Bruh. Also, if you're gonna make something up, why tf would you choose the phrasing of "combat-aged men"? Weird as hell.

Because then it skirts past the child deaths

Lol, this is legit under the actual headline:

Approximately 72% of fatalities are aged 13-55 and are men - the demographic category aligns with Hamas combatants.

This tracks with what we already know — Israel considers every Palestinian male to be "Hamas", therefore every one of them is a terrorist, therefore it's okay to indiscriminately murder them and anyone in their vicinity, who are also terrorists, otherwise why would they be hanging around Hamas?

It's an easy way to equate every Palestinian with terrorism. There are no civilian Palestinians. Only terrorists!

That's a certainly some spin.

"a demographic category that aligns with Hamas combatants"

Ah yes, the 13-55 male demographic, commonly known to advertisers as being primarily militants and nothing else.

Reddit, being an 18-29 demographic category, should expect the IDF to airstrike them out of existence for being so well aligned with Hamas combatants.

I mean, I recently shot my paper delivery boy when I learned that he turned 14 and was became aligned with Hamas Combatants.

Sadly I, being 40, am also aligned with Hamas combatants.


This is like when "settlers" murder Palestinians and claim that they were throwing stones by pointing at the stones on the ground. You don't need good reasons when there is no due process or identification expected.

I didnt know you could draft people into the army at 13-17 years old.

It’s like barrel-aged whisky: It means they’ve spent at least 18 months in a combat-ridden environment! /s

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Combat aged for them is probably 5+.

They'll just say that you should be blaming Hamas for recruiting soldiers so young. And then probably call you antisemitic.
