The Israeli government has not confirmed the specific claim that Hamas attackers beheaded babies during the attack on Saturday, contradicting an earlier statement by the Prime Minister's office. An Israeli official stated that while there have been cases of Hamas militants committing brutal acts, they cannot confirm the identity of the victims, such as whether they were children, soldiers, or civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had indicated the beheadings occurred, but his office later released photos showing burned bodies without specifying their ages. Explosive allegations about decapitated children emerged earlier in Israeli media, and the Israel Defense Forces described the scene as a "massacre." However, Hamas denied the allegations, and CNN could not independently verify the claims.

Truth is the first casualty of Zionism

I honestly never really understood the term Zionism I looked it up and got:

 n 1: a policy for establishing and developing a national
       homeland for Jews in Palestine

So does that mean an anti-Zionist doesn't want Israel to exist, where a Zionist says Israel should exist?

[-] SpiralSong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty much. Zionist believe that Jews should have their own homeland, and that homeland should be Israel. Anti-zionists would argue they either shouldn't have Israel, or shouldn't have a homeland at all depending on how far down the rabbit hole they've gone.
