      “War” isn’t really a fitting word for committing genocide against unarmed civilians for being the wrong ethno-religious group on land you intend to steal.

        Regardless of your feelings, they literally declared war, so yes it is the correct word.

          I mean I’ve declared war on a plate of lasagna before but nobody should sell me tank shells because of it.

              Clearly, you don’t.

                What’s ironic about this is that I’m making factual statements (using words correctly) and you are arguing that your figurative use of language, applied because you have strong feelings about the conflict, is somehow more correct.

                Consider how silly that makes you look.
