The White House was forced to walk back on president Joe Biden’s claim to have seen “confirmed pictures” of “terrorists beheading children” in Israel.

The Israel Defence Force previously claimed that at least 40 babies were killed in the Kfar Aza kibbutz over the weekend when the Hamas militant group launched an attack on Israel.

The army later clarified to Anadolu news agency that there was “no information confirming” allegations that “Hamas beheaded babies”.

    To shift the focus away from the two million people (nearly half of those are children) with no water and under constant bombing.

    Edit: and also to give Hamas an ISIS feel.

      Oh, that’s already happening. I saw a video on Instagram cutting back and forth between warzone clips, half labeled ISIS and half Hamas. No idea how true it actually was. I did notice that they conveniently left out any videos of Israeli forces killing Palestinians though.

      I think them parading a dead raped girl around in a truck gave them the ISIS vibes

          A grieving mother said a terrorist organization told her that. She wasn’t bleeding from obvious wounds throughout her body. Her heart wasn’t beating.

          I’m not sure “she hasn’t been killed yet” is an especially good defense.

            But I’m pretty sure we should be condemning people for what they’ve actually done, not for what they were said to have done.

              Ok, we’ll only condemn them for stripping her naked, which is sexual assault on its own, and holding her hostage. Are we being fair to Hamas now?

                Not only yes, but also I’m not sure why it offends you so deeply to be angry about the truth instead of a fabrication.

                  Please quote the thing or things I said that suggest I am deeply offended or angry. This should be interesting.

                    Are we being fair to Hamas now?

                    So that was a non-sarcastic concern for whether we were being fair to Hamas? Or a passive-aggressive expression of annoyance that I said we should only condemn them for what they’ve actually done?

                    Edit: Also I said you were offended, not angry, about the correction. Try reading that sentence again.

        Neither of those things are confirmed. I hope she was not raped and she is not dead (but it doesn’t look good at all). And yes, that absolutely gave ISIS vibes (except ISIS would probably cover her body)
