US criticism of S Africa's genocide case is meritless, counterproductive & baseless: Marwan Bishara

The lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague drew criticism from the United States on Wednesday. White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby dismissed the submission, labelling it as meritless, counterproductive, and lacking any factual basis. Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara criticizes John Kirby's brief dismissal of South Africa's genocide case against Israel, emphasizing the thoroughness of the 84-page document. Marwan perceives Kirby's response as disrespectful and lacking diplomatic courtesy, asserting that South Africa and the academic community deserve more acknowledgement. Marwan also questions the US stance on the Gaza death toll, expressing concerns about the intent behind Israeli actions targeting civilians and infrastructure.
