From the bully pulpit

If you’ve watched the news anytime in the last few days, you’ve probably seen President Biden telling us what’s going on in Gaza isn’t a genocide.

He clearly alleged this is what the International Criminal Court is charging Israel’s Prime Minister and Minister of defense with and he rejects the court’s assertion of a genocide.

If you take a closer look, the ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leadership did not say anything about a genocide. From Commondreams.org:

The Israeli officials are charged with starving the civilian population, blowing up the civilian population, exterminating the civilian population….

In each case the officials are being charged for their specific actions.

The Israeli officials are not charged with genocide by the ICC, contrary to what Mr. Biden alleged.
