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”.

    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.
