The United States House of Representatives has voted in favour of a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) in retaliation for its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the country’s former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Legislators in the lower chamber of the US Congress passed the “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act” by an overwhelming margin, 243 to 140, on Thursday in a signal of strong support for Israel.
Forty-five Democrats joined 198 Republicans in backing the bill. No Republicans voted against it.
The US is breaking international law again

Genocide caucus.
The actual genocide caucus is much bigger than that. Just look at the votes to send more weapons to Israel.
Protect the pedophiles. Protect the rapists. Protect the war criminals. Protect the traitors. This is the United States of America. Donald Trump’s America.
As president, Jimmy Carter refused to recognize the legitimate government of Cambodia, instead recognizing the Khmer Rouge, who had been deposed by the (communist) Vietnamese military. We knew what bastards the Khmer Rouge were by then, but I guess it was better than recognizing the legitimacy of Vietnam. We’ve always been Trump’s America. Trump just gave us permission to drop the pretense.
Donald Trump’s America.
Until Jan 20 this is genocide Joe Biden’s America whether centrists want to admit it or not. The blood wont be washed away so easily.
And after Jan 20, it’ll be far, far worse.
I reviewed the votes. He didn’t have a say. He’s not in Congress. Will he sign this? I doubt it, because there is a good chance the Senate will shut it down before it gets to the president to sign. And by the time it would, the Senators who started on January 3rd, might hold it till after Jan 20th so Biden doesn’t try to veto it.
Will he sign this? I doubt it
Why on earth would you doubt it? Biden came out swinging at the ICC on this issue. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c704y7gwr95o
You honestly think Joe Biden is going to veto something the Israelis want?
Edited: Because it won’t hit his desk as I said on the following lines.
This is currently joe bidens america
With a Republican Congress.
There are 45 Democrats in the Genocide Caucus.
Democrats would need a majority of at least 46 in order for “but Republicans!” to make any sense.
Wait, are you literally saying this is all on the democrats because the democrats don’t have a majority that prevented this bill from being passed?
Meaning you’re giving republicans a 100% pass, but these 45 democrats mean all democrats are pro genocide?
That’s how it works. The standard for Republicans is that they can do whatever they want, but the standards for anyone else require absolute perfection in all things.
You may be happy that so many Democrats voted with your party on this.
I’m not.
I can only conclude you’re here in bad faith.
Good day.
OK
The US just decided it’s going to destroy its alliances. It’s a sight to behold I’m sure.
They are betting that other alliances magically emerge if you get my drift.
It’s decided on one alliance over all the others.
Sanction ? With tariffs on upcoming arrest warrants?
Disgusting
Garbage country.
Oh look, it’s the GOP decidedly not being “the same” as Democrats when it comes to this topic. Imagine that.
Just want to highlight that not a single House Republican voted against this.
