Al Jazeera is propaganda

lol Interesting claim from someone doing their own selective editing. Your second link is dead so I couldn't follow it but the third link... why did you cut it right before

At the same time, Qatar has long been a key U.S. partner in the Middle East.

Al Jazeera is actually pretty legit. Obviously you gotta be aware because it is literally government funded but let this be the first of many times you will look up a claim made by Al Jazeera and find it to be true.

Btw, you could easily look this up. Why is this my job? I gave you quotes and names so you could look this shit up yourself.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for further details about Biden’s remarks. Two senior administration officials said Biden was referring to reports from Israel about beheaded children and cited several media reports of beheadings.

NBC News has not confirmed those reports. IDF Spokesperson Maj. Doron Spielman told NBC News: "That specific report and that number I can’t confirm."

A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that toddlers and babies were found in Kfar Aza, a kibbutz in southern Israel, with their “heads decapitated” after Hamas’ attack over the weekend, CNN reported.

Almost verbatim what Al Jazeera said

elftown anyone?

The average age in Palestine is 19 so ~50% of civilians killed are going to be children. And for the survivors 53.5% of children in Palestine have PTSD and something like 80% show symptoms.

In a response to questions by The Washington Post, a White House spokesperson said the president’s comments were based on news reports and claims by the Israeli government.

“The president based his comments about the alleged atrocities on the claims from Netanyahu’s spokesman and media reports from Israel, according to the White House.”

The Israeli army has said that it cannot confirm the claims, which were repeated on Wednesday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson Tal Heinrich.

But Israeli military officials have told a number of media outlets that women and children were “brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action”.

I'm not saying the 6 million number is wrong I'm just asking for evidence?

Is it easier to see what WidowsFavoriteSon is doing now that I flipped it around? It's called JAQing off

The point is to ask what sound like reasonable questions but in reality you're just trying to sew uncertainty for others. Check WidowsFavoriteSon's history, they're not asking in good faith.

If they weren't just stirring shit it's easy to look up which side has killed more civilians. And this is how the data is collected:

Information about occupation and conflict-related casualties is regularly collected by OCHA field staff and entered into OCHA’s Protection of Civilians database, following review and verification. As a rule, for an incident to be entered into the database it needs to be validated by at least two independent and reliable sources. Exceptions to this rule include incidents resulting in Israeli injuries, where information is typically based on media reports.

And the fact that this line of questioning exactly mirrors holocaust denialism is gross. I know, har har, godwin's law; but it's really the same fucking thing. I would bet money that it's not an accident.

Israel: Hamas beheaded 40 babies

Israel: We never said that

Israel: But actually we have footage of it

Israel: But we're not going to show you

Israel: Ok some journalists can see it but they have to put their phones in Yondr™ pouches because we're filming a special for Netflix

fuel shield > human shield?

Downplaying the casualties is straight out of the holocaust denial playbook

your attempt to sew doubt is exactly why they released it.

Except they didn't release it. They released one minute of footage. All I'm asking is that we let the journalists verify the other 42 minutes.

Is that really an insane ask? It's not

I don't think you understand how paraphrasing works
