More Nations Join 'Genocide' Case, US Still 'Deeply Concerned'
Belgium has officially joined the growing list of nations supporting South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. This follows similar stances from Brazil, Colombia, and Turkey, yet US media largely sidelines these international efforts, preferring the 'Israel's right to defend itself' narrative. Meanwhile, Senators like Bob Menendez (who faced federal bribery
charges but still holds power) received $27,000 from pro-Israel PACs in Q4 2023 alone (OpenSecrets.org), while voting to send billions more in unconditional aid. Despite mounting evidence of civilian casualties and a direct ICJ order to prevent genocide, the Biden administration still labels the situation as 'complex' and expresses 'deep concern.' One might wonder how many international legal
indictments it takes for 'concern' to evolve into 'accountability,' especially when US political careers are bankrolled by groups actively lobbying against such accountability.
