War is peace, genocide is humanitarian

I have a comment kinda unrelated to this situation.

Since around 1960s there has been dominant idea that words don’t have meaning in relation with reality but rather with other words or discourse in the society. So war can be peace, they would argue, because ‘peace is a social construct’. And its validity depends only on the discussion around it in society and not on any material reality.

This is why calling it a genocide has always been so important for us. And at the same time denying it is so important for israeli media.
