The arrest warrant isn't for genocide. It isn't mentioned at all. It's about mass killing and using starvation as a weapon of war. Joe and his team obviously knew that before issuing the statement, so this must be intentional misrepresentation. So if anyone is under the impression that the US is just a neutral and unbiased third party; here's a clear cut example of them lying to support the Netanyahu government.

I doubt anyone ever thought the Us was unbiased in Israel-Palestine.

One of the first the americans started blaming for 9/11 before it was revealed to be Al-Qaeda was Palestine.

Let me put it another way: There are lots of people who believe that the US and co are at least fair on this issue. It's worth assuming that for every narrative and impression given by the media there will be people who accept them.

So I think there's a lot of utility in putting yourself in that frame of mind and then thinking: ' If I believed this, what would make me question it? '
