No it doesn't, the government of Israel is giving the orders, and therefore it's not murder. Governments can't murder, there are other words that describe when a government kills people.

You can't read full sentences clearly.

Do you prefer the term "war crime"?

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

CBC has used other words, including war crime. That's kinda the point.

They have specific journalistic ways of describing things in many different contexts. https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/vision/governance/journalistic-standards-and-practices

I quoted the dictionary definition of murder above. Can you point to the part that says governments can't murder?
