took the tone of "see, there were not beheaded babies... the fog of war... bibi lied... just like the Germans in WW2" or call backs to the kuwaiti stories about war with Iraq.

Does anyone believe that it is so much better for Israel to fake claim that babies were beheaded as opposed to being shot? Or stabbed to death? or strangled? What exactly is the propaganda value you speak of in how the babies were killed?

In my view this is an attempt to make Israel LESS THE VICTIM of a terrorist attack IF it can be claimed that Israel lied about the details of the terrorism. In this case, a completely unimportant detail because, as you say, there is no moral distinction.

People were beheaded... the photos are posted (by Hamas).

babies were killed... the body bags are still being loaded into trucks... many of them are "small body bags".

The people who did this, and the people that support them, have given up any right to be part of the human race.
