What do you call indescrimate shooting at civilians in the hope to kill terrorists, the systematic displacement of civilians, the cutting off of crucial infrastructure and aid?
I really would love to ask Biden that.
I'm pro-Palestine, I think what Israel is doing in Gaza is definitely a genocide, but seriously, what do you think would happen from a geopolitical standpoint if Biden said "yeah, I think the ICC is right, please stop this genocide Bibi"? The US can't afford to lose Israel as an ally so it needs to be subtle.
Counterpoint: it's an election year and Biden does not want to lose the Jewish Dem vote.
The system is fucked.
That too
