DISCLAIMER
- The use of the word "massacre" to describe massive civilian deaths in Qana (in April 1996 and July 2006) is controversial; however, it has been adopted by many journalists and authors in the international media (example), and I reserve the right to use it.
- The use of the word "crime" to describe some Israeli operations in Lebanon has been adopted by several humane organizations including Human Rights Watch (example), and I reserve the right to use it.
- The use of the word "refugee" to describe persons who evacuated their homes is controversial; I reserve the right to use the word "displaced" instead.
