Murder does have a specific definition, you are correct in that.

What's happening in Gaza meets that definition, so you are wrong in that.

    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"?

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