Legacy media is only interested in whitewashing Israeli crimes.

the silence after this comment is called “tacit approval.” See the problem, media?

It was on NPR’s Up First today, and I’d read it elsewhere too.

From Up First:

Disturbing description of violence against children

[A witness] says he found one kid with his stomach sliced and his intestines out. Another child had been decapitated. He also said he saw children in body parts.

I’m not sure how material the difference is, but you’re correct: beheading is deliberate decapitation. I assume they’re just being sloppy about definitions.

I’m pretty sure that dropping a 2000lb bomb on a refugee camp is deliberate.

As someone who watched the video, I don’t think anyone in that situation cares about your distinction.

I’ve seen enough shock images posted online for a lifetime already. The audio from the witness on NPR’s Up First was enough.

No they aren’t.

Decapitate is used in the definition of behead.

Behead is used in the definition of decapitate. What kind of weird-ass apologia are you doing here anyway.

You’re trying to deflect from a story about murdered Palestinian children with a “Well, ackchyually…”

Thanks for informing us. Of course you know this isn’t the most important thing about this, but at least I learned something new.

No shock here. A majority of the world is on a stance of “anything/anyone against the state of Israel is antisemitism”. This is such a false equivalency. Just because something/someone is against what the government of Israel, does not mean it/they are hateful towards the Jewish people. Hell, making such an equivalency is placing actually Jewish people in an unintended hate group.

As I understand it, the prophecy is that when the state of Israel is fully unified once more, and the temple of Solomon is rebuilt, Jesus will return and the second battle of Armageddon will commence.

End of the world, rapture of the believers into Heaven, the whole bit.

Hey, please remove the language “totalitarian” and be more specific with your language. We’re finding a lot of holocaust trivialization recently and words like “totalitarian” and “authoritarian” can be used to blur the line

Majority of the government in the West. I am sure if you start reading news from arabic media you will see a completely different story.

The problem is that international law is applied differently based on the country abusing it. And Israel is trying to shape the news perspective, by its bot army in English speaking of outlets and pushing hard a media campaign trying to discredit everyone who is not acting according to their interest.

Their foreign minister is posting some despicable videos and trying to link Spain and Hamas and claim that Spain is complicit in war crimes is nothing but despicable and shows the morale of all their government.

Joy Reid of MSNBC went on record yesterday saying she finally saw the actual beheaded Israeli Palestinian baby photos from October 7th. Is there anything substantiated with this?

I’ll see if I can find the program and block.

Edit: Found it — The ReidOut - Podcast - May 28, 2024 @~28m23s

Edit 2: I got the context wrong. Thanks @Psychodelic@lemmy.world for the correction.

The substance is that she lied.

I think it’s bullshit, too.

It’s a bit strange for her to make a definitive statement this late. Why now?

Edit: Joy Reid was referring to Palestinian babies. I corrected my OP.

There’s no repercussions.

Almost all major western propaganda outlets claimed they saw photo and video evidence of rape. Something that we now know is a massive lie since the UN investigation showed there was zero evidence only oral testimonies.

I just listened to this, it’s actually a bit before your timestamp, but based on the context of the conversation there having, it seems like they’re talking about actually seeing the dead Palestinian kids. When she says “them” it seems to me like she’s saying we’ve now actually seen decapitated kids, whereas as before we only had hearsay

Thanks, I’ll re-listen and edit. I certainly don’t want to cast an unwarranted aspergion.

Edit: You’re absolutely correct, the dialog required careful attention. I’ll fix my post.
