Words like "defense" are used for israel. Words like "attack" are used for people defending themselves against israel.
This is because "defense" looks noble and "attack" looks violent and is associated with the aggressor of a conflict. Our media purposely chooses these words to subconsciously brainwash people. It is no coincidence these words are never swapped.
There's a good reason the "ministry of War" is called the "ministry of Defense" now.
Of course these propaganda outlets also regularly make up lies for israel and let IDF soldiers write articles for them.
