    To everyone getting offended, clearly nobody is asking for pictures of dead baby’s.

    Of course war and propaganda go hand in hand, it would just be nice if western media (or the president of the United States for that matter) don’t just blindly copy Israeli propaganda without checking sources.

        As rowdy as that sounds you are completely correct, it is newsworthy and every war with modern media has had exactly the same because people need to know.

              I scrolled and scrolled where you recommended, couldn’t find proof, of any kind. I’m willing to assume I was just looking in the wrong place, but only if you actually link what you are talking about.

              Just put a big warning around the link so people don’t click on it unintentionally, there is no reason to be squeamish about the literal link itself.

              I think the claim is bs and unless you can post a link your claim of evidence is bs too

                  Because I believe you are a liar and i am not going to Twitter and sorting through their system.

                  If you are telling the truth and you know where the images are out should be really easy to link to them instead of playing the internet game where you pretend that something is real knowing that 99% of people are going to take it at face value and not click into it.

                  To to make this very clear I think you are a liar, I think you are trying to deny genocide that is happening, or at least justify it, and I think you are completely implicit in the genocide by supporting lies.

              Then it should be very simple for you to provide a link to it, I would think that our secretary of state would have seen it and even he is saying he hasn’t seen any pictures of beheaded baby so far and with the heart on that our country has for killing brown people and any sort of support for it I think we’d be right on top of it

          I checked. I saw dead babies (hard to say 2 of them are actually babies as they’re too charred). But nothing beheaded.

    Back in the dark times when I was an admin for a very popular website, some very hateful nazis were sharing images of a dead Jewish child and laughing and claimed to be literally jerking off to the image. They claimed she was 9.

    So yknow. Not in a hurry to see pics. Just want a trusted source to verify that they exist.

      Without knowing for sure if I saw what the topic is about, I saw 3 images released by an Israel news organisation or government I’m not sure. The first image showed a dead infant that didn’t appear beheaded, I really couldn’t tell the cause of death there were possibly shrapnel wounds but the head was blurred and appeared to be attached. The other 2 appeared to be badly burned (blackened) and deformed, my guess would have been burned in a fire or bomb attack. Going off face value they could have been from either side as none of the images were identifiable in any way and none appeared beheaded imo. There may be other photos but I believe these are the ones in question but could be wrong of course.

      I obviously am not happy to watch decapitated children. The meme is poking fun at the fact that Israel lied about this incident.

    Honestly I’m sure babies died. Some may have been decapitated maybe even intentionally. But even accepting that I would still call it propaganda because we all know Palestinian babies would never get the same treatment in the media.

      I’m pretty sure LiveLeak used to have 40 hours of IDF sniping children uploaded to it daily

      Of course, it would be just as useful if they claimed 0.4 babies or 4,000,000 - the only thing that really matters is they have a unified line the media can repeat ad nauseum for the next month.

    You don’t just sent pictures of beheaded baby’s into the internet.

    1. What the fuck
    2. For an individual it’s even illegal to forward them
    3. Even dead children have rights, so the parents have to confirm that those pictures can be forwarded into the world, what probably won’t happen.

          Unverified reports of ‘40 babies beheaded’ in Israel-Hamas war inflame social media - NBC News

          Marc Owen Jones, an associate professor of Middle East studies at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar who studies misinformation, told NBC News that he found that the source of the “40 babies beheaded” allegations largely stemmed from a viral Israeli news broadcast clip that did not specifically refer to the allegation.

          Nicole Zedeck, a correspondent for the privately owned Israeli news outlet i24NEWS, said in the video that Israeli soldiers told her they’d found “babies, their heads cut off.” The video has been viewed more than 11 million times on X, according to its view counter. In another tweet, Zedeck wrote that soldiers told her they believe “40 babies/children were killed.”

          “Somehow those two bits of information were connected, the story became ‘40 babies were beheaded,’ and in the British press today, about six or seven newspapers had it on their front pages,” Jones said.

          An IDF spokesperson, Doron Spielman, told NBC News on Tuesday that he could not confirm i24NEWS’s report.

      Or at least the Israeli news agency should be able to confirm it, else it’s just empty claim like how Putin likes to pull.

    On a lighter note, they’re all in heaven now. Unless of course they weren’t christian babies, at which point they’re all roasting in hell at the moment.

    Religion… makes all the sense, doesn’t it?

      I don’t want to see it the fact is that only one guy actually claims to have seen them and they refuse to share any proof.

      So it is therefore not unreasonable to think that it might not actually have happened

      If someone came to me and said “someone just murdered your parents who live in another country”, and I asked for proof. Your inclination is “this guy loves to see photos of dead parents”? Or is it that “this guy wants evidence that this random stranger’s claim is true”?

      There are pictures out their of Israeli Soldiers raping freshly decapitated babies out there while sucking dog dicks.

      The pictures and videos are out there you just have to look for them.

      I understand the problems with Israel Hamas but claiming this is fake is a bit too much for me. Why would you wanna see that… I personally won’t search for them but I’m sure you can find those, they have to be somewhere.

      What makes your statement different then mine?

      Is there dead babies somewhere? Probably, I don’t want to look for it either. Was there exactly 40 beheaded babies that journalists claimed “were hidden but reported by the IDF so it was impossible to verify”? Well, I might have a bridge to sell you.

        Of course it is when you’re entire goal is to dehumanize your opponent so genocide is 6acceptable.

      Go look into it. It was a single extremist settlers account. It’s completely made up. They ran the story to control the narrative. It’s what they’ve been doing for decades.
