#2 Awad added that, "Many of the militants have died while they were not actively involved in the fighting. According to international law these people are considered civilians if they are not involved in actively fighting, but they were targeted anyway."

so if I shoot, hide my gun, then walk by the guy I shot, I'm a civilian and untouchable? F*ck them. It's illegal to fight out of uniform (see: the oft-cited Geneva Accords (not the 'Juice are illegal' parts, the real parts). They can be summarily executed IIUC, And they were. I'd do the same.

#3 I believe that Hamas has said that all Juice are legitimate targets, even small children, since they will someday serve in the IDF. Now that some Arab human shields children are being killed, all they do is whine.

#5 Definitions Lies skew civilian casualties

Spelling fixed. No charge.

Awad knows that statement is total bullshit. He also knows that it gives him _just_enough_ cover that the MSM (who also know its BS) will feel justified in quoting anything he says as fact.
