Israel has operated with impunity in the occupied territories in Palestine for decades and it is about time it is held responsible for its actions against humanity . Since its creation in 1946 the International Court of Justice (icj) has heard an average of fewer than three cases a year. Many are obscure, such as a dispute over pulp mills in Uruguay. The trial that began on January 11th, though, was one of the highest drama, when it heard arguments from South Africa that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. Do you think that the Gaza genocide case the International Court of Justice against Israel is political ?
