Ken Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, 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.

@KenRoth Yes, Israel targets young men with guns and rocket launchers. — Ofer Lando (@Ofernicus) August 9, 2014

@KenRoth wow. Record breaking pathetic tweet — Gil Eyal (@gileyal) August 9, 2014

@KenRoth bc u know those incidious Jews have special weapons that only target males #dumbass — Independent Patriot (@LibertysSpirit) August 9, 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 9, 2014

@KenRoth That's massively unintelligent, even for you. — Oren Kessler (@OrenKessler) August 9, 2014

@KenRoth @OrenKessler "or Israel targets young men" — using their famous age-distinguishing smart bombs, no doubt — Gary Weiss (@gary_weiss) August 9, 2014

@KenRoth lol. you're a parody of your already parodic self. impressive. and in public no less. — Richard Landes (@richard_landes) August 9, 2014

@KenRoth obvious to anyone with an understanding of the way terror cells work. Vast proportion = Hamas fighters. They got their wish. Death — Laurence0802 (@Laurence0802) August 9, 2014

.@KenRoth It certainly targets young men. Those who are members of Hamas or other militant factions. — neontaster (@neontaster) August 9, 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 9, 2014

@KenRoth Of course! That's why Israel requested the latest in young men seeking missiles! #twat — John Pendlebury (@John_Pendlebury) August 9, 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 9, 2014

.@HRW's @KenRoth thinks Israel might be "target[ing] young men." Probably something about Axe body spray. "Unclear." https://t.co/cF2J6WJxsG — Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 9, 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 9, 2014

The absolute, proven certainty that Hamas lies vs. a laughable smear alleging Israel "targets young men." @KenRoth: https://t.co/cF2J6WJxsG — Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 9, 2014

Reminder, @KenRoth: Hamas first said 49 of its men were killed in Cast Lead, later admitting the number was 600-700 – http://t.co/zrLZffQROX — Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 9, 2014

Another reminder, @KenRoth: Ridiculous statements like this (https://t.co/cF2J6WJxsG) only strengthen the perception that @HRW is a joke. — Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) August 9, 2014
