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.
Regardless, he is the face of the US empire right now. Makes sense to have his pic when the US is doing something again
Except Biden put out a statement opposing this legislation:
The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 8282, the “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act.” H.R. 8282 would impose mandatory sanctions and visa restrictions on any foreign person determined to aid, materially assist, or provide financial support for efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to undertake certain investigations and prosecutions, among others. This legislation could require sanctions against court staff, judges, witnesses, and U.S. allies and partners who provide even limited, targeted support to the court in a range of aspects of its work.
The Administration is deeply concerned about the ICC Prosecutor’s heedless rush to apply for arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials. At the same time, the Administration opposes the imposition of sanctions against the ICC, its personnel, its judges, or those who assist its work. There are more effective ways to defend Israel, preserve U.S. positions on the ICC, and promote international justice and accountability, and the Administration stands ready to work with the Congress on those options.
You do realize Biden has announced his support for denouncing the ICC for this very action by the House right? He absolutely should be held to account for it.
EDIT: Ok pedants, Sanction and ‘denounce’ are not the same - I get it. One has actual limitations preventing us from interacting with the people who don’t even want to come here anyway.
A bit disingenuous to put a picture of the head of the executive branch under a comment about a legislative body’s passed bill.
He agrees with it like you’d expect so no need to worry.

Just because he said something else critical of the ICC doesn’t mean he supports the house sanctions.
Definitely. Yet on brand for .ml

Come on, you can’t just expect .world users to actually read or think critically like that
They all behave like sovcit level nuttiness?
It’s not as bad as the shitlibs on .world at least
Or on literature.cafe apparently?
No offense, but it’s hard to take anything said seriously when a very vocal group of you are preemptively jumping to a derogatory term.
