WASHINGTON, D.C. — US President Joe Biden called the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants for top Israeli leaders 'outrageous' in a statement Thursday.
Our intelligence community rebelled as much as possible several times. They even released a report telling everyone that Israel was lying. Newspapers spun it to be something that’s too vague to tell. But the “level” they assessed the Israeli claims at is actually the lowest level, completely unsupportable and/or directly contradicted by evidence. It’s certainly not high enough confidence to be used as the basis for a national strategy. At most it’s the level where you send a small team to get more evidence. Instead Biden repeated these lies every time, sometimes even after they had been publicly debuked.
USAID straight up leaked to ProPublica that they assessed a systemic war crime of blocking food aid and that they had reported this fact to Blinken, the Sec. of State, before he publicly said Israel was not committing war crimes and could receive more military aid.
It’s not the entire government, it’s 3 people. Biden who is ordering the shipments. And then Blinken and Sullivan (National Security Advisor, all intel flows through him) are rubber stamping Israeli reports and blocking any official recognition of war crimes. And this is not a case of Sullivan keeping facts from Biden. We know this because there are leaked reports of Biden being mad at Netanyahu for not doing his stuff quietly enough.
It’s fucking 2002 all over again except this time it’s a Democrat in charge of lying to the country on a massive scale.
Oh there’s a cheering section for sure. But those 3 are the ones preventing our existing laws against giving military aid to war criminals from operating. The government itself, the people who actually work in it, has been trying to sound the alarm for most of 2024.
Israel is the world leader in spyware and surveillance software. All the cameras, drones, contact-free checkpoints, and automated guns on the Gaza perimeter? IIRC, Elbit is making them on the southern US border.
Gaza, West Bank, and southern Lebanon are proof of concept for dealing with climate crisis.
Seems or entire government does. How much shady shit does isreal do for our country? Our official imports and exports don’t really look that dramatic.

It’s a whole lot more than just 3 people. Trump has already said he backs isreal and so has most of the senate, it seems. Isreal has both parties.
