The 40 beheaded babies story was an obvious hoax from the start, designed to generate bloodlust and justify the ongoing genocide of Gaza. Many of us debunked it in real time. @DionNissenbaum had better access than any of us, but chose to wait 6 months to write this half-assed thread politely challenging it, and downplaying it as a consequence of the “fog of war.”
No. This was an intentional disinformation operation originating from Netanyahu’s office, and spread with the connivance of the western press, including those who knew better but were silent, like Dion.
Unconscionable.
