Thread Name: BS: BDS of Israel 'Gathering Weight.'
Subject: RE: BS: BDS of Israel 'Gathering Weight.'
A collection of all the Tweets that Kenneth Roth, the rabidly anti-Israel head of Human Rights Watch, who said he isn't certain why young men seem to be "over-represented" among the dead in Gaza: it's "unclear if Hamas won't acknowledge fighters or Israel targets young men."
Several on Twitter stepped up to help clear up the confusion.
@AviMayer @hrw @KenRoth Couldn't be bc.the young men are the Hamas fighters, right?? Oh wait, all Gazans are innocent civilians - I forgot — Lana (@Filala) August 09, 2014
Give us an educated guess Ken. @KenRoth http://t.co/jEyr6zDfoT— Gil Lavi (@GilLavi) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth Yes, Israel targets young men with guns and rocket launchers.— Ofer Lando (@Ofernicus) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth wow. Record breaking pathetic tweet— Gil Eyal (@gileyal) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth bc u know those incidious Jews have special weapons that only target males #dumbass— Independent Patriot (@LibertysSpirit) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth so just to clarify, it is your suspicion that during combat, Israeli soldiers want to kill innocent bystanders, but only male?— Gil Eyal (@gileyal) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth That's massively unintelligent, even for you.— Oren Kessler (@OrenKessler) August 09, 2014
@MiraWard375 @OrenKessler @dorothyofisrael @BenWeinthal @KenRoth It is pretty obvious they target young men with weapons.— NeoCon_Lbrtarian (@RachaelMadCow) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth @OrenKessler "or Israel targets young men" — using their famous age-distinguishing smart bombs, no doubt— Gary Weiss (@gary_weiss) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth lol. you're a parody of your already parodic self. impressive. and in public no less.— Richard Landes (@richard_landes) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth obvious to anyone with an understanding of the way terror cells work. Vast proportion = Hamas fighters. They got their wish. Death— (@Laurence0802) August 09, 2014
.@KenRoth It certainly targets young men. Those who are members of Hamas or other militant factions.— (@neontaster) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth Oh, I get it. You're upset they're not targeting old men and women who are Hamas fighters. Makes sense.— Gary Weiss (@gary_weiss) August 09, 2014
@KenRoth Of course! That's why Israel requested the latest in young men seeking missiles! #twat— John Pendlebury (@John_Pendlebury) August 09, 2014
Of course that age group is highly representative of casualtiesThat is the age of the males that ARE Hamas fighters @AviMayer @hrw @KenRoth— IHazClawzSee? (@meankitteh1) August 09, 2014
.@HRW's @KenRoth thinks Israel might be "target[ing] young men." Probably something about Axe body spray. "Unclear." twitter.com/KenRoth/status…— Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 09, 2014
@AviMayer @hrw @KenRoth Gosh do confusing. "Young men" in civilian clothes, with rocket burns on their hands. Must be civilians. Must be.— J A Hiker (@JHiker711) August 09, 2014
The absolute, proven certainty that Hamas lies vs. a laughable smear alleging Israel "targets young men." @KenRoth: twitter.com/KenRoth/status…— Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 09, 2014
Reminder, @KenRoth: Hamas first said 49 of its men were killed in Cast Lead, later admitting the number was 600-700 – bit.ly/1yhDCAD— Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 09, 2014
Another reminder, @KenRoth: Ridiculous statements like this ( twitter.com/KenRoth/status…) only strengthen the perception that @HRW is a joke.— Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 09, 2014
It's worse than a joke. Under @KenRoth, @hrw is the useful idiot, accepting terrorists' lies & undermining enlightened democracies @AviMayer— Jon Levin (@JNLevin) August 09, 2014
