At least five more Palestinians on Tuesday morning were killed as a result of the Israeli strikes targeting displaced people's tents in areas across the war-devastated Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinian state news agency Wafa, three of the civilians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli strike on a tent for the displaced in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
When can we start to use the word murdered rather than just killed in all reports.
The IDF are constantly claiming that the target had Hamas operatives but does not seem to provide evidence, Rules of engagement are clear about avoiding civilian casualties too.

Bothers me a bit too.
If you always use the word murdered, you can't use it when Israel does something "really bad" (i find "died" even worse when I read that).
When the IDF executes rescue workers by firing squad and then buries their bodies, for example, you need the word “murdered” to make the crime seem special, because even for the IDF this is more extreme than its otherwise cowardly bombings of women and children while they sleep in schools.
I agree, but the west is blind, and hides behind self defense as a reason for this happening, people are too scared to question this, due to fear of being accused of antisemitism.
As with other discussions on here, we can conclude that facists use fear as a means of control.
We can discuss here, as we are intelligent, able to talk and have rational conversations and discussions, we ask the hard questions, and see both sides of the argument or debate, and change our views accordingly.
Facebook et al would have stopped the conversation at the first post.

The term anti-Semitism is completely trivialized by its constant use and has almost lost its original meaning.
I am currently observing on YouTube and elsewhere that many right-wing extremists and MAGA people in the US are turning away from Israel and back to Nazism. This is happening because they associate Israel with the current censorship and no longer see Israel as friendly.
I think this development will only benefit Israel, and not the Jewish people.
I agree it is a worrying trend, one that will be upon us by the time we realise what has haopened, We have sleepwalked in to a MAGA presendency as it is, and don't see a problem with Musk calling the shots and a deadly measles outbreak growing daily due to I guess lack of vaccindation.
The current israel governmetn is not representative of jews generally you can see that with the Anti Netanyahu protests, people just want their friends, family back. But that is clear generally. Just not reported.
Israel has a hardlined government, and I agree this will just make it stronger, but it will need to dig heels in, in order to survive in the current form. If I understand things properly Netenyah is facing corruption charges and one of the reasons he wants to cling to power, is so he does not have to appear before a judge on these and other charges, now there is an arrest warrent for him, it will be interesting to see how any court responds when that day comes.
The fact people are worried about speaking out will also empower the far right to do what they want anywhere, we see Trump just trashing the US constitution with impunity, which makes me wonder how well do Americans even under stand their own laws and constitution, social media and mainstream media are just playing the same game to keep what is happening hidden.
Given what is going on in Gaza, everyone can see it is a human tradgedy, and I guess no one wants to be seen supporting such disproportionate actions by israel, esp as there are rules of engagement. The civilian cost is far to high.
@zleap
It should never have come this far!
