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.

Do you prefer the term “war crime”?

CBC has used other words, including war crime. That’s kinda the point.

They have specific journalistic ways of describing things in many different contexts. https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/vision/governance/journalistic-standards-and-practices

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

You are correct, but technically, the killing of civilians during warfare is called “a war crime”.

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.
