Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

...and Israel was the aggressor.
The Yom Kippur war was in 1973
...and Israel was the aggressor.
Way to step on your own argument.

When there is a military build-up right on the other side of the border involving lots of tanks and military aircraft, and that country's leader is demonizing you to an unusual degree, attacking does not make you the aggressor. There is no duty to wait until you've had your airfields blown to bits.

Within its own borders, a country is free to conduct whatever military maneuvers it wants to.
attacking does not make you the aggressor
Actually, crossing the border with military might is the definition of aggression.
Additionally, the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 (USA is a signatory) forbids the Bush Doctrine (preemptive war).
Big clue: Just because USA.gov does something doesn't make it right.
In fact, WRT militarism in the last half century, what USA.gov has done has been the template for what -NOT- to do.

Had you been running Israel, you'd have let the country come to an end. You'd fancy yourself to be moral and ethical as you and your fellow citizens are dying. I don't find it moral or ethical to let them die.
The attack was obviously coming in a matter of days. Destroying the enemy works a lot better when you are dishing out the nasty surprise than when you are receiving it.

Read what AC says.
You may not be familiar with Texas law. I visit a town. Some dude carrying a gun gets loud and obnoxious, and says he is going to shoot me. I have all the justification I need to shoot him dead. No, I wasn't the aggressor, HE WAS! His credible statement that he was going to shoot me was the aggression. It was an assault, and I acted in self defense when I shot him first.
International law is no different.
Israel has been restrained, if you want to know the truth. When the shooting starts, there is no real reason to stop shooting as long as there are still bodies at non-ambient temperatures.
You don't like Israel? Oh-kay. I don't like Israel a whole lot either. But, try to get your facts straight. The Arabs have been the aggressors in almost every conflict since David ben Gurion and associates bombed that British hotel.
Next, you're going to be telling us how sweet and nice the Arabs are, right?

If there was any veracity your "facts", it would have been simple for you to have linked to a list of Arab incursions into the Israeli homeland.
I notice that you didn't provide any such substantiation.

You're being intentionally obtuse. Rocket attacks constitute "incursions". Doesn't much matter that few were injured, and none killed in those attacks, the intent was there. Your ideology means jack shit if you and your friends are pointing weapons at someone - you'll be killed on sight just for pointing weapons.
You've forgotten too that this is a tribal land, and the crap has been going on for thousands of years. Muslims have been putting Jews to the sword, and burning down synagogues since the madman Mohammed was dancing around on the sands. Ditto with Christians, animists, and everyone else who didn't believe the same as Mohammed.
In Arabia, only the fittest survive. You may moon over some misplaced ideology, but no one over there is listening to you. No one. Arabs and Jews alike laugh at you. If you're going to cry rivers that neither the Jews nor the Arabs play by your rules, you might want to remove yourself to a drought stricken area, where the water will do some good. Reality isn't going to change to make you happy.
