What critics miss when they accuse Israel of 'scholasticide' and 'domicide'

JL;DR SUMMARY The article by Aviya Kushner considers the growing usage of terms like "scholasticide" and "domicide" to critique Israel's military actions in Gaza, arguing that these terms echo the moral weight of genocide without substantive grounding in established dictionaries or historical context. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
