"War"

I think it is playing into the cards of Israel to call their satanical attacks on the Palestinian people a "war". A war is a violent act involving two (or more) parties of uniformed combatants and has to be fought according strict rules, one of which is to prohibit the killing of civilians and never ever target civilians. Some incidental civilian deaths, euphemistically called "collateral damage" is almost unavoidable and somehow 'acceptable', but in the case of Gaza nothing of the kind is the case.

The 'war' in Gaza is not nor has it ever been a war and should not be called like that as it implies rules are upheld and Israel is playing by the book.

If one wants to call the October 7 jailbreak a terrorist attack what else then is the 2.5 years of utterly disproportionate horror but the summum of terrorism? Again, it is nót a war.

It is't a war it is a genocide. Did Nazis have more "humanity" Were children gassed as a priority? Were children maimed on a large scale? The videos of Israeli atrocities were not matched by publication of Gestapo actions for the world to see. Were reporters and health workers singled out for being killed or held in hell holes indefinitely without charge?

I'm terribly sorry for my rotten country, the arms supplier and partner in this genocide.
