    US politicians only believe in the justice system when it suits them. Lobbing 155 mm artillery shells at civilians, packed into the Gaza Ghetto, is a war crime.

    what a bunch of disgusting human beings. I think for them being a democrat or republican doesn’t really matter. Like parasites they will just latch on to whatever opportunity is available and pretend like they are a part of the system.

    “Republicans want to sanction the ICC simply because they don’t want the rules to apply to everyone,” said Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Massachusetts) on the House floor on Thursday.

    McGovern highlighted that Republicans are moving to erode human rights while ignoring urgent issues within the U.S.

    “We have a natural disaster unfolding in California right this second…. We have a gun violence epidemic, as we see massacres in our schools nearly every single day. And families are unable to make ends meet because they’re being ripped off by billionaire corporations,” said McGovern. “All those challenges, and this is what the out of touch elitist billionaire Republican party wants to waste time on. Sanctioning the ICC.”

    I liked Jim McGovern already, but I like him more, now.

    Here’s the list of voters that you can narrow down. It’s appalling. AIPAC, the pro-isrealGenocide lobby, has been pushing this, in order to shield their terrorist leader netenyahoo from punishment. The bill would not just sanction the International Criminal Court, but it’s members. They are actively trying to punish individuals across the globe, for condemning isreals genocide, using the American peoples congress as their cudgel.

    Meanwhile isreal has blocked or impeded every single humanitarian aid shipment to Gaza since October.

        Honestly, campaign on that.

        “My opponent supports genocide. They’ve received xxx,xxx dollars from AIPAC. They’re being funded by foreign interests because they put those interests before you.”

        And to any dem politicians out there thinking about it- AIPAC and Netanyahu fucked Biden. They are not your ally. They are not your friend.

            They aren’t going to be cheaper so add that line in.

            They took X amount of money from AIPAC to put foreign interests above your family affording groceries. Isn’t it time to actually focus on Americans?

          Yes, but then they’ll be accused of anti-Semitism because people don’t understand the difference between Israel and Jewish people

        Then we lose while making AIPAC spend money that would otherwise have been put towards further entrenching foreign influence.

            If their candidates are going to win either way, I would rather them have to spend money keeping them in office than use that money for genocide.

      of course that rat wasserman schultz voted for it.

      People like that make me want to believe in God, just so I’m comforted by their eventual placement in hell.
