4. Weasel lawyer-words to evade responsibility.

Shooting "toward" instead of "at". No incidents "near".

When people die or are horrifically injured, you have not only shot "at" them, you have committed murder. Weasel words won't save you.

And when people are routinely murdered on their way to get food, you have devised a system calculated to do just that. One way to do so is by closing over 400 aid distribution centres, and reducing it to just four. Fucking four centres for over 2 million people, guarded by the "most moral army in the world" except that moral army is anything but. Weasel words won't save you.

Genocide enablers/deniers of course cling to such weasel words. Somehow those words are enough to salve their conscience, cloud their minds and numb their hearts to the enormity of the crimes and suffering they enable.

I could not agree with your sentiment more.
