    What kind of war is this?

    Israel is on record that a blockade, such as that imposed on Gaza, is just cause for war. Further, Gaza has engaged in acts of war against Israel. And Israel has responded by engaging in what it refers to as a war. In sum, the parties are at war with each other.

    So, is it called "terrorism" when Gaza attacks simply because they lack the tanks, planes and so forth that Israel possesses? If Gaza was better armed and equipped, would we then call it war regardless of to which side we were referring?
