I'm now seeing all the articles I read posting that retraction. What wild times we live in.

Accusing your enemies of killing babies is a story as old as time.

Anybody remember the claim about Iraqi soldiers pulling babies out of incubators during the invasion of Kuwait?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yep. Pure bullshit meant to push public sentiment towards war.

Upsetting that same play is being run again.

Well, Hamas did murder a whole bunch of civilians.

Fuck Hamas.

But cutting off food, water, electricity for 2.3 million people and basically destroying entire apartment blocks in Gaza while Hamas waits it out in their bunkers?

This is just revenge murder.

I agree this isn't a good look, but career ending?
