Good for Pope Leo, it is disgusting how awful this war has been.
Can it even be called a war anymore?
Absolutely. War is “a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country”. It’s an armed conflict between Israel and Palestine indeed. You can give it other bigger names too but it certainly fulfills the definition of a war as well
There is an Israel - Hamas war, but that ain’t this, that’s the guerrila war fought in the ruins of Gaza.
This is is something else: as per the admition of actual IDF soldiers participating in these shootings of people trying to get food aid that they’re been ordered to shoot at civilians, this is just state sanctioned mass murder.
Everything I hear these days is just people from the Israeli army shooting people waiting for aid. Sounds more like hunting for sport tbh.
Also baiting hunting game with food probably isn’t very sporting?
