Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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/
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).
