In response to complaints about its coverage, CBC says Israeli state violence is different than Hamas’ violence because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”
No it doesn’t, the government of Israel is giving the orders, and therefore it’s not murder. Governments can’t murder, there are other words that describe when a government kills people.
If we’re being technical, then it’s the one you crossed out that says
Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.
Because CBC is using murder as a legal definition, not common parlance, and it doesn’t fit the legal definition of murder. But I get it, you don’t want technicalities.
I don’t even disagree with you, but you’re not helping your argument by throwing a tantrum. If you can’t communicate your point without resorting to name calling, you should probably just say nothing.
Murder does have a specific definition, you are correct in that.
What’s happening in Gaza meets that definition, so you are wrong in that.

Do you prefer the term “war crime”?
CBC has used other words, including war crime. That’s kinda the point.
They have specific journalistic ways of describing things in many different contexts. https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/vision/governance/journalistic-standards-and-practices
I quoted the dictionary definition of murder above. Can you point to the part that says governments can’t murder?

You are correct, but technically, the killing of civilians during warfare is called “a war crime”.
