the united states has never bowed to international authority. ever.
They think they the authority.
The picture shows Biden but the text says House which is controlled by Republicans.
Very disingenuous. Not even the same branch of the government.
Don’t worry, he completely agrees with the move as you’d expect.
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.
And why would it matter if it’s a rep or dem doing something specifically? They’re the two parties of capital and instruments of the capitalist class; one cannot exist without the other. It doesn’t matter which one specifically has been doing the most recent fascist shit.
One was trying to pass a law to sanction ICC the other said it was outrageous to equate Israel with Hamas.
You know Biden is not part of the House and the House is run by Republicans, right?
Shitlibs being pedantic and trying to defend fascists is always hilarious, even if expected
I don’t know what a sHiTlIb is supposed to be here, but I do know it’s a term that conservative communities use for anyone who opposes them.

Of course shitlibs are downvoting this lmao
Shitlibs? What the hell are you?
Outside of Lemmy.world, the majority of users are leftists of various sorts.
From fascist to communist, where do shitlibs sit?
Liberals are Capitalists, so closer to fascists than Communists.
Creepy.
“Who was the most notorious sadist in popular culture again? Now… Let’s see if we can make them look more militaristic”
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?
Denouncing is different from state sanctions. How biden has implicated that he opposes this bill according to the BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero
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?
My hat off to you sir.
Way to completely miss the point. He’s obviously there cuz he’s the current US president.
If they wanted to dunk on biden specifically of course, they could’ve just pointed out how he’s has been bypassing congress to send weapons to israel faster, or how he walked back the few sanctions on israeli settlers that were only for optics anyway since it was to pretend as if the state itself wasn’t behind it, but this is just the most recent shit the US is doing.
Edit: Looks like Biden does agree with the move against the ICC too, so there’s no need to bring up all the other shit he’s done specifically.
Under the caption about something the House did…
Being pedantic and defending fascists is also very hot right now among shitlibs apparently
Replace the caption with any of the other shit biden specifically has done that they mentioned if you’re this much of a redditor
I’m all for blaming Biden for things he did.
Sanctioning the ICC is not one of them and was done by his opposition.
Dems and reps are equally part of the ruling capitalist class and are the parties of capital. There is no real “opposition” between the two aside from optics.
And as you’d expect, Biden does of course agree with this move like another user mentioned.
There absolutely is opposition between the sides.
The right wants to take away womens rights.
The left wants to take away gun rights.
Just as a quick example.
? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?
75% of Democrats voted against this
100% of Republicans voted for
Dumbfucks: bOTh siDes!
Biden does not agree with this move. Denouncing is using words and sanctions are actions. Biden has implied that he opposes this bill and his administration have stated that they do not support sanctions. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero
If you’re gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it’s about this incident specifically.

Why go out of your way so much to try defending a fascist? Why do you have an image saved on your device to defend this piece of shit online?
I’d be Ok with changing that caption, don’t blame Biden for the stupid shit the House is doing.
Linkerbaan’s article isn’t on this bill. Articles on this bill say he doesn’t support it https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero
Again denouncing and sanctioning have differences. He wags his finger, but he is against punching them down.
They probably don’t, but obfuscation gets more clicks when trolling for engagement.
“Trolling” is when you put a picture of someone with something that they agree with
Double standard when it comes to their interest.
Do you people understand how the house works? Jesus tap dancing Christ.
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.

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.
Just because he said something else critical of the ICC doesn’t mean he supports the house sanctions.
Definitely. Yet on brand for .ml
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.
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.
Come on, you can’t just expect .world users to actually read or think critically like that
For the idiots trying to defend this piece of shit and claiming this is done by biden’s “opposition” or whatever, he obviously does agree with the move.

Denounce != Sanction
Genuinely, what difference does it make? Regardless if he has done so via official legal action or not, he has made his position clear.
“It’s clear Israel wants to do all it can to ensure civilian protection,” Biden said. “Let me be clear: What’s happening is not genocide.”
