As horrific as that sounds, it doesn’t look like there’s a ton of evidence for it just looking at the Lemmy front page, but feel free to provide a source.
News sources say there is more than 1000 dead. These are people who have nothing to do with politics.
It’s something different to be pro Palestine and be happy with the outcome of this attack. The second one is simply morally wrong. It’s no different for me than to say 9/11 was fine.
1000 or more dead is independently verifiable, I’m not arguing that. It’s the beheadings of children that I’m questioning. It all seems to come from one source and instead of being independently verified, it’s being questioned by other media sources. So excuse me for not wanting to spread potential misinformation.
That’s one reporter making the claim. That’s the same as saying, “I made the claim, and I swear I’m telling the truth.” A claim is not evidence, even if you’re an alleged first-hand witness.
Additional corroboration, ideally in the form of objective evidence, from an unbiased source is needed.
There must be a name for it in behavioral science, when some are faced with horrible news and automatically go into denial. I suppose that’s where conspiracy theories originate too. They have to make up a story to make themselves feel better.
All going to say, guy, that I seen and heard enough on CNN to know the story is true.
You realise the White House has actually taken the step of retracting Biden’s comments? That should give you an idea of how much stock they’re putting in those rumours
And why exactly do you think they would go to the trouble of a retraction, when they could have spent 5 seconds showing him the photos if they existed?
That’s a good question. I suppose that if the President had seen these photos then they would become part of the Presidential papers and could be gotten under the FOIA.
