The US will do the right thing one day, after they’ve tried everything else.
Do, or do not. There is no hint.
