Unless you want to see the pictures it has been. Don't try and defend the indefensible with obfuscation.

There's no real reason to feel Hamas is above doing so tbf.

As far as I xan tell it's unconfirmed. Where are these pictures?

 

[Alan]

Google it if you really want to see them, please. We don’t need to proliferate that stuff here.

I don't. At all. I'm after confirmation of the story.

I know, I’m just being a little precious.

The unverified claim leads the Times, Telegraph, Mail, Express, Indpendent, Sun and Metro.

Even if it turns out to be true it makes no difference. This is not journalism.

If it is reporting a fact I would say it actually is.

What an abnormal response

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Just read the Independent story. “Babies beheaded” is in quote marks and it is attributed to an Israeli army officer. They state clearly on two occasions in the piece that they are unable to verify his quotation. There is testimony from a survivor who personally witnessed indiscriminate shooting of civilians. Further there do seem to be plenty of bodies.

Isn't though. Metro has it in quote marks ffs.

To lead with an unconfirmed report is very worrying indeed. That's not journalism, it's propaganda.

What an abnormal response

Unconfirmed reports that Ruben Neves is a paedophile. That OK is it?

What a bizarre hill to die on. Is Saint Jeremy going to be approached for comment?

Wantng basic journalistic standards is a 'bizarre hill to die on'? Fuck me sideways.

Being unable to distinguish the population of the oppressed country you support from the terrorist organisation doing this or indeed the victims of atrocities from the Israeli government actions is definitely an odd hill yes.
