It also like, artificially lowers the death toll; pretending that ALL men ''killed in conflict'' should be seen by default as SOLDIERS/'terrorists' rather than civilians is part of pretending this isn't a genocide. You can understand why calling a 7yo a Young Woman is an intentional manipulation of language to distance their lost lives from any perceived ''innocence'' to imply that their death was /deserved/ & not 'as tragic'. Framing civilians this way IS military propaganda insofar as it covers up the actions of occupying forces as 'legitimate'.

Please do not contribute to the demonization of Palestinian boys and men by erasing them from your pro-Palestinian posts. Innocent civilians have been killed and others have survived and have to endure survivor's guilt and an indescribable amount of grief and fear. That includes men, women, and children. Palestinian men and boys are innocent too. They've been humiliated, subjected to sexual violence at the hands of the occupation, had to carry the remains of their loved ones, and a lot of them have been killed during carpet bombings or by Israeli snipers.

Please do not exclude them!
