@timkmak@journa.host International law extending refugee protection status to civilians fleeing from war zones should be non-discriminatory. This is discrimination based on age and apparent gender. It's an assertion that males of a certain age have some sort of obligation to fight and put themselves at risk. One can argue that civilian males not engaged in the fighting are more likely to be targeted by aggressors. This has proven abundantly true in the targeting of male Palestinian non-combatants in Gaza.
