    Why?

    Because Iran is a Russian ally and Russian proxy.

    Biden is doing this - he is threatening the ICC and ICJ

    No, he isn’t. Where in the world are you getting the idea that he’s literally “threatening” either?

    Biden is not doing this. We have not stopped weapon shipments and have clearly been unable (more like unwilling) to stop or prevent Israel’s genocide

    Dude, we temporarily halted shipments earlier this month to put pressure on Netanyahu. Were you sleeping?

    Also, Israel is not our ally. Their geopolitical interests align with Putin. Which is why they are trying to get Trump elected so that they can destroy the remnants of the “rules based international order” and begin in earnest their conquest of Greater Israel

    Netanyahu’s interests may align with Putin, but only insofar as both seem hell-bent on destabilizing the region. Putin would gladly let Iran stroll right into Israel and slaughter everyone in it. Israel’s own actual interests do not remotely align with Putin’s.

      Yes, but why does that mean stopping US weapons shipments to Israel would cause Iran to invade/attack/etc? Israel has a huge weapons stockpile and is still a Western ally - they just happen to be committing genocide with American funds and bombs.

      “The administration of President Joe Biden will work with Congress on possible sanctions against the International Criminal Court after its prosecutor announced it was seeking arrest warrants for senior Israeli and Hamas officials, US secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.”

      we temporarily halted shipments earlier this month to put pressure on Netanyahu

      We resumed those shipments and funds, and Israel has since crossed Biden’s red line and attacked Rafah

      Netanyahu’s interests may align with Putin

      Netanyahu/Likud are dictators who control Israel. Until he/they are removed, their interests are Israel’s interests. Which means that Israel is a Russian asset with a stranglehold on American funds thanks to AIPAC
