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.
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.
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.
Both sides have killed babies in the past few days. Are you equally against both Hamas and the IDF?
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:
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.
