During his recent speech at the University of Massachusetts, Max
Blumenthal said that he does not deny that Palestinian Islamic jihadists
carried out atrocities on #Oct7... while using comedy to literally
treat those atrocities, including the cold blooded murder of Jewish children, like a joke to laugh about (and his audience
did). 
"40 Beheaded Babies"
A Western journalist reported that the IDF informed her that Palestinian
Islamic jihadists beheaded 40 babies, but she quickly retracted her
statement, admitting that she had misinterpreted the spokesperson's
comment.
Despite this, the Western press ran with the story, which was soon disproved, and Israel has since then been accused of exaggerating the #Oct7 pogrom in order to "manufacture consent" for an alleged genocide against the Palestinian people.

What did the Israeli spokesperson say that was misinterpreted? He said that Palestinian Islamic jihadists had murdered unarmed civilian men, women, and kids... 40 babies... and there were beheadings.
In Hebrew and Israeli culture, the same word is used for infants and children... kids of all ages are considered babies. This truly was something lost in translation. So, what's the truth?
On 7 October 2022, Palestinian Islamic jihadists intentionally killed more than a thousand Israelis. At least 800 of them were unarmed civilians. 38 were children, some of whom were infants... and it's not a stretch to think, after looking at the crime scene photos of their bedrooms, that jihadists went as far as to slit the throats of children while they slept.
There is no need for the Israeli government to exaggerate these atrocities. Even without "40 beheaded babies", what Palestinian Islamic jihadists did on October 7th should be considered an act of genocide... but because of Anti-Zionist propagandists like Max Blumenthal, people are treating this... the most heinous mass murder of Jewish people since the Holocaust... like a joke.
By the way... in Hebrew, the same word is used for beheading, neck breaking, or cutting a throat.
No. This isn't funny at all.
