In reply to the discussion: Global outcry grows over Israel's killing of starving civilians in Gaza [View all]vanessa_ca
(355 posts)25. War isn't murder. Ask Netanyahu. He's got a psalm for that
War isn't murder
Good men don't die
Children don't starve and all the women survive
War isn't murder
That's what they say
When you're fighting the Devil
Murder's okay
War isn't murder
They're called casualties
There ain't a veteran
With a good night's sleep
Let's talk about dead people
I mean a dead people
The dead don't feel honor
They don't feel that brave
They don't feel avenged
They're lucky if they got graves
Call your dead mother
Ask her when she died
It's a deathly silence on the other line
The dead don't talk
But their children don't forget
So in 20 short years
You can live to regret that
War isn't murder
There's money at stake
Hell, even Kushner agrees
It's good real estate
War isn't murder
Ask Netanyahu
He's got a psalm for that
He's got a bomb for you
War isn't murder
It's an old desert faith
It's a nation state sanctioned righteous hate
Let's talk about dead people
I mean a dead people
War isn't murder
It's the vengeance of God
If you can't see the bodies
They don't bloat when they rot
And the flies don't swarm
And the children don't cry
If war isn't murder
Good men don't die
So in a short 20 years
Where you vacation the Strip
Try not and think about the dead
And have a nice trip
War isn't murder
Let's all give thanks
I saw it all in a movie
Give it up for Tom Hanks
War isn't murder
They don't ship out the poor
And the bullets they fire
Ain't part of the cure
War isn't murder
Land is a right
But the banks called dibs
It's something you can't fight
Let's talk about dead people
I mean a dead people
The dead don't feel honor
They don't feel that brave
They don't feel avenged
They're lucky if they got graves
Call your dead mother
Ask her when she died
It's a deathly silence on the other line
The dead don't talk
But their children don't forget
So in 20 short years
You can live to regret
That

OP
All it takes for a war to be a war is two or more belligerent parties going at each other.

It's the removal of impoverished people from expensive beachfront property which rich people want.

It is obscene to see some people defending such atrocities and seeing humanitarians as enemies. .

Netanyahu and Kushner (scum of the earth) mentioned in the song. Hamas? Nada
