Yup, kind of like when we torture people and they call it 'enhanced interrogation'.
Give something a sanitized term and people will run with it.

MODERATORS
Nyt and Guardian seem fine, (in)directly quoting the idf.
It's "strange" how imperial propaganda is always quoting the IDF but never the resistance.
I see a lot of articles quote the Gaza health ministry about casualty statistics
He said the resistance not the doctors.
The Gaza health ministry is run by the government of Gaza
The israeli ministry of health is ran by israel.
Wait...did you just completely miss the point?
There was no point to miss.
There was a very clear and simple point. I'm not sure how it's possible, but the fact that you don't think there was not just means you did, and continue to, miss it.
What is the point in claiming that Palestinian doctors are valid military targets for the IDF to murder?
Wow, this is just a disgustingly blatant lie about what was said. At no point did they even come close to saying anything about valid military targets, let alone doctors being one.
You're welcome to explain what he meant if it's not 'doctors are part of the resistance'.
I meant that the Gaza ministry of health is a part of the government of Gaza, which is what I assumed you meant by the resistance. Not every part of a government is a valid military target. Bombing doctors is a war crime and a part of genocide.

Your reply;

You're so smart
The Guardian is clearly quoting. Judging an article by its title is like judging a book by its cover: clearly misguided.
So is the NYT title
"Pre-emptive" and "self-defense" are objectively true here. Hezbollah initiated its current conflict with Israel and continues to launch attacks; Israel is fighting defensively and destruction of Hezbollah assets prevents future attacks on Israel.
(You might believe that Hezbollah is justified in attacking Israel, but it's still the attacker and Israel is still the defender.)
Israel attacked Lebanon first not the other way around.
