• Verifying the Hamas Baby Beheading « Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog

  One should always question any narrative that fits a little too neatly into your preconceptions.

• Scene of a 'massacre': Inside Israeli kibbutz decimated by Hamas fighters - ABC News

  In one home, ABC News observed a child's bed drenched in blood. In other homes, meals were left untouched on tables.

  Many of the killed terrorists were seen lying next to the motorcycles they stormed into the community on. The wreckage of motorized paragliders used to swoop into the community was strewn in the streets.

  Referring to Hamas' attacks in Israel, the president said, "Parents [were] butchered using their bodies to try to protect their children" and described "stomach-turning reports of babies being killed, entire families slain."
