It's wild how the media uses a word like that in at least three different ways. The Gaza war really brings this out to an insane degree.
It's used in a biased way to show the bararity of Hamas and the damage (or "scars" - figurative of course) inflicted on Israel. "On October 7, 2023, a day forever etched in the collective memory of Israel, an unspeakable tragedy unfolded, leaving a deep scar on the nation..."
It can be used in a neutral way.
It can be used to mean an unfortunate oopsie was made by Israel and they are so sorry about it.
I got the idea for this comment from this quote.
People uttered so, in a slight flatting of tone, means white people. Uttered another way, it means black. A third way means people in general.
