"There is no way they could have been considered combatants," said one writer and analyst. "This is unreal."

Adding to the mountain of evidence that Israel is engaged in a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera on Thursday aired footage of what the news outlet reported was an Israeli drone targeting four Palestinians in Khan Younis last month.

Those killed by the unmanned aerial vehicle in the rubble of the southern Gaza city appear to be unarmed teenagers or young men. According to a translation of the coverage, they were not identified in the reporting.

Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka’s U.S. policy fellow, said: “This is among the worst footage I’ve seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal.”

    The only cancer is you going around trying to “correct” people when there’s nothing to correct.

    They used the word “decimated” accurately.

    You’re not preserving the original meaning. You’re just being an ass.

      How does it feel to be such a moron that you can’t be bothered to look up the word “prescriptivism”, don’t know it, thus don’t get what you are answering and still decide to throw insults?

      You’re not preserving the original meaning. You’re just being an ass.

      What’s certain is that I don’t seek for evaluations of my actions and statements from apes who guess the meaning of words while having Internet access.

      EDIT: and guess the exact opposite at that

        “While correcting people writing in their native language which isn’t mine is stupid, in this case the term is Roman, so.”

        That is your quote. Moron. You fully admit you are trying to correct people.

        But sure, try to make it about “prescriptivism” if that’s what you want you absolute clown.
