People want to believe it was real, it fits the narrative and justifies their extreme emotions.
I saw some of the first claims, didn't see any confirmation, so I brushed it aside as possibly untrue. However I then saw some videos with reporters going through a kibbutz, they confirmed babies had been killed but not that they were beheaded, but alongside that post was a French journalist that said some other journalists had seen it first hand. That somehow stuck and convinced me, only later did I realise it wasn't enough - I can only imagine that would be worse for people who saw the President say it.
I saw the same report from what you described, and noticed the second time I watched it that no bodies were shown and the journalists specifically said "we heard them say that there were children among the casualties".
In the meantime we have pictures of real dead and confirmed children in Gaza. It's chilling for me to see how the "potential" unproven news of a Israeli children being beheaded is apparently worth (two) million times more than all the Palestinian children shot point blank in the head by Israeli soldiers which has become far too common an occurrence.
Here's some confirmed and documented numbers of what Israel does to Palestinian children:
In the past 23 years, 2293 Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces.
And yet despite everything done by these NGOs and human rights groups, Israel did not budge and did not try to improve the conditions for these children in an open air prison
In the end I do sincerely hope that no child was injured during those attacks (but like I pointed out earlier, this is unlikely... any attack on any civilian area will leave children at huge risk given how vulnerable they are).
Israel has bent over backwards for the people in Gaza, including offering multiple peace deals and land that was literally never "Palestinian" as their own country.
When terrorists hide in civilian areas, the civilian deaths are the fault of the terrorists, full stop.
"Look at what you made me do!" - abusers, the world over.
This is a moron's interpretation of what is said above.
Given your habit of posting incredibly stupid takes, I'd avoid throwing out words like "moron" here.
