    Oh my god. Everyone just download the “no thanks” app and sanction Israel so they no longer have the financial means to bribe the us government to support its genocide.

      I looked at it and despaired how intertwined Israel is in the global economy. A full boycott will be a real sacrifice. You’d be surprised how wide ranging their influence is.

        Yeah, you’d pretty much have to avoid whole categories of products, and be primarily thinking about Israel any time you shop.

    Rules for Vlad, but none for Bibi? What a joke.

    They aren’t even waiting to hear out the case put forth to the judicial tripartite before threatening ‘rebuke’ or sanctions

    The US is ready to nuke what’s left of international law in order to protect a couple of criminals.

    That are ready to bring us back to the era of the League of Nations just so that Bibi fucking Netanyahu doesn’t go to trial.

    Canada, the EU, and a bunch of other Western countries are signatories to the treaty of Rome. What do they have to say about this bullying behaviour of the US government?

      The US nuking international law to protect a handful of criminals has been a matter of explicit policy since the Hague Invasion Act of 2002.

      Yes, warcrime enthusiasts, I know it has a PR-friendly name that you would rather I use, but I’m not going to do your whitewashing for you. Cry about it.

    Yea, US, can you just fucking not be a petulant child.

    Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said the court’s allegations are “significant” and the US must support its work as it has done on past occasions, including in the case of Libya.

    “The application for arrest warrants is merely the beginning of a judicial process,” she wrote in a statement on Monday.

    “The ICC has been a functioning court – it has seen convictions, acquittals, and dismissals, as we would expect from an impartial and non-political judicial body.”

    Only clear headed response in the article.
