A bit disingenuous to put a picture of the head of the executive branch under a comment about a legislative body’s passed bill.

He agrees with it like you'd expect so no need to worry.

Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas

The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials and Hamas leaders, saying the court’s efforts put the terrorist organization and a top US ally on equivalent footing.

Regardless, he is the face of the US empire right now. Makes sense to have his pic when the US is doing something again

Definitely. Yet on brand for .ml

You do realize Biden has announced his support for denouncing the ICC for this very action by the House right? He absolutely should be held to account for it.

EDIT: Ok pedants, Sanction and 'denounce' are not the same - I get it. One has actual limitations preventing us from interacting with the people who don't even want to come here anyway.

Come on, you can't just expect .world users to actually read or think critically like that

You know Biden is not part of the House and the House is run by Republicans, right?

Way to completely miss the point. He's obviously there cuz he's the current US president.

If they wanted to dunk on biden specifically of course, they could've just pointed out how he's has been bypassing congress to send weapons to israel faster, or how he walked back the few sanctions on israeli settlers that were only for optics anyway since it was to pretend as if the state itself wasn't behind it, but this is just the most recent shit the US is doing.

Edit: Looks like Biden does agree with the move against the ICC too, so there's no need to bring up all the other shit he's done specifically.

Under the caption about something the House did...

If you're gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it's about this incident specifically.

Why go out of your way so much to try defending a fascist? Why do you have an image saved on your device to defend this piece of shit online?

[–] Sagittarii@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Being pedantic and defending fascists is also very hot right now among shitlibs apparently

Replace the caption with any of the other shit biden specifically has done that they mentioned if you're this much of a redditor

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm all for blaming Biden for things he did.

Sanctioning the ICC is not one of them and was done by his opposition.

[–] Sagittarii@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Dems and reps are equally part of the ruling capitalist class and are the parties of capital. There is no real "opposition" between the two aside from optics.

And as you'd expect, Biden does of course agree with this move like another user mentioned.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There absolutely is opposition between the sides.

The right wants to take away womens rights.

The left wants to take away gun rights.

Just as a quick example.

[–] Sagittarii@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?
