    The US president spreading misinformation on the podium is wild.

    Almost reminds me of Trump but we have a good guy now.

        The difference is the kind of lies & propaganda both were willing to peddle. But I guess being a Biden supporter won’t allow you to see what actually happened here.

        By the time they reveal the truth of the WMDs we will be long forgotten and floating back into the universe as space dust.

          long forgotten

          I used day…week…month…year…decade because I realise many here were likely not alive/yet to start school when the reference started.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden addressed Jewish community leaders at a round table on Wednesday, where he referenced a gruesome claim made by the Israel Defense Forces.

    Later in the evening on Wednesday, a National Security official told NPR that Biden was referring to media reports when he made that remark.

    Later on Tuesday, IDF spokesman Major Nir Dinar told Insider that Israeli soldiers came across the bodies of babies, including some that had been decapitated, at the Kfar Aza kibbutz near the Israel-Gaza border.

    Dinar said the IDF “can not confirm any numbers,” but described the situation at the kibbutz as a “massacre” in which children were “brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action.”

    Dinar said the claim of decapitated babies was made based on what soldiers on the ground had relayed to him and others in the military.

    As of Wednesday afternoon, Palestinian authorities said 1,100 people in Gaza have been killed, including at least 260 children.


    The original article contains 524 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      This is a link aggregator website and he’s posting links, I don’t understand the issue? The links are to legitimate news sites.

      Everyone has a selection bias in what they post, but maybe you need to think about your own biases of you find it so offensive?

      As for this specific link, it’s a legitimate news source and this is an actual news story which has not happened in isolation. There are multiple news stories about the social media claim and that Biden seems to have confirmed them just now seems to be walking back from that claim.

      I don’t have an issue with him.

      But you should block him if you do. That’s what the feature is for.

      In fact, I think I’ll block you.
