The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a ruling that effectively puts Israel on trial for genocide, a move that has been described as a significant defeat for the country. Opinion pieces by Jonathan K. Cook and Tarik Cyril Amar reflect on the ruling, with Cook suggesting that the decision is a blow to Israel's long-standing impunity and Amar condemning the timing of the decision, which coincided with International Holocaust Remembrance Day, as a travesty of justice. The case at the ICJ is seen by some as setting a precedent in international law.
