The White House issued a brief but definitive response to the International Criminal Court’s warrants for Israeli officials, saying it “fundamentally rejects” the decision but ignored addressing the substance of the warrants.

“The United States has been clear that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over this matter. In coordination with partners, including Israel, we are discussing next steps.”

The administration of President Joe Biden has long warned against any such moves by the court after its chief prosecutor Karim Khan announced in May that he would, in fact, be seeking the arrest warrants.

In a statement at the time, Biden called the notion “outrageous”.

I mean the list of US presidents who supported Israel to the extent Biden did is pretty short.

Maybe the ICC and UN should just buy more weapons than israel. Then the shit hole country would be THEIR bitch instead of Benjamin’s… After Putin has zipped up of course…

Money and racism seems to be the only motivation for that place.

Everybody needs to remember that the US does not and never has recognized the ICC. Acknowledging this, by definition, would be giving the ICC acknowledgement and recognition of authority that would be in direct conflict with the US Constitution along with decades of US foreign policy. The US will never acknowledge anything having authority over it, explicitly or implicitly. Nor should they.

Trump would gain so much support if instead of having a kangaroo court in the us to try people for bogus crimes he simple had Biden admin officials sent out to The Hague to be tried for real crimes
