Full statement:

The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is 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’s really willing to fuck around and let trump win…

    All he has do is chill out for 6 fucking months and keep his hands clean, but this is how he’s always responded to people challenging him.

    What sank his 88 run wasn’t the plagiarism, it was how he treated reporters that would ask him about.

    The more people that protest for him to stop funding a genocide, the more he’s going to lash out like this, and the more voters will equate him to trump.

    Which is incredibly dangerous when the most common reason for voting Biden is:

    He’s not trump

    USA: we have proof of genocide in Xinjiang, even if the local government does its best to hide it

    Also USA: genocide in Gaza? What? Bibi is such a nice guy! There’s not enough proof, video evidence and direct witnesses don’t count

      Difference is: Israel has money and is seen as part of the west.

      Remember a week or two ago when Biden feigned (the correct kind of) outrage to save his election chances? I made a meme to commemorate it

      The United States and Israel are probably the two entities least able to criticize China’s response to Islamist terrorist attacks.

      Everyone else? Uh sure, go nuts.

    Fucking Biden, you literally need to do one thing correct to beat Trump. Stop giving Israel aid. For some reason people are under the assumption that Trump wouldn’t be doing worse things for the people of Palestine, but at this point Biden’s on the hot seat. Stop calling Netan-baboon Bibi, cut off his aid and let the courts bring him to justice for his crimes against Palestine. An Israeli version of Hitler isn’t a better version of Hitler, just a repackaging. Not to mention that prior to all his actions recently the dude is an absolute piece of shit who has skirted justice in his own country for years by maintaining his vice grip on the Premiership (which is exactly the playbook Trump hopes to follow if re-elected)

      Is this true though? Don’t many liberals support Israel? Are there actual polls that show Biden would benefit from taking a stance against Israel? Genuinely asking.

        Seems to me that the people who support Israel unconditionally fall into two groups: The people who’d never vote for him no matter what he does (Republicans), and people who have no choice but to vote for him no matter what he does (Democrats). He can’t gain any votes by giving aid to Israel.

    And this is why the rules based international order was always a farce. Only third world countries need to play by the rules, while western powers just override them and do as they please.
