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”.
I think it’s normal. It’s a big claim to make, and the white house had to walk away from it. I’m still waiting for an official report to understand what happened (and I don’t expect it to be “good”)
I don’t even get why the white house brought up the beheading the whole time I just thought it was 40 babies killed or whatever which they would mention not focus in on the beheading bit…
To shift the focus away from the two million people (nearly half of those are children) with no water and under constant bombing.
Edit: and also to give Hamas an ISIS feel.
Oh, that’s already happening. I saw a video on Instagram cutting back and forth between warzone clips, half labeled ISIS and half Hamas. No idea how true it actually was. I did notice that they conveniently left out any videos of Israeli forces killing Palestinians though.
I think them parading a
dead rapedgirl around in a truck gave them the ISIS vibesI mean, for sure, but https://www.newsweek.com/shani-louk-still-alive-mother-reveals-1833453
A grieving mother said a terrorist organization told her that. She wasn’t bleeding from obvious wounds throughout her body. Her heart wasn’t beating.
I’m not sure “she hasn’t been killed yet” is an especially good defense.
But I’m pretty sure we should be condemning people for what they’ve actually done, not for what they were said to have done.
Ok, we’ll only condemn them for stripping her naked, which is sexual assault on its own, and holding her hostage. Are we being fair to Hamas now?
Not only yes, but also I’m not sure why it offends you so deeply to be angry about the truth instead of a fabrication.
Neither of those things are confirmed. I hope she was not raped and she is not dead (but it doesn’t look good at all). And yes, that absolutely gave ISIS vibes (except ISIS would probably cover her body)
There are at least two known cases, one of the German girl, stripped of her clothing for obvious reasons, who is now thought to be alive, and another of an Israeli girl bleeding into her shorts
Cunts.
