The Joe Biden administration will work with Congress on possible sanctions against the International Criminal Court after its prosecutor announced it was seeking arrest warrants for senior Israeli and Hamas officials, US secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.
[…]
Blinken’s openness to bipartisan co-operation over the ICC is a sign of the level of anger in Washington over its request for arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Yoav Gallant.
[…]
The sanctions could be similar to those imposed by the Trump administration on the ICC’s then chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and the court’s head of jurisdiction Phakiso Mochochoko for their investigation into alleged US war crimes in Afghanistan. The sanctions froze their American assets and banned their travel to the US. The Biden administration has not yet indicated what kind of sanctions it would support.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham praised Schumer’s response to the ICC warrant application and urged him “to follow strong words with strong deeds”.
“It is imperative that the Senate, in a bipartisan way, comes up with crippling sanctions against the ICC — not only to support Israel but to deter any future action against American personnel,” Graham said.
In an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday, Netanyahu said his response to the ICC’s announcement was “no different from what President Biden said, this is outrageous and many people across the political spectrum in the United States . . . have called it exactly that”.
“It’s a rogue prosecutor who’s out to demonise the one and only Jewish state,” he added.
Yes, Democrats, let’s make certain we do literally everything possible to hand Trump another win and avoid all accountability for being the crooked piece of shit he is — all for Israel.
Wow.
Maybe one day Democratic leadership will understand that it’s really not a good idea to piss off their voter base — since voters, even Democrats, will vote against their party candidate just to spite them and damn the consequences.
“It’s a rogue prosecutor who’s out to demonise the one and only Jewish state,” he added.
Which is it, American man? Is the separation of church and state the ultimate ideal, or is it that theocratic states are sacrosanct?
Separation of church and state is just a fairy tale we use in the US to indoctrinate our children into believing we’re a good nation. Just like the right to assemble, the right to a fair trial, the abolishment of slavery, and that we’re a functioning democracy.
