The White House and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) have come out against reports that the International Criminal Court is considering issuing arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, a rare moment of unity between both sides.

The Biden administration has also come out against any plans to arrest Israeli leaders, with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stating during the White House press briefing on Monday that the Biden administration does not believe the ICC has the jurisdiction to issue warrants and does not support the ICC's investigation.

Finally, the two parties are coming together to get something done 😌

I feel like the only times in my life I've ever seen the twin capitalist parties in this shithole united is when they're either doing something completely meaningless or utterly dispicable

One of the few axioms from my libertarian phrase that is actually kinda true: “when democrats and republicans agree on something, the rest of us are getting screwed”.

I'd love to see them find a way to use the Hague Invasion Act for Bibi.

He's got roots here. He went to MIT and Harvard.

Yeah he went to high school in a suburb of Philadelphia.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

He either got shoved into too many lockers, or not enough.

Netanyahu should be in jail for stuff that even the avg Israeli would take issue with (corruption), let alone the genocide stuff that they don't take issue with.

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

He’s going to get locked up for something. Is he smart enough to figure out he could take a year of house arrest for the Israeli corruption charges, or is he enough of a power hungry narcissist to show up at the UN with a poster board and get whisked off to The Hague.

Everyone under 45 is standing together in not voting for Biden, so go right ahead with that I guess.

[–] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I saw that thread too, but this narrative is such cope. I want to see it as much as anyone, and we are making progress, but idk how people got from "biden's polling dropped a good few points, this will probably cost him the election" to "nobody under 45 is going to vote for biden". I still think younger people who can't be cowed into voting for biden by the time november rolls around are in the minority (though it's incredibly heartening to see that minority grow by the day.)

[–] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think you’re wrong, but a couple things to note:

1.) Given the narrow margins of victory in swing states, even a relatively small number of potential Biden voters staying home can swing the election.

2.) Do not underestimate the power of a label sticking to a president. I saw this happen to W in his second term. Of course most young people weren’t actively against the Iraq invasion and thus hated W. But eventually, this notion of “Bush lied, people died” seeped into the collective conscious of younger Americans, and any association with W became absolutely toxic. If Biden loses, it’s not from people like us who frankly weren’t going to vote for him anyway. It’s going to be from very casual voters who may have voted for Biden because they didn’t like Trump or whatever, but now that Biden is associated with actively supporting a genocide, voting for Biden feels “uncool”. And you only need that to affect a relatively small number of people to influence an election.

[–] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

the point about bush is a very good one. Pretty sure some of my relatives are literally only democrats because of how deeply the "bush lied" stuff stuck. They're shitlibs, but young people who are already tending left may be radicalized rather than begrudgingly voting more liberal.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah I was being hyperbolic for sure, but Biden's insistence on continuing to carry out a deeply unpopular genocide and his refusal to budge in his unconditional support for Israel is destroying his popularity with almost everyone, and I think he is going to get demolished in November because of it.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

he's going to make Mondale look like a winner

Oh look, the bipartisanship that brings the abhorrent states of America together.

Pushing him left.

Wonder if they're going to invade the Netherlands if the ICJ ever gets hold of the bastard.

[–] robinnn@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What? I thought Biden was desperately trying to get Netanyahu out of power, but he couldn't because he needed the support of Congress.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago (1 children)

got your nose biden-alert

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

Bibi supports trump, Biden supports Bibi. Therefore a vote for Biden is a vote for trump

You know you're on the right side of history when you're first line of defense isn't "he didn't do it" or "he was right in doing it" but rather "ackshually there is this technicality that could let him off..."

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

Remember when libs hated Johnson?

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 5 months ago

“Such a lawless action by the ICC would directly undermine U.S. national security interests,” Johnson said in a statement on Monday. “If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel, thereby endangering our country's sovereign authority.”

I am going fucking crazy.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 5 months ago

So their plan is to change nothing, but use Netanyahu as the fall guy and claim that they stopped the "bad guy" therefore everyone has to stop complaining about the genocide (which will not stop)

Biden can't even pretend to be upset that he's facilitating a genocide anymore and I'm supposed to think this is harm reduction?
