The faulty intelligence of... Doctored images?

You're telling me that someone doctored images of beheaded babies to show Biden?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just fyi, it wasn't just Biden who was lead to believe that: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/21/october-7-forensic-analysis-shows-hamas-abuses-many-false-israeli-claims

But the investigation by the I-Unit, which examined hours of footage from CCTV, dashcams, personal phones and headcams of killed Hamas fighters, has also found that many of the stories that came out in the days following the attack were false.

These include claims of atrocities such as the mass killing and beheading of babies as well as allegations of widespread and systematic rape – stories that were used repeatedly by politicians in Israel and the West to justify the ferocity of the subsequent bombardment of the Gaza Strip, which has so far killed nearly 32,000 people. ‘Cannot tell whether they are gunmen or hostages’

After a thorough analysis of all available data, the I-Unit concluded that claims by the Israeli army that it found eight burned babies at a house in Kibbutz Be’eri were untrue. The analysis found that there were no babies in the house, and the 12 people inside were almost certainly killed by Israeli forces when they stormed the building.

This was one of a number of incidents where the police and army appear to have killed Israeli citizens. The I-Unit identified 19 such victims, but the true figure is likely to be higher. It also identified 27 captives who died between their homes and the Gaza fence in circumstances that have not been explained.

Can't find the article at the moment, but there was another one where they interviewed 2 of the civilians pushing the sexual violence and dead babies myths; 1 was truly reticent and ashamed of what he said happened after being shown evidence to the contrary and the other gentleman was a racist zionist who refused to change his story when confronted with facts and evidence.

TLDR: Israelis who witnessed the aftermath of the Oct 7th attack were provided further info about their claims being wrong, 1 tries to right his wrong, the other holds onto the false tale because he a zionist. A lot of false info was going around in the beginning due to the chaos that had not been properly vetted or verified by intelligence and reporting agencies. Not saying people weren't sexually abused, because lets be honest, men are garbage and there's a good percentage of men who would sexually assault if they knew there would be no consequences.

N.B. I am not a fan of the European, Zionist invaders given territory out of white guilt nor the dumb pigs that want to kill others because of the wrong imaginary friend or shade of brown skin.

That article doesn't say anything about doctored images of beheaded babies...

Yes it was widely repeated by a complicit media apparatus and the political class that supports Israel. That doesn't even mean it was believed.

In addition, after Biden claimed to have seen evidence, his staff almost immediately jumped in to later clarify that he had not. The most likely explanation is that Biden is a senile rabid Zionist who is only vaguely aware of what is happening and just repeats the same patterns he has held to for decades.

No, I didn't say any of that.

If you guys are interested in these stories, why don't you read?

I guess I do like it when people explain things to me and I don't have to do the research myself.

But it leaves you real vulnerable to sounding pretty dingus.

The facts as we know them now are that Blinken(US Secretary of State) was shown photos of babies burned to death and shot/stabbed, killed in a bunch of ways by hamas. If blinken saw those photos, Biden saw those photos. Some of those photos are publicly available.

Netanyahu and other israeli officials tweeted about those photos, Biden tweeted in sympathy, and it's hard to imagine he didn't see the same photos that the Secretary of State did in which one baby looks like it had its throat cut.

Biden tweeted that he saw pictures of beheaded babies.

The White House clarified that biden didn't specifically see pictures of beheaded babies.

So no, everything you wrote is either incorrect or unverified.

But at least we have the facts as they stand here now.
