I didn't mention any HN rules, so you're mainly arguing with yourself.

Shooting at mothers trying to get humanitarian aid for their starving children does not fulfil any definition of war I am aware of.

Read history books yourself. Once one side of a war becomes dominant, it just ends.

Unless it is not really a war but a hideous genocide campaign cynically carried out by Israeli government under the pretext of self-defensive war.

Sorry for being pedanto, but other side must stop resisting for war to end. Guerrilla warfare is quite usual when there is great power imbalance.

I think I got so upset by people needlessly dying in Gaza that maybe I went too far in this discussion. Obviously, the war and genocide don't necessarily exclude each other.
