    Next to the nuance in burning babies to death?

    Or maybe it was left next to the toddler shot to death?

    Oh wait, maybe it was left with the decades of Israel murdering children of all ages?

    “Israeli forces are gunning down Palestinian children living under occupation with increasing frequency,” said Bill Van Esveld, associate children’s rights director at Human Rights Watch.

      Reading the one about the toddler, he was apparently in a car caught in a gun battle where freedom fighters were attacking the IDF. The Israelis rushed him to a hospital with a helicopter.

      The first is a terrorist attack by jewish extremists, condemned by Israel.

      I don’t know why you need to phrase it like its the Israeli state happily murdering children? Or compare it to attacking a village and going house to house to kill the babies

        attacking a village and going house to house to kill the babies

        Source? Because the white house even retracted Biden’s comment, which tells us a lot about the veracity of those rumours.

          Do you believe they spared the children?

          There’s plenty of articles

          Edit: having trouble inserting a link - https://www.timesofisrael.com/corpses-and-kids-bikes-burned-homes-and-death-in-kibbutz-where-hamas-butchered-100/

          When the Palestinian gunmen stormed the kibbutz, they set fire to several homes in what had been a bustling community “to force their occupants to come out,” said Omar Barak, a 24-year-old Israeli army officer. […] “We have found many bodies inside the homes,” he said. […] “I had never seen anything worse. I broke down when I saw the bodies of two children assassinated,” he said.

            Nobody’s denying children died in the attack. The claim under dispute is that the terrorists collected 40 babies for a mass execution by beheading.

              The wildest claim I read was one IDF commander claiming 40 dead babies, some of them beheaded. I don’t know where you read they rounded them up or that they were all beheaded?

              Anyway from the other side I haven’t read anywhere that the freedom fighters had spared the babies. If they did I’d think it would be impossible to keep covered up, so unless that happens I assume they killed the babies as well

                God knows, there’s been a lot of wild claims floating around, which is why I’m pissy and trying to do my bit in pointing out disinformation.

                To be clear, nobody is claiming that babies were spared. The essence of the misinformation that’s been floating around, is that HAMAS had been purposefully targeting babies specifically for mutilation and beheading. There has been zero evidence of that thus far, and circumstantial evidence in favour of the opposite (like the white house retracting Biden’s comments).
