US again confirms its lawlessness and contempt for international law
The United States Congress has voted in favour of sanctioning the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a bid to shield war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant from justice.
Members of the House of Representatives passed the “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act” by 243 votes to 140 yesterday, again confirming that the US, like its hangers-on in the UK, consider international law a tool to use against nations they dislike rather than as a binding system governing all national conduct. The US even has a statute in place ‘allowing’ it to invade the Hague to rescue war criminals like Netanyahu if they are put on trial.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has slaughtered more than 200,000 Palestinian civilians, overwhelmingly women and children and using starvation as a weapon against two million more after flattening almost all living spaces and forcing Palestinians to huddle in tents at best during harsh winter weather. The occupation regime murders and maims dozens of children daily, yet it and its allies expect it to continue to enjoy impunity, joining in its guilt of mass murder and crimes against humanity.

Only the other day, Biden, Blinken(and, I suppose, Nod was in there somewhere) declared a Genocide – in Sudan.
Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Raphael Lemkin – and all the Allied Forces who took part in the liberation of the Nazi extermination camps – spit in the faces of these morons.
Genocide is now a mere opinion, invoked selectively by politicians, not a legal definition declared by judges. These balls on these guys!

International law is dead, now replaced by ‘the Rules based order’ i.e. The US makes the rules, everybody else must follow those rules. OR ELSE. Professor Glenn Diesen explains what this means in an excellent article below.
“The so-called “rules-based international order” aims to facilitate a hegemonic world, which entails displacing international law. While international law is based on equal sovereignty for all states, the rules-based international order upholds hegemony on the principle of sovereign inequality”. https://braveneweurope.com/glenn-diesen-the-case-for-dismantling-the-rules-based-international-order
The USA yet again shames humanity. What a surprise!
I see if it’s true but you then decide it’s not true you crush it showing that dam lies persist your government is now a dictatorship we now seeing the devil’s at work
Just a thought
If I was the ICC I would issue a couple of arrest warrents on Genocide Joe and Blinken before Trumptons inauguration
Works on a number of levels
