The White House is walking back Biden's statement that he saw photographic evidence of beheaded children
An IDF spokesperson previously told Insider children were "brutally butchered" at a kibbutz near the Gaza border, but declined to provide evidence.
The US president spreading misinformation on the podium is wild.
Almost reminds me of Trump but we have a good guy now.
The difference is they retracted the statement. Never heard of such a thing under Trump...
The difference is the kind of lies & propaganda both were willing to peddle. But I guess being a Biden supporter won't allow you to see what actually happened here.
I’ll say it again and get dv’d to the ninth circle again: yea, Western governments do propagandize our own citizens. And spy etc
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden addressed Jewish community leaders at a round table on Wednesday, where he referenced a gruesome claim made by the Israel Defense Forces.
Later in the evening on Wednesday, a National Security official told NPR that Biden was referring to media reports when he made that remark.
Later on Tuesday, IDF spokesman Major Nir Dinar told Insider that Israeli soldiers came across the bodies of babies, including some that had been decapitated, at the Kfar Aza kibbutz near the Israel-Gaza border.
Dinar said the IDF "can not confirm any numbers," but described the situation at the kibbutz as a "massacre" in which children were "brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action."
Dinar said the claim of decapitated babies was made based on what soldiers on the ground had relayed to him and others in the military.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Palestinian authorities said 1,100 people in Gaza have been killed, including at least 260 children.
