 THE ICC MUST BE PUNISHED BY OUR GOVERNMENT

The ICC is a corrupt, hard-left extremist, antisemitic farce that must be severely sanctioned by our government for the outrageous and appalling assault on Israel's prime minister and the entire Israeli government with these Stalinist-like arrest warrants. How dare Israel defend itself against Iranian-funded and armed terrorists -- Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Palestinian Authority, and scores of other murderous blood-lust groups, who committed heinous genocidal acts against Israeli citizens and declare daily their intention to exterminate the Jews in the Holy Land.

The Republican House has already acted to punish the ICC, but their bill has been stonewalled by Chuck Schumer, who we've been told is the first Jew to serve as Senate majority leader.  With Jews like Schumer, who needs Israeli enemies.  In fact, yesterday, 18 Senate Democrats voted to strip $20 billion of weapons sales to Israel that had already been approved, that would have ensured that Israel could not defend its people against Iran and its proxies -- which the Biden regime has been funding with some $200 billion in direct payments and sanctions relief
