      So I hate having to do this but those babies have heads. I'm sure the IDF could find a dead baby or two in a warzone. I'm sure Gaza is full of them by now. People, including babies, die in war. The allegation was that Hamas was deliberately targeting and beheading infants. This r/deadbabies shit proves nothing but the extant to which Israel is willing to go to justify the genocide they are very publicly committing

        Exactly, they're not beheaded and there's no context. It's just extra odd that they decided to use AI generated images, these are the ones that Biden witnessed I believed, the "3 real photos" of rumors. No beheadings, dubious origins and even if they were real we don't know if it's a Palestinian baby or an accidental death from a nearby battle or what.

          Its just propaganda to rile people up. No ones arguing that no children died period as part of the Hamas attacks. But this way liberals can hesitantly click show, break immediately into tears, then go hug their own children and spouses and be reassured that muslims are monsters and that the IDF has no choice. As though Israel hasn't been manufacturing very similar looking corpses for decades and hasn't just accelerated production

          the twitter thread has a commenter posting a 4chan screenshot purporting to show the original image that Israel doctored. 4chan's obviously not trustworthy but the pic is worth looking into:
