They are talking about the ICC. I wonder how all this would play out on the ground.
The International Criminal Court is a "court of last resort" intended for those who lack the ability to prosecute war crimes in their own nations, whether due to lack of recourse or lack of infrastructure.
As such it's supported by the majority of nations. But the US does not recognise or support it, and even passed the Hague invasion act which stipulates that the US gives itself authority to literally attack the ICC if it attempts to try any US soldier or official for war crimes.
unconditional
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
- There, Biden reiterated his administration’s unwavering support for Israel
  His words.
  
  Biden pledged unwavering support for Israel's security.
  That is not the same as unconditional support for Israel.
  After all, the US government is also fully committed to the security of former President Trump, but otherwise does not support him at all. In fact, some in government are thinking about how to keep him secure in a prison cell.
Well, that's certainly a hot take
- Are any people downvoting it?
  I'm on kbin and we don't federate downvotes so unless actual kbinners downvote something, I don't see it.
  
  I hope that gets changed when the next update finally goes out
May?
- I think they mean in legal terms. It would have to be established that they provide them with material support or facilitation.
  Edit in case this isn't clear, the above sentence is about explaining the point made by the lawyers in the article about international law.
  In my personal opinion the US has been complicit in everything Israel does in this context, and "soft power" is part of that as well as material aid.
  
  You sound like a spineless dolt.
  There is a vetted plan submitted to the federal government asking for 30 billion dollars to END homeless in America.
  End it.
  Our "democrat" progressive overlord just sent 50 billion dollars to Israel to blow up innocent people.
  Stop with your bullshit.
  Trump is HORRIBLE. Biden has been sickeningly absent, but now Biden is HORRIBLE.
  Why? Because they both are The Party, and The Party is HORRIBLE. And if you aren't a millionaire+, you aren't a part of The Party. You just cook their meals, drive their cars, landscape their properties, and get the back hand if you call out their bullshit.
