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”.
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.
No, but I expect at least journalists would be allowed to.
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.
Again, it’s a mirrored post from an actual news agency.
Actually it’s all over the news that the White House backed from these statements.
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.

You answered your own question
I would think not. How would you like seeing a loved one slaughtered? Photos should only be taken for forensic purposes in this case.
The news is a denial that the President saw pictures, not that event didn’t happen.
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.
This is a none answer.
As per the article, nothing like that exists, confirmed by the army themselves.
That’s one part of the news. The article clearly cites that the army denied it and that no US official has seen or been able to confirm this information.
So no one saw any bodies or forensic reports or photos, just bloody beds. Gotcha.
Read what you wrote
So you can’t file a FOIA request and see dead kids. So sad for you.
It’s not enough. We need the bodies themselves So we can perform independent autopsies!
You’re not discussing in good faith in my opinion.
Good faith meaning to agree with you? Perhaps not.
Imagine someone breaks into… Well I hope you don’t have children, so let’s say a neighbor’s house.
They break into your neighbors house and murder their children in their bed. How much you gonna nickel and dime that?
Well, if I ask police and they themselves confirm there is no evidence of that? This is the situation here, not whatever you have described.
There is actual evidence of entire families murdered in their homes. You can find the pictures with very little effort.
Yes but this is not what we are talking about here. I never denied anything sufficiently documented and probably never will.
Could we stay on point? We are talking about Biden making a false statement that appears to have been manufactured by some Israelis to accomplish some kind of PR agenda.
Your second paragraph is a conspiracy theory, so no I won’t be engaging in that.
Unconfirmed.means unconfirmed, not false, and fog of war is very real. There is a reason the Russians, as an example, recently shot down 2 of their own planes - it’s not a conspiracy, it’s that violence is inherently chaotic.
Actually here’s the guy who originally made this claim and the IDF backing away from it
