Forty-five congressional Democrats on Thursday voted with the U.S. House of Representatives’ Republican majority in favor of legislation to sanction International Criminal Court officials following the tribunal’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and his former defense chief for alleged crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Amnesty International USA called the vote “deeply disappointing.”

Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden has condemned the ICC’s effort to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant—who despite being a fugitive from justice was warmly welcomed at the White House last month.

We should just call it like it is and refer to Democrats as 'Lesser Republicans'

We have two right wing parties in the US. They pretend to oppose each other in public, yet they both take bribes and marching orders from the same rich donors.
