    Don’t worry, he completely agrees with the move as you’d expect.

    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.

    And why would it matter if it’s a rep or dem doing something specifically? They’re the two parties of capital and instruments of the capitalist class; one cannot exist without the other. It doesn’t matter which one specifically has been doing the most recent fascist shit.











  • They won’t, not now anyway. The Soviet Union went as far as to fund wars against “israel”, but China is clearly far more interested in Socialism In One Country and forming amicable ties with the rest of the world — including the capitalist shitstates — rather than spreading socialism like the USSR did.

    Not necessarily a bad thing since I understand where they’re coming from (and we know which of the two have managed to prevent a capitalist counter-revolution), but god I wish they did a bit more sometimes.

    Genuinely aggressive Chinese sanctions on “israel” would cripple it in months combined with Palestinian resistance, but it also would create hostility with the US, signal to the Global South that they’re willing to sanction states that don’t do what China wants like the US does, and damage their reputation of being a peaceful superpower that they’ve been building for the last few decades.
