    This IsnAt a `WarA u Israel is Destroying a Population
    Paul R. Pillar - Responsible Statecraft

    a What is taking place in Gaza now is mostly not a war, even though
    that term commonly is applied to the violence there. It is instead a
    largely unilateral assault on a population and its means of living. It
    is a situation in which one side, Israel, has u as Trump might put it
    u nearly all the cards. The news stories emerging almost daily from
    Gaza are not about pitched battles between the Israeli Defense Forces
    (IDF) and Hamas fighters. They are mostly not about battles at all.
    Instead, they are about the latest large-scale killing by Israel of
    Gazans, mostly civilians, at a rate that has averaged about 150 deaths
    per day since the current round of carnage began in late 2023 a More
    recent press reporting shows that the IDF itself has found no evidence
    of Hamas seizing or diverting aid.
