    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.

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

        If we’re being technical, then it’s the one you crossed out that says

        Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.

        Because CBC is using murder as a legal definition, not common parlance, and it doesn’t fit the legal definition of murder. But I get it, you don’t want technicalities.

          But I get it, you don’t want technicalities.

          I don’t want FUCKING LEGAL DEFINITIONS in a FUCKING NON-LEGAL CONTEXT you UTTER FUCKING IDIOT. For a pedant you FUCKING SUCK at words.

          Stop digging. You don’t get out of a deep hole of idiocy that you’ve dug for yourself by digging harder. Just shut the fuck up you idiot.

            I don’t even disagree with you, but you’re not helping your argument by throwing a tantrum. If you can’t communicate your point without resorting to name calling, you should probably just say nothing.
