Can the US or Israel morally claim “humanitarian” intervention given what’s happening in parallel in Gaza? If Iran bombed Tel Aviv would you call it a humanitarian intervention? Is this a creative use of the term? When you make a “humanitar

The energy of a potential impact is the main driver of that regulation. Also increasing with the square of the speed, and with the (sizable) mass.
