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”.

    Its main goal was to make the middle east look like a terrible place for women

    And they thought they needed to lie to convince people of this?

    Like honor killings don’t already happen and women aren’t already second class citizens, at best, in more than a few countries?

      Yes, honor crimes happen in the Middle East. I grew up in Jordan so I would know.

      However when the lives of these women only matters to fuel war, then we have a problem. I hope you understand that the problem was that the book was plagiarized to serve a political purpose. Instead it overshadowed the real suffering of real Jordanien women and victims of honor crimes.

        So was it plagiarized or was it a hoax?

          The correct term would be it was a hoax. People who read it immediately discovered the factually incorrect parts.
