Words Kill – Why Israel Gets Away with Murder in Gaza and Lebanon

By Ramzy Baroud/Counterpunch

October 3, 2024

[Note from JK: While reading this article what hit home for me is the way Israel is conducting itself, supported by the U.S. and the collective West, and establishing in the minds of its citizens and supporters the normalization and legitimization that the way to conduct a war is to kill and harm as many people on the “enemy’s” side as you can with no distinction between the enemy’s civilian population and the enemy’s military, or in the case of a liberation struggle of an occupied people against their occupiers, between the enemy’s civilian population and the enemy’s liberation fighters. All this has been leading to the use of words to discard the rules of war, putting everyone in the world in danger because the Western imperialist powers (and colonialist Israel) think they have a right to rule the world by any means possible.]
