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.
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.
