The term war to describe Operation Cast Lead seems highly inappropriate, this becomes apparent when reading the UN Report which found that Israel engaged in “ a deliberate policy of disproportionate force aimed not at the enemy but at the “supporting infrastructure.” In practice, this appears to have meant the civilian population. ” . The term conflict would be more accurate especially since the UN report itself uses it "Report of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict".

Also, some prominent experts on the topic have gone a step further in referring to the conflict as a massacre (eg: Norman Finkelstein’s “This time we went too far”) which could be argued as accurate, in any case the term war should be removed as it implies reciprocity while it was clearly one sided.
