When i hear war i expect to see tanks airplanes ...etc deployed between two countries or two factions in a region - balance of power varies - but in the GAZA situation I stay perplexed. We talking about a super nuclear power nation deploying full fire power - air - ground and sea - into what? - a bunch of civilian resistance in a strip of land not bigger than a small city - I never heard of Palestinian Army or Country or even closer to that. When is the Media going to start calling this Genocide? When the death toll reaches the thousands, or the million? Even if it reaches thousands, it’ll have to be in short laps of time to make the sensation in the media. Yes countries have the right to defend themselves; especially if your threat is a bunch of kids throwing stones at their aggressors then grew up into firing rockets since no one seem to care about the crimes committed every day against them. The Media has a key role into using the correct terminology, ultimately saving lives as people come to realize what is really going on.

Urban warfare
Anonyme, the comparison is probably more with Guernic and Sarajevo than open warfare.
When does a war become a genocide?
