Anniversary of 40 Beheaded Babies In Kibbutz

Israel War Propaganda Machine in Full Swing


Reporters were told that when IDF soldiers arrived, they found an unthinkable scene. "Babies, their heads cut off," retold a reporter for i24 News of the 40 babies butchered by Hamas terrorists, some while peacefully asleep.

Entire families were found in their homes, gunned down, with doors still thrown open. Cribs filled with the blood of Israeli babies slaughtered by Hamas terrorists.

➡️ WARNING HASBARA STATEMENT PMO 🚮

Spokesman for prime minister says the decision to share shocking photos was made 'so that the world will see just a fraction of the horrors that Hamas carried out'

In a conversation with Biden on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the president: "They took dozens of children, bound them up, burned them and executed them. They beheaded soldiers, they mowed down these youngsters who came to a nature festival."

In his own comments in Tel Aviv on Thursday alongside Netanyahu, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that he had viewed harrowing images of the atrocities.

"It's impossible for me to look at the photos of families killed - such as the mother, father, and three small children murdered as they sheltered in their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz - and not think of my own children," said Blinken.

"This was just one of Hamas's countless acts of terror - in a litany of brutality and inhumanity that, yes, brings to mind the worst of ISIS. Babies slaughtered. Bodies desecrated.

"Young people burned alive. Women raped. Parents executed in front of their children, children in front of their parents," Blinken said.

Biden and Blinken it's you task to know war propaganda ... not exploit this hogwash. One year on and over 50,000 Palestinians killed ... 365 days of unrelentless bombing campaign .... You knew and are complicit with lies and disinformation.

Remarks by President Biden on the Terrorist Attacks in Israel | 10 Oct 2023 |

You know, there are moments in this life -- and I mean this literally -- when the pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world.

Unverified reports of ’40 babies beheaded' in Israel-Hamas war inflame social media | NBC News - 12 Oct 2023 |

No photo evidence had been made public as of Thursday morning corroborating claims that babies had been beheaded. Israel has published photos of dead infants after the terror attack.

Editor's note:This story includes graphic descriptions
of violent acts that some readers may find disturbing.

A series of shocking reports have spread horrific claims of baby beheadings by Hamas militants across social and mainstream media in recent days, adding a particularly incendiary element to an already violent and bitter war. But the reports are still unconfirmed, and in some cases have been retracted. 

The most high-profile claim came Wednesday night when President Joe Biden said that he had seen photographic evidence of terrorists beheading children. The White House later clarified that Biden was referring to news reports about beheadings, which have not included or referred to photographic evidence.

Photos have been published by Hamas showing beheaded soldiers and the X account belonging to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted pictures on Thursday of babies killed and burned by Hamas. No photo evidence had been made public as of Thursday morning corroborating claims that babies had been beheaded. 

JOE BIDEN KEEPS REPEATING HIS FALSE CLAIM THAT HE SAW PICTURES OF BEHEADED BABIES

Many atrocities were committed during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7. Yet the president of the United States continues to repeat debunked falsehoods.

Beheaded babies hoax

The IDF has also peddled lies to the Israeli and global media.  The most incendiary one claims that Hamas fighters beheaded 40 Israeli babies during their attack (see above tweet).

This was first reported by an Israeli search and rescue officer, Yossi Landau, on CNN. It was repeated by IDF spokesperson, Maj. Libby Weiss also on CNN. From there it was reported by the Independent, the Los Angeles Times and other outlets.

The apparently cognitively impaired President of the United States, 79 year old Joe Biden, even repeated the calumny, stating he'd seen "confirmed photographs" documenting the incident.  After which, his press officers "clarified" that he had not actually "seen" the photos, but was basing his statements on "Netanyahu and Israeli media."

On the other hand,  Israeli journalist, Oren Ziv, visited the southern Israel communities attacked and repeatedly asked IDF officers if they could verify the story.  They told him they had seen no evidence supporting these claims (see tweet above).

Such disinformation demeans the real suffering of real people, including Israelis.  It deflects from the suffering Israel is inflicting on Gaza.  It incites violence. It poisons human discourse.  During crises, it is most likely people will fall prey to their worst fears and act on them. That is when people most need news that is properly and accurately reported. 

Appealing to the biblical tale of G*d's chosen people and Amalek myth, State of Israel pursued a course of annihilation, all Palestinians in the Gaza death camp.
