To everyone getting offended, clearly nobody is asking for pictures of dead baby’s.

Of course war and propaganda go hand in hand, it would just be nice if western media (or the president of the United States for that matter) don’t just blindly copy Israeli propaganda without checking sources.

I am asking for them.

Believe nothing without evidence.

As rowdy as that sounds you are completely correct, it is newsworthy and every war with modern media has had exactly the same because people need to know.

Back in the dark times when I was an admin for a very popular website, some very hateful nazis were sharing images of a dead Jewish child and laughing and claimed to be literally jerking off to the image. They claimed she was 9.

So yknow. Not in a hurry to see pics. Just want a trusted source to verify that they exist.

Without knowing for sure if I saw what the topic is about, I saw 3 images released by an Israel news organisation or government I’m not sure. The first image showed a dead infant that didn’t appear beheaded, I really couldn’t tell the cause of death there were possibly shrapnel wounds but the head was blurred and appeared to be attached. The other 2 appeared to be badly burned (blackened) and deformed, my guess would have been burned in a fire or bomb attack. Going off face value they could have been from either side as none of the images were identifiable in any way and none appeared beheaded imo. There may be other photos but I believe these are the ones in question but could be wrong of course.

The one ben shapiro was yelling about was debunked as a burned dog

I obviously am not happy to watch decapitated children. The meme is poking fun at the fact that Israel lied about this incident.

Honestly I'm sure babies died. Some may have been decapitated maybe even intentionally. But even accepting that I would still call it propaganda because we all know Palestinian babies would never get the same treatment in the media.

I'm pretty sure LiveLeak used to have 40 hours of IDF sniping children uploaded to it daily

Of course, it would be just as useful if they claimed 0.4 babies or 4,000,000 - the only thing that really matters is they have a unified line the media can repeat ad nauseum for the next month.

You don't just sent pictures of beheaded baby's into the internet.

  1. What the fuck
  2. For an individual it's even illegal to forward them
  3. Even dead children have rights, so the parents have to confirm that those pictures can be forwarded into the world, what probably won't happen.

And also the IDF have officially states that it wasn't real.. so there is that to

Or at least the Israeli news agency should be able to confirm it, else it's just empty claim like how Putin likes to pull.

On a lighter note, they're all in heaven now. Unless of course they weren't christian babies, at which point they're all roasting in hell at the moment.

Religion... makes all the sense, doesn't it?

Zionist propagandists will do whatever it takes to control the narrative
