The repugnant anti-Israel activist Matt Duss is headed to the State Department. In 2016, many of America’s prominent Jewish groups fraudulently condemned President Trump’s appointment of Steve Bannon as chief strategist. Today, many of these same Jewish groups say nothing about the appointment of Matt Duss to the State Department. This likely appointment is a slap in the face to pro-Israel American Jews, and should be condemned loudly.

Possible Biden appointment Matt Duss Boosts Omar Tweet Praising Court Decision to Investigate Israeli ‘War Crimes’
By Washington Free Beacon, February 11, 2021
The Bernie Sanders aide rumored to be in line for a State Department job has refrained from tweeting for several days, but has taken the time to boost a tweet from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) praising an International Criminal Court decision to investigate Israel over alleged war crimes.
Matt Duss, who has come under fire for criticizing the Jewish state in terms that watchdog groups have called anti-Semitic, has not tweeted in five days. He “liked” Omar’s Monday tweet, however, urging the Biden administration to back the ICC’s bid to prosecute alleged Israel war crimes—an investigation that Israel and the Trump administration said is politically motivated.
“If the U.S. doesn’t support the International Criminal Court’s investigations into alleged war crimes, where should people go for recourse?” Omar wrote. “When we try to block peaceful means of pursuing justice, it undermines any claims of credibility we have on human rights.”
Duss’s recent silence on Twitter is likely related to the renewed scrutiny he has faced after Politico reported earlier this month that he was leaving the Sanders team to join the State Department.
The Washington Free Beacon has reported extensively on Duss’s ties to the anti-Israel movement and activists who promote boycotts of the Jewish state.
The ICC on Friday decided to officially investigate what it claims are Israeli war crimes committed in the West Bank and other Palestinian territories. The Israeli government, which has long boycotted the ICC over its anti-Israel bias and lack of jurisdiction to prosecute crimes, slammed the court’s decision. The Trump administration also boycotted the court and criticized its efforts to launch a probe into Israel.
Duss’s positive views of the ICC investigation could set up a conflict with others at the State Department, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who reportedly provided assurances to Israeli leaders the United States will help combat the probe. The Biden administration expressed initial concern over the court’s decision, also citing jurisdictional issues, but has yet to flatly reject its investigation.
“We have serious concerns about the ICC’s attempts to exercise its jurisdiction over Israeli personnel,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Friday, when the court first announced its decision. “The United States has always taken the position that the court’s jurisdiction should be reserved for countries that consent to it or that are referred by the U.N. Security Council.”
The Washington Free Beacon reported on Tuesday that Duss has been critical of President Joe Biden’s pro-Israel views and has bashed pro-Israel Democrats for their opposition to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.

Everyone in the Biden administration will be anti U.S., anti Israel, anti Jew, anti Christian and anti white.
For Israel, they are determined to force a two state solution on Israel and unravel Trump’s peace deal.

When will the ICC commence its investigations into war crimes committed by the pallyswines? Charging border and fences, utilization of incendiary devices, flying fire bombs, knifing innocent people … and the list is legion, for it is many.

Trump makes great headway bringing middle east states together with Israel using quiet diplomacy to bypass the Palestinian terrorist leadership and now the new administration wants to ramp up the confrontation to overturn his successful peace initiative. From here in Australia it seems the US has elected a warmongering , hate-filled government determined to disenfranchise many of its own citizens to pander to anti-Semitism, activists who despise white people and anyone who does not believe that people are ruining the world climate just because they work, move around, eat and live.
Did over 80 million of you really choose this senile muppet and his socialist lackeys to lead America?

I don’t like Duss either. But just bringing him on board doesn’t mean he will have effective power. Biden has to play politics, just as the GOP has to, and he has a fragile coalition to hold together, just as the GOP does (even with Trump’s iron fist tactics). Biden had to bring on board a few Sanders staffers to placate his left wing, just the same way the GOP has to coddle and welcome into their fold mad white supremacists who carried the Confederate battle flag into the sacred halls of the Capitol a month ago. Politics makes strange bedfellows. And think on this: if BOTH parties gave more strength to the centrists rather than to the fringes, both the Dixie flagwavers and the Sanders socialists would crawl back under the rock where they both belong. Can’t we work together to take back the center? Biden is a centrist. He deserves the support of all centrists, both to his left and to his right. Thanks.

Fake investigation, War Crimes are committed against Human Beings.
There are, as even leftists know, precisely 0 Human Beings in the whole of Africa. Therefore, committing War Crimes in Africa is mathematically impossible.
