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.

    The cognitive dissonance of the US and its president are so glaring. I kind of agree, insomuch as comparing Hamas to the exponential evil of Israel is offensive. Israel created the deteriorating conditions that birthed Hamas through genocide, and then punished the Palestinians with more genocide.

    Hamas. Pretty evil. Netanyahu’s govt. Also pretty evil.

    Both had alternatives. Both chose the most violent and hateful paths.

    I don’t think the ICC has any chance of success, but they are right to try.

      Netanyahu’s govt is more evil, if you just go by bodycount of innocents, and methods of murder. Hamas hasn’t starved any children.

    Good thing the ICC is independent of the UNSC and doesn’t give a shit.
