The Israel Defense Forces could not confirm a horrific claim that Hamas beheaded babies during a weekend assault, a spokesperson for the military told The Intercept.
100% certain they weren’t beheaded or it would have been confirmed by now.
Inevitable that children, including babies, died. And also inevitable that Israelis get much more media attention than Palestinians, before and after they are killed by this wickedness.
Predictable that the media are, often uncritically, publishing calls for the massacre of Palestinians in response, while condemning Hamas for doing exactly what they’re demanding Israel do.
Enough for me to be disgusted by the action. I cannot believe how many of you are currently justifying the beheading of babies just because the other side has also killed them. Maybe we can just agree it’s bad no matter who does it?
Edit: huh, who knew not wanting babies beheaded was a hot take around here?
A source is completely irrelevant in this particular discussion. If it didn’t actually happen, that’s great! But you already tried justifying it, and that’s what I’m criticizing.
Unless I misinterpreted you? Your last comment to me read as (paraphrasing) “the other side has done worse things so it’s not that big of a deal”.
Everybody here agrees that beheading babies is bad. Nobody is defending beheading a baby. You are shadowboxing right now. Pointing out the two following facts:
Nobody is currently willing to confirm the report that babies are actually getting beheaded,
It is however confirmed that Israel is responsible for the death of many babies,
Is not a defense of beheading babies. If you think it is, you are genuinely beyond help.
Your argument doesn’t make sense. The conversation has diverged into the number of babies killed by both sides and nothing to do with beheading babies since that is an unconfirmed event. The fact that you’re trying to conflate the two issues so that you can appear to be on the moral high ground is very concerning.
I’d say 20% odds the babies never even existed—and, if they did, 70% odds there were fewer than 40 of them and 80% odds they weren’t beheaded.

Inevitable that Israel has killed more babies than Palestine in this war. It happens every time.
1 Dead baby is enough for me, buster.
Enough for you to what? Condone genocide? Cheer as Israel bombs Palestinian homes, schools, and hospitals? I promise they’ve killed far more.
Enough for dinner

“Justifying the beheading of babies”
Source on the baby beheading

No, a source lets you know if it is propaganda bullshit which it is becoming more and more apparent that the baby slaughter story is precisely that.

Yes. Who gives a shit what side you’re on? Don’t fucking behead babies. Are you seriously defending this?
