President Biden said Wednesday that he has seen “confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children” in southern Israel following reports that up to 40 babies were butchered over the weekend near the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip – but the White House later walked back the commander in chief’s claim.
“I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children. I never thought I’d ever — anyway,” Biden, 80, told leaders of Jewish groups at the White House Wednesday.
But neither the president nor US officials have seen images or independently confirmed reports of beheaded children, a White House spokesperson later clarified, according to the Washington Post. The White House says that Biden based his remark on claims made by a spokesman for Israel’s prime minister and media reports coming out of the Jewish state.

These clowns are terrified of Iran, mostly Russia.
Impeach Brandon!
Is it true or not?
This reminds of Kuwait when Saddam was taking the babies in the incubators....and that was not true.
The main contention now seems to be beheadings of adults versus children. Some reporter stated both in the same sentence, but not specifically beheaded children.
I wondered about this on another Fr column and was over and over again insulted for simple asking if it was true?

So they didn’t execute 40 babies?
and everything out of the west isn’t called zionist propaganda anyway?
cool story, that I’m sure is relevant on some planet somewhere.
I believe Trey Yingst
He is becoming one of the most authentic of reporters through all this
He became emotional after arriving at a kibbutz……children were slaughtered
Personally I don’t want to see photos of slaughtered or beheaded babies….
….we know what Israel’s enemies do….there is enough evidence
But yes, I believe these children were shown no mercy
Exactly. Traitor Joe saying he saw the pics green lights anything. This sent panic once they realized that it meant they could no longer handcuff Israel. So now some can claim it was Israeli propaganda. Way to go Joe you dumbass.
What an embarrassment. Now, he and his team had better do the homework and follow-up with Yea/Nay on their original statement. Can’t leave this hanging.
No on Biden’s part; but the unnamed White House flunkies, perhaps.
Truly Bidenesque. Now even if these pictures are released, the Hamas supporters and sympathizers will claim that they were staged or photoshopped. A lying American President is the worst sort of propagandist.
Barack Obama: Don’t underestimate the power of Joe Biden to f-— things up.
More likely, that Biden DID SEE what he claimed; speaking “his ‘truth’” - like BLM, anti-Fa, “the Squad,” the alphabet agencies and media, plus other fellow, leftist, traveling identity crisis actors.
Obama wasn’t wrong about everything.
There is no doubt the Hamas terrorists killed babies and children. I don’t think it makes a difference how they were killed. If the beheading story isn’t true, then it was just used as inflammatory propaganda. This stupid discussion detracts from the murders themselves.
Maybe.
There’s actually surprisingly little video available from Hamas sources compared to the size and time of the operation. But, maybe that’s not so surprising:
Hamas seems to have had pretty good op sec overall. Their men would be compromising their locations if live-streaming their activities. If they recorded them, well, it looks like except for the Hamas taking hostages back to Gaza, which we do have some videos of, most died in Israel. The squad that killed the babies doesn’t much seem like a group intent on taking hostages...
True.
Biden going off-script is not helpful, though.
Dear Fellow liberals. Biden went off script. Please ignore.
