Is it murder when you kill an enemy soldier?
Hamas has declared war on Israel, with the intent of killing
all Israelis or pushing them into the sea. Israel fights back by
attacking Hamas where and when it can. You may agree with Hamas,
you may want them to win the war, but I don't see how it is murder
when Israel carries out combat operations in that war.
