And then retracted, source is Washington Post: https://x.com/evanhill/status/1712260928635322502?s=46&t=TJ5yDeVa0S1xw05yGzotfA
Original source for the 40 beheadings is a bat shit crazy settler: https://t.co/syUd4LCJlu
I'm now seeing all the articles I read posting that retraction. What wild times we live in.
Accusing your enemies of killing babies is a story as old as time.
Anybody remember the claim about Iraqi soldiers pulling babies out of incubators during the invasion of Kuwait?
Yep. Pure bullshit meant to push public sentiment towards war.
Upsetting that same play is being run again.
Well, Hamas did murder a whole bunch of civilians.
Fuck Hamas.
But cutting off food, water, electricity for 2.3 million people and basically destroying entire apartment blocks in Gaza while Hamas waits it out in their bunkers?
This is just revenge murder.
The US govt is itching to go after Iran, that is what they are ginning up sentiment for.
If they are rowing back on that he can’t stand again for President, surely. That’s astonishing.
I agree this isn't a good look, but career ending?
This is absolutely ridiculous. He has fact checkers... fucking use them. This is an embarrassment to his office and a disservice to the real victims of the very real brutality which apparently our world leaders still needed to "spice up".
Netanyahu blamed holocaust on Palestinians and whitewashed Hitler, not very credible source i would say.
Do you have a source for this.
Sure
https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-accused-of-absolving-hitler-for-holocaust/
And many more if you search for it, it was huge scandal back then. Of course not as huge apparently to end the career of bloodthirsty Hitler-absolving Israeli PM.
It’s not even about fact checking.
He claimed to have seen them personally, he would know outright that he never did see it without the need of a fact checker.
This guy is completely btainwashed, didny even wait for a confirmation..
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden addressed a roundtable of Jewish community leaders at the White House on Wednesday, calling the Hamas attack “the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust” and confirming reports of “terrorists beheading children.”
The president called the attack an act of “sheer evil,” and emphasized his administration’s support for Israel amid its war with Hamas.
“Women, children, toddlers, and elderly were brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action and we are we are [sic] aware of the heinous acts Hamas is capable of,” the spokesperson wrote in response to questions from the outlet.
Family members of U.S. citizens believed to be taken hostage during Hamas‘ Israel incursion this past weekend have expressed frustration over the U.S. government’s recovery efforts.
Relatives of missing persons with dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship begged the Biden administration and Israeli government to do more to negotiate the releases of their loved ones.
“It’s a war, so we realize that there are a number of things that are important on a national level,” Jonathan Polin — whose 23-year-old son Hersh Goldberg-Polin disappeared after attending a music festival near Gaza that Hamas attacked — told the Los Angeles Times.
The original article contains 449 words, the summary contains 188 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
So Western Heads of States and western mass are spreading Israel's military Lies in complete impunity, and never go back to apologize and exercise more journalistic rigor to information coming from Israel. this is gang banging the weak and gaslighting them when they resist.
Business as usual boys.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
