HRW's old lie: Israel targeting all civilians. HRW's new lie: Israel targets innocent young men

Only a couple of weeks ago Human Rights Watch head Ken Roth was telling any media outlet that would listen that Israel was aiming at civilian targets that had no possible military value.

Now that some media are belatedly noticing that a high percentage of those killed in Gaza are young men of military age who are only a small percentage of the general population, Roth floats a new theory:

Young men over-represented among Gaza dead: unclear if Hamas won't acknowledge fighters or Israel targets young men. http://t.co/Vnk1QcsGls

As if it is needed, this is more proof that doesn't care about those pesky little things called facts.

As this early analysis shows, and there is no doubt that it remains true, even according to the false numbers provided by the UN, the chances that a random Hamas terrorist will be killed is about 30 times the chances that any other civilian would be killed. Which means that even among young Gaza men, even according to the vastly underreported numbers, Hamas terrorists are far more likely to be killed than innocent civilians who are young men.

But that won't stop Ken Roth from finding some other slander to hurl. That's how he rolls.
