To everyone getting offended, clearly nobody is asking for pictures of dead baby’s.

Of course war and propaganda go hand in hand, it would just be nice if western media (or the president of the United States for that matter) don’t just blindly copy Israeli propaganda without checking sources.

Honestly I'm sure babies died. Some may have been decapitated maybe even intentionally. But even accepting that I would still call it propaganda because we all know Palestinian babies would never get the same treatment in the media.

I'm pretty sure LiveLeak used to have 40 hours of IDF sniping children uploaded to it daily

Of course, it would be just as useful if they claimed 0.4 babies or 4,000,000 - the only thing that really matters is they have a unified line the media can repeat ad nauseum for the next month.

You don't just sent pictures of beheaded baby's into the internet.

  1. What the fuck
  2. For an individual it's even illegal to forward them
  3. Even dead children have rights, so the parents have to confirm that those pictures can be forwarded into the world, what probably won't happen.

And also the IDF have officially states that it wasn't real.. so there is that to

Yeah, that's something no one can feel squeamish about linking, so link it.

Or at least the Israeli news agency should be able to confirm it, else it's just empty claim like how Putin likes to pull.

The meme is poking fun at the fact that this event never happened, and there's no evidence of it.

Isn't Real steams a good ham.

On a lighter note, they're all in heaven now. Unless of course they weren't christian babies, at which point they're all roasting in hell at the moment.

Religion... makes all the sense, doesn't it?

Zionist propagandists will do whatever it takes to control the narrative
