This is from the article from your screen shot

Marc Owen Jones, an associate professor of Middle East studies at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar who studies misinformation, told NBC News that he found that the source of the “40 babies beheaded” allegations largely stemmed from a viral Israeli news broadcast clip that did not specifically refer to the allegation.

Nicole Zedeck, a correspondent for the privately owned Israeli news outlet i24NEWS, said in the video that Israeli soldiers told her they’d found “babies, their heads cut off.” The video has been viewed more than 11 million times on X, according to its view counter. In another tweet, Zedeck wrote that soldiers told her they believe “40 babies/children were killed.”

“Somehow those two bits of information were connected, the story became ‘40 babies were beheaded,’ and in the British press today, about six or seven newspapers had it on their front pages,” Jones said.


-It looks like the British tabloid newspaper media was the only one that ran with this narrative at all, and they dropped it very quick. And no one in this forum except you even picked up on it at all, and for the last 10 months you have just been using it as a bad faith gotcha to deny the atrocities that did happen on October 7th, that has been co-oberated and confirmed over and over; in a very callous, malicious manner.


Victor was lying and propogandising? I'm floored.

d2 cant read Im floored. massive gaslighting but ok. glad we can all agree that we have established that Hamas did not behead a bunch of babies. we are getting somewhere.


Your proof that this was being pushed is a guy from three days after oct 7 ASKING if it was true???? Not saying it was true but ASKING if it was true????


just asking questions


actually my proof that

And no one in this forum except you even picked up on it at all,

is not true was that indeed someone other than me picked up on it bc you know they posted about it even before I did.


we are 10 years away from you guys being like, oh ya we totally opposed this war of extermination from the beginning.

I think he created this alternate reality in his mind where we were all having discussions about Hamas beheading 40 babies. And he cant really find receipts because those discussions didnt actually happen anywhere but in his mind, so he is kind of just flailing now.

Anyways, FWIW I accept Hamas did not behead 40 babies on October 7th, and I dont remember what I exactly thought on October 8-12 in the initial fog of war; but it is likely some of it was wrong in hindsight.

And no, I have zero expectation you (Victor) would ever make even this very minor mea culpa, despite the hundreds of posts you have made making allegations that there is no evidence is true.

War of extermination is when a terrorist group attacks your country and you respond by invading the territory they control


well I never said we had this big discussion here. it was however something the media and many pro-Israeli people pushed so much that it went viral. it was a big story and even the president of the USA subscribed to it.

If you are pro-Palestine you should welcome the Israelis as liberators. The problem is that Hamas will murder them if they do that.


Why are the far left so pro Palestine / anti Israel anyway? I get that Victor just parrots whatever dogshit he reads in his Stalin daily digest or whatever, but where does this support of Palestine and opposition to Israel originate?


proly the constant stream of decapitated and/or burned alive babies on our twitter feeds. that, or antisemitism.

Check the KDR and hostage numbers on both sides


why did Nelson Mandela support Palestine? its a mystery. or actually, bc he was a terrorist that loved fellow terrorists.

I guess everyone except the far left just loves burned alive babies, then. That, or they're not antisemites.

I have no idea what KDR is or what this is supposed to mean.


they either see it and arent bothered. or they are unaware and refuse to do even the barest minimum of due diligence before confidently spewing on internet forums.


Kill to death ratio

Israel has thousands of Palestinian hostages

Palestine had like 50 Israeli hostages

Then they did some hostage swaps or something? Maybe they were just hostage talk ideas

they tend to latch onto whichever group they feel at the moment is the most at risk and don't do much beyond that

like this is about one of the stupidest movements i've ever seen in my life


these are people who would be stoned to death if they were freely gay in a palestinian state

so don't bother trying to attach logic nor reason behind it

Right, everyone except the commie donkeys are just completely unaware of what's going on.

Anyway, I was asking about you and your ilk, I wasn't asking you since I know whatever you respond is going to be horseshit, so I'll just wait till I get a response from an adult.

weird bc you are so smart. took me about 5 seconds to figure out it was Killed to Death Ratio. google is your friend?

I was going to assume that I dont need to describe the term "hostage" to you but I now I realize I proly should ask anway. do you need a definition for "hostage"?

The **** does this have to do with the far left? You are answering some question I didn't ask.

And WTF is a kill to death ratio? Isn't it 1:1? Or does one side "kill" and the other side "suffer death" or something?
