Who confirmed it for those news organizations? All I've heard is that the IDF said "we swear it happened, bro, just trust us"

You're kidding, right? So IDF soldiers who were interviewed as they were moving bodies out of the kibbutz were just lying?

Don't do this. Don't carry water for barbaric, inhuman acts like this. You can support Palestine's freedom without condoning the beheading of children or trying to convince yourself it didn't happen. Too many independent reports have corroborated it now. The BBC interviewed individual soldiers who had to deal with the insanity afterwards, and they'll be scarred for the rest of their lives by what they've seen. Don't belittle it.

And don't belittle the Palestinian quest for freedom by defending monstrosity done in their name. Hamas isn't Palestine.

Personally I would like it corroborated with bonafide evidence rather than word of mouth of a belligerent party. I'm skeptical, but only for the above. I imagine if there is truth to this that a human rights watch dog will seek the same proof.

But with that said, I didn't need a report like that to condemn Hamas for this renewed conflict in the first place. This does absolutely nothing to help the Palestinians and absolutely everything to hurt them. Every way you slice this you just end up with senseless tragedy and loss of life on every side.

I just heard an interview with an Israeli who saw it firsthand, the interview was on CBS news. I think that's a respectable enough organization to assume it's true until proven otherwise by watchdogs.
