162. More hand-waving, no support. Try again.
I used the word "murder" because I consider armed IDF commandos shooting civilians to death to be "murder." You may use anther word, if you like.

(Most authoritarian types prefer to give soldiers of the countries they like a special pass when it comes to shooting civilians, so it's not a great surprise. Nixon-era Republicans, for example, are unlikely to use the word "murder" in reference to the Kent State shootings. I, as a liberal, call a spade a spade.)

But you still haven't proven how my use of the word "murder" conflates military-shooting-civilian deaths with non-military-shooting-civilian deaths.

:shrug:

Nor have you shown us this alleged straw man. So let's see it.
