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”.

    You answered your own question

    This is a none answer.

    Photos should only be taken for forensic purposes in this case.

    As per the article, nothing like that exists, confirmed by the army themselves.

    The news is a denial that the President saw pictures, not that event didn’t happen.

    That’s one part of the news. The article clearly cites that the army denied it and that no US official has seen or been able to confirm this information.

    No. I first saw a journalist walking through the kibbutz. Lots of blood. Shocked troops cleaning up. The next day Israel invited journalists there, and my eyes saw blood drenched children’s beds.

    So no one saw any bodies or forensic reports or photos, just bloody beds. Gotcha.

      Imagine someone breaks into… Well I hope you don’t have children, so let’s say a neighbor’s house.

      They break into your neighbors house and murder their children in their bed. How much you gonna nickel and dime that?

        Well, if I ask police and they themselves confirm there is no evidence of that? This is the situation here, not whatever you have described.

          There is actual evidence of entire families murdered in their homes. You can find the pictures with very little effort.

            Yes but this is not what we are talking about here. I never denied anything sufficiently documented and probably never will.

            Could we stay on point? We are talking about Biden making a false statement that appears to have been manufactured by some Israelis to accomplish some kind of PR agenda.

      Read what you wrote

      As per the article, nothing like that exists, confirmed by the army themselves. ’ As per the article. If I was “The Army” and you asked me for photos of dead kids, I’d tell you to take a hike too.

      The article clearly cites that the army denied it and that no US official has seen or been able to confirm this information.

      So you can’t file a FOIA request and see dead kids. So sad for you.

      So no one saw any bodies or forensic reports or photos, just bloody beds. Gotcha.

      It’s not enough. We need the bodies themselves So we can perform independent autopsies!

        You’re not discussing in good faith in my opinion.
