Yeah, I’m not so sure about that either. Not putting it past them, but doing that while supposedly gang raping the mother, “over, and over, and over”? Did they leave her alive? Might be a factual report, but other reports have been proven false. And again, not putting it past them, but this might be false reporting to stir emotions and reverse a propaganda war.
You bring up a good point. This is a war and one of the main weapons in any war is propaganda. As I’ve said, right now all we have to go on is two diametrically opposed claims. We can use context clues like past behavior on the part of Hamas to say this latest alleged atrocity is very much in character for Hamas. That much is obvious. This is why many herd are accepting the claim at face value. On the other hand, why others like Mo are rejecting the claim, that has to come from a standpoint of bias and has no context clues to support it.
But the bottom line is, at least as of this morning, we can’t say for sure this story is true or not. It would make perfect sense for it to be true. I’d go so far as to say it probably is true; key word being probably. But until there is actual proof, we cannot come to a definitive conclusion.

What people are failing to understand is that the story of extremes is usually in the middle. Were 40 children beheaded? Likely not, but they were likely killed. Does that make it better or worse? Was a child baked alive? Likely not, but does that make it worse than the parent and child bound together and burned alive? The points I am making are the ones that were verified by CCTV, Hamas Go-Pros or the post-mortem photographic evidence.
The IDF actually does a pretty good job from what I have seen in calling balls and strikes on this. Their spokesman actually spoke to the child baked alive issue. There is no need to embellish the evil Hamas did in October 7th, 2023. The Extremists will defend Hamas with stories of atrocities visited upon Palestinians from 75 years ago or talk about the children Israel is bombing….the ones they have either indoctrinated to their hate or are forcing to be human shields.
