Womenandchildren

Now everybody and his mother in law, in this particular instance Al Thawaheri and his mother in law, are so damn concerned about women and children. He supposedly chastised Hamas for firing their missiles at Israeli women and children saying that such an act is forbidden by religion.

Al Thawaheri? Of Al Qa'eda?

In response, a Hamas spokesman emphasized that Hamas does not target women and children.

A spokesman for the Israeli government also denied (as usual) that Israel ever targets women and children. He explained that the children allegedly killed in Israeli raids on Gaza were really malnutritioned militants and that the women who allegedly died were terrorists in drag.

What is it with this "womenandchildren" mantra anyway? Isn't it still illegal and unethical (please don't laugh) to kill men? The point is not to target "civilians" and last I checked civilians included men as well as womenandchildren.
