[MEMO](https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231012-white-house-retracts-statements-accusing-the-qassam-brigades-of-killing-children/)

> Biden said during his meeting with leaders of the Jewish community at the White House: “I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children.”

> The *Washington Post* quoted a White House spokesman as saying that **neither President Biden nor any US official has independently seen any photos or verified reports on this.** The spokesman added that Biden’s statements regarding **the alleged atrocities were based on allegations by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman** and Israeli media reports.

**Of course Biden saw no such imagery- the beheading claims are a play on old tropes. And Biden was merely spreading wartime propaganda to be hungrily gulped up by the true believers**.
