U.S. and international media outlets are repeating unsubstantiated claims that Palestinian fighters "beheaded" babies. These unverified assertions aren't just sloppy journalism ā€” they are being used to justify a massacre.

There is no proof Palestinian fighters ā€˜beheadedā€™ babies. The only source is a radical settler.

U.S. and international media outlets are repeating Israeli claims that Palestinian fighters ā€œbeheadedā€ babies. These unverified claims arenā€™t just sloppy journalism ā€” they are being used to justify a massacre.

@mondoweiss the "massacre of babies" is a staple of war propaganda throughout the ages, be they bayoneted, speared, thrown on fires etc. Often based on a single actual incident, though not necessarily. Sure many atrocities were committed during Hamas assault on Israel. Likewise by Israeli troops over the years.
