WASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday slammed the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the move “outrageous”.
“And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.” Biden said in a statement.
His top aide Secretary of State Antony Blinken also criticized the move, raising questions over the court’s jurisdiction as well as its process in making this application. He added that it could jeopardize negotiations to achieve a hostage deal and a ceasefire.
If you’re wondering why:
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee delivered more than $3.7 million in November to the campaigns of U.S. lawmakers, the most it has ever doled out in a single month, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission.

3.7 million in the month after the attack across the board to both parties.
4.2 million to Biden since 1990, over a million more than second place,

You may recognize number 2 as the guy with closest full of gold currently under FBI investigation, 3 as one of the least popular presidential candidates in America history. And then party leaders from both sides of the aisle.
Our government was bought and paid for, now Israel is calling in it’s debts
The tail is wagging the dog. This is the natural growth of the military industrial complex
That is money the US gave Israel in the first place for the purpose of imperialism, a portion coming back to fund the campaigns of politicians that further enable that is a facet of that.
The only outrage is that it didn’t happen sooner.

So I agree with the statement that the state of Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas are not equivalent. That doesn’t mean both can’t be committing evil, criminal acts. Both are embracing evil tactics in this fight.
Of course an aggressor terrorist organization is not equivalent with a legitimate nation defending itself from attack. But when the nation goes on to commit terrible evil, even in the name of self-defense, that deserves to be answered with justice.
Pro-genocide down-voters cordially invited to fuck themselves with a fork sideways.
Except Israel isn’t a legitimate nation, they’re a colonialist apartheid state
I guess one can quibble about the definition of legitimate, but it is the elected representative government of a population. That’s a far cry from a terrorist organization.
Hamas is also the elected representative government of a population. Not recently elected mind you, but they were elected
here is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas.
A week ago he is saying that Israel may have used bombs to commit human rights violations, suddenly that evidence doesn’t exist?
Is the dementia hitting Biden that hard?
Exclusive footage of Biden realizing that the bombs he was sending to a bunch of genocidal maniacs might be used to commit genocide:
Hamas regularly shoots rockets at schools and hospitals, for decades now. But you hit back and suddenly it’s “both sides”
If you go back in history more then Oct 7. You’ll find a lot of questions… like…
-
That 4 billion we sent to Israel… that was supposed to go to defense from attacks such as this… where did it go?
-
Why were the guards not even in armor before Hamas descended on them, even though there was an early warning?
-
How did a government that was warned of the attack a month before it happened decide to do nothing about it?
-
Why is Israel’s tactics not reflecting a hostage situation and more of a scorched-earth policy?
-
Why did Israel shoot their own hostages that were waving White flags?
It’s not Israel’s pursuit of justice that disgusts people, it’s Israel’s deplorable tactics that is embarrassing both the US and Israel. Only Israel… doesn’t seemed to ashamed of them… While the US is burning global goodwill by the megaton.
So yes, both sides.
-
Outrageous they haven’t done it sooner?
He’s correct. There is no comparison between Israel and Hamas.
Israel has much more blood on its hands.
Literally the meme where he’s asking if he might be wrong, but decides that no, the it’s everyone else that is wrong.
Biden can suck a left nut. It’s past time there be consequences.
