Is it 40 beheaded babies or just one guy?

There shouldn’t be this much debate. Pics or it didn’t happen.

Oh it’s the same fucking dude. Why are we posting this uncritically?

I see a lot of people debating whether Hamas beheaded babies, and I just want to point out a few things:

It doesn't really materially matter. The key facts here are: Hamas murdered children, and Israel has and is in the process of murdering children. Whether a baby dies by machete or airstrike, we need to find a clear voice with which to demand an end to the current hostilities and then an end to the apartheid regime and occupation.

I really want to emphasize that I admire the skepticism people are showing, and agree that the critical lens is appropriate. At the same time, I hope people don't waste time arguing whether this one specific fact is true or not. Because again, if it's true, it doesn't mean that Israel has license to kill children. And if it's false, it doesn't exonerate Hamas for killing children.
