"US President Joe Biden appeared to confirm that information. In a roundtable with Jewish community leaders on Wednesday, he said: “I have been doing this a long time, I never really thought that I would see… have confirmed pictures of terrorist beheading children.”
A US administration official later clarified Biden’s remarks, telling CNN that neither Biden nor his aides had seen pictures or had received confirmed reports of children or infants having been beheaded by Hamas. The official clarified that Biden was referring to public comments from media outlets and Israeli officials."
Listen, alleging that dozens of babies (more than 40 allegedly) were behead is a serious allegation. How can you comment saying it happened to the public without any actual truth? That is literally insane.
Those random 3 pictures still does not confirm what happened. Do I think children died? For sure, that's obvious. How? Bullets? Grenades? We don't know. To claim babies were beheaded and put that out in the public without any proof or anything substantiated is simply disingenuous, and at that, propaganda.
Let's go with babies were killed, that is absolutely terrible, and terrible things happen in war, that does not beget an extreme reaction. As well, within any army or group of fighters you will find bad apples, does that represent an entire population of people?
Think of how many times we've heard stories of rape, beheadings, indiscriminate murders from US troops in past wars (Iraq, Afghanistan). Would you turn around and label the entire US Military as a bunch of evil bad guys? Further more would you extrapolate that to the entire US population writ-large?
