Warren was asked about a ruling from the International Court of Justice that found it was “plausible” Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza, and about her own opinion on the matter. A spokesperson for Warren said in a statement to POLITICO Monday that the senator “commented on the ongoing legal process at the International Court of Justice, not sharing her views on whether genocide is occurring in Gaza.”

Warren has faced pressure from her left flank since the start of the crisis in Gaza. The progressive senator initially voiced full-throated support for Israel in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. But as international criticism built over Israel’s military response, far-left groups began protesting outside of her offices and Cambridge home, calling on her to advocate for a lasting cease-fire in Gaza and to stop further U.S. military aid to Israel.

    Biden is the major player in setting US foreign policy along with his cabinet and congress.

    Bernie Sanders has been vocal about the atrocities committed by Israel, and would have been the nominee twice if he wasn’t fucked over by the party. I feel like he would have done an infinitely better job tackling the problems of the world today.

    I’m glad Biden is talking about student loan relief, but overall he has been the disappointment I expected him to be. Yes he is better than the alternative, but that doesn’t mean he is doing a great job.

      Yeah that’s fair. 100% agreed on all fronts. He’s been talking about this since decades ago, too.

      You know he’s doing more than talking about it, right?
