"Apparent death" - those are called "executions."
"Custody"- is frequently called "kidnapping."
"Miliants" - in this case, "terrorists."
Democracy dies in euphemisms.

If you say biological sex exists and is immutable you are “literally a Nazi”, but if you chant “gas the Jews” you’re a social justice activist.

Speaking of foul reactions, one thing I fear, especially as the war intensifies in Gaza itself, is that we’ll see small-scale but potentially deadly attacks on Jews around the world.

In some countries (Poland and Germany) demonstrating in support of terrorists (Hamas) is illegal and the police will intervene.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman on Tuesday roundly objected to a controversial statement from a group of Harvard University student organizations solely blaming Israel’s occupation of Gaza for Hamas’ weekend attack on Israel, calling for the names of the students to be released in an effort not to hire them.

Initial response from Mainland Chinese Foreign Ministry
China is deeply concerned over the current escalation of tensions and violence between Palestine and Israel. We call on relevant parties to remain calm, exercise restraint and immediately end the hostilities to protect civilians and avoid further deterioration of the situation.
Sen. Schumer from the US is in mainland China right now, and after his meeting with President Xi, he said he was disappointed with Chinese response. Mainland china issued another statement then that was a bit stronger.

If it was Hamas, and they are the leaders in the Palestinian government, are they terrorists or are they an army? There’s a distinction there.
