The photos were shown to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his visit to Israel on Thursday.

The Jerusalem Post can now confirm based on verified photos of the bodies that the reports of babies being burnt and decapitated in Hamas's assault on Kfar Aza are correct. May their memory be a blessing.

Unless you can provide a verifiable link and not some AI amalgamation, this is propaganda and should be summarily dismissed.

The decapitated babies story has been confirmed a lie.

White House retracted President Joe Biden's statement in which he claimed to have seen images of beheaded children in the aftermath of a Hamas attack on Israel.

The White House spokesperson clarified that neither US officials nor the president had independently verified such reports. These claims, widely reported in Western newspapers, have been cited by some as justification for retaliatory actions in Gaza.

Americans are protecting and funding Israeli war crimes.

"Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack"

Source:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/12/middleeast/israel-hamas-beheading-claims-intl/index.html

"CNN has pored through hundreds of hours of media posted online attempting to corroborate accounts of atrocities committed by Hamas. In one video, which CNN determined to be authentic but has not been able to geolocate, an assailant attacks an injured man with a garden tool in an attempt to behead him. But CNN has not seen anything that would appear to confirm the claims of decapitated children.

CNN also visited the ransacked ruins of Kfar Aza on Tuesday and saw no evidence of beheaded youths. Israeli officials have not released any photographs of the incident either."

Well well. A pity that the people making the strongest claims earlier lost interest in the discussion.

WTF is with this coordinated disinformation here?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not like it matters. Everyone who is going to believe it believes it, everyone who won't believe already doesn't. Any "proof" or "evidence" either side brings up will be seen as propaganda by the other side. The horrors will continue.

Even if it is true. It doesn’t change the fact that Israel is committing war crimes today.

If they had the, there's no way they wouldn't be spreading them worse than amazon ads on youtube. Same thing about raping women with blood coming out their vagina. Well, so far the death toll is rising in the thousands among them more than 500 children died by Israel air strikes on Gaza, and that was verified by the UN. Israel is looking for any reason to continue their genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Ok. So are they AI generated? I don't trust anything anymore.

Because Israelis are horrible with propaganda, here’s a link to a burned bodies article. Still no decapitations. Did they decapitate them, then burn them? Or burn them, then decapitate? Or, hear me out, we’re the be headings a lie that they are trying to capitalize on? If so, it’s propaganda.
