Biden says he has seen ‘confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children’

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”.

    This is not a tit for tat situation, please don’t try to make it one.

    How am I making it one? I’m talking about how the international community approaches dead children and the documented truth is that Palestinian children are being tortured, raped, killed, you name it with very little reaction and no sanctions on Israel.

    First of all, I don’t think you’ll find a photo of the bodies, at least I hope not

    No, but I expect at least journalists would be allowed to.

    I see three things here. First, this article is not on a reliable feed. Anyone can supply content tp Yahoo.

    Actually, if you look at the top of the link, this is a news article mirrored from The Independent. You can go and read it there.

    It’s the garbage can of news.

    Again, it’s a mirrored post from an actual news agency.

    Second, it is very thinly sourcesd and I havent seen anything similar.

    Actually it’s all over the news that the White House backed from these statements.

    Those journalists reported.

    No, they said they heard about this but none of them were able to confirm it themselves.

    EDIT: I wanted to add this picture

    Yes, it’s all over the news now.

    I didn’t note any Anadolucty news agency per the article.

      You answered your own question

      No, but I expect at least journalists would be allowed to.

      I would think not. How would you like seeing a loved one slaughtered? Photos should only be taken for forensic purposes in this case.

      Actually, if you look at the top of the link, this is a news article mirrored from The Independent.

      The news is a denial that the President saw pictures, not that event didn’t happen.

      No, they said they heard about this but none of them were able to confirm it themselves.

      No. I first saw a journalist walking through the kibbutz. Lots of blood. Shocked troops cleaning up. The next day Israel invited journalists there, and my eyes saw blood drenched children’s beds.
