Could have said it a week ago, assholes.

How many Palestinian children died while you held your breath?

Could have said it a week ago decades ago, assholes.

Ftfy

I dunno, how many babies did Hamas terrorists decapitate?

So far, zero confirmed.

How does it matter how exactly they kill innocent people, including children of all ages?

Why would you even start to argue about this one specific detail? Because it is the only one where solid proof has not surfaced so far? What is there to gain?

My comment should not be read as an endorsement of Hamas behaviour, because it's not.

Lol, what?

He said the wrong thing then got corrected.

"How does that matter!!" - you

Because he proved the narrative false, therefore the topic must be changed to a personal attack.

Ding ding ding! Because some people are not on the side of truth but instead blindly support their "team" like a football hooligan.

Where is the personal attack...?

I find it extremely odd that people argue about that those 40 babies are not confirmed beheaded. As if that matters? Nothing changes if that were confirmed. Or when it were only 20 that were beheaded.

Are you saying evidence and proof don’t matter?

Because it does matter if it were 0 babies and they lied saying it was any number greater than one.

I can send you a link to a baby that was burned to charcoal, together with the parents - in case you think stuff like that did not happen. NSFL, obviously, so not going to randomly link that here. There is zero question that such fucked up shit happened. The question is only about exact numbers or how exactly they were murdered.

It doesn't matter. Children dying from decapitation is equally bad as children dying from airstrikes.

Is that worse than children dying of starvation, constant destruction of infrastructure and housing, or fuel and food blockades? Does it matter if the violence is directly inflicted or is just institutionalized?

Weird how you people think decapitations outweigh airstrikes.

Yeah, it's gruesome and you can see the perpetrator, but that's really it.

Israel constantly gets to hold some high ground in your mind because airstrikes on civilians are 'civilized' while shooting civilians is 'barbaric.'

Killing civilians is killing civilians. Israel is king in that regard.

Shouldn't you know? Why are people so happy to not know the basic facts of what they have opinions on?

The number, since you don't know, and it seems you fucking should, is over 550. That's the count for children, killed by Israel, since Saturday.

Oh, and the number of babies beheaded by Hamas? Zero. Had it happened, media would he all over it. Oh, and the whitehouse would certainly not have to do a correction that in fact Biden had not seen any pictures of it.

It's ok to think a little bit critically. You should try it.
