The Israeli government has not confirmed the specific claim that Hamas attackers beheaded babies during the attack on Saturday, contradicting an earlier statement by the Prime Minister’s office. An Israeli official stated that while there have been cases of Hamas militants committing brutal acts, they cannot confirm the identity of the victims, such as whether they were children, soldiers, or civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had indicated the beheadings occurred, but his office later released photos showing burned bodies without specifying their ages. Explosive allegations about decapitated children emerged earlier in Israeli media, and the Israel Defense Forces described the scene as a “massacre.” However, Hamas denied the allegations, and CNN could not independently verify the claims.
I realize that we can’t skip a single opportunity to not campaign for the orange dipshit but:
This is entirely a non-story.
So there is confirmed brutal massacre and desecration of babies by hamas. But the entire world is hung up on “Okay, but is the vertebrate truly detached? Or is it just a cut on the neck that the baby bled out from?”
As for Biden and many others: You are told “Hey, Hamas beheads babies. Here is a picture of a bunch of dead babies that have been brutally mutilated”. Sane people aren’t analyzing every single pixel to confirm if the charred infant corpse was beheaded or if their head detached from fire.
Its similar to the brutal assault of that german woman. Hamas (and the IDF) is known to use sexual violence as a weapon and they were parading her body around in an unclothed and bloody state while straddling her and spitting on her. So, of course, the most important thing became “was that one specific woman raped or just violently beaten and stripped? Did anyone find her corpse and do a rape kit? And can we confirm that was not posthumous?”. And idiots entertained that non-point which mostly just served to distract from the exact same crime that is confirmed to have happened.
Have the allegations you’re describing been confirmed? There are a lot of rumors flying right now and it’s hard to tell what’s true.
Your comment doesn’t make sense. He didn’t say he was told, he said he saw it and he never thought he would ever see anything like that. He said he saw a picture of 40 beheaded babies. That made the US people want to go to war. Regarding pixels, I never said anything like that, but I will say now that you brought it up, my expectation for Ned from Deluth and the president of the US are different. Regular people wouldn’t look that close, but we absolutely should have people going to the pixel to make sure this isn’t AI. Why would you expect less when war is the discussion.
Things make more sense when you read them but, to reiterate
Hamas beheads people. Hamas kills babies. Those are two atrocities. If you see a picture of brutalized and desecrated infant corpses and are told that the people who perpetrate that behead babies: You saw a picture of beheaded babies. If someone later analyzes that and says they can’t conclusively claim that: You say “Why the fuck did you just spend six hours of your life staring at gore? You are out on leave until you complete a psychiatric evaluation”
And if your definition of leadership is someone who doesn’t recoil in horror from photos of horrific carnage and instead studies them to truly understand every single cut and impact? Well… I can see why you would be parroting trump propaganda.
Israeli forces kill babies too. What’s your point? Civilians die in war.
Which is why this entire thing is fucked up on all sides.
You’ve completely moved the goal posts from the original point. The person you’re responding to is trying to explain how it could be believed that Hamas decapitated babies. They have a history of beheadings, and there were images of babies with burned corpses and bloody sheets. Given that information, it’s not a far leap to see those pictures and thinking you saw a beheaded baby.
Israeli forces kill babies too. That’s a fact, but it doesn’t have anything to do with Biden thinking he saw pictures of beheaded babies.
Come again?
The statement came in support of “unwavering” support for the state of Israel, using blatantly false and unverified propaganda to support that position when the reality is Israel-the-government is committing similar atrocities.
It is absolutely pertinent that a) he was wrong b) it was propaganda, and c) babies are dying from the actions of both sides and d) his state department has released a memo prohibiting discussion (with the press,) using words like “cease fire” and “peace talks”.
The president of one of (if not the) most militarily powerful nations in the world should not be making such mistakes. Period. If it’s a matter of being too old, he needs to resign and let cooler heads prevail. If it’s a matter of being too willing to support Israel (because let’s be honest, 99% of American knee jerks to Israel’s tune.) then he needs to pull his head out of his ass. Like the rest of America.
Yep, everything’s just black and white I guess, and you’ve missed the point again, you’re dumb.
