      Ok, Israel decapitated Palestinian babies and the media are not reporting it.

          From Up First:

          Disturbing description of violence against children

          [A witness] says he found one kid with his stomach sliced and his intestines out. Another child had been decapitated. He also said he saw children in body parts.

      As someone who watched the video, I don’t think anyone in that situation cares about your distinction.

          I’ve seen enough shock images posted online for a lifetime already. The audio from the witness on NPR’s Up First was enough.

      No they aren’t.

      Decapitate is used in the definition of behead.

      Behead is used in the definition of decapitate. What kind of weird-ass apologia are you doing here anyway.

      You’re trying to deflect from a story about murdered Palestinian children with a “Well, ackchyually…”

      What a piece of shit

      I’m not sure how material the difference is, but you’re correct: beheading is deliberate decapitation. I assume they’re just being sloppy about definitions.

        I’m pretty sure that dropping a 2000lb bomb on a refugee camp is deliberate.

      Thanks for informing us. Of course you know this isn’t the most important thing about this, but at least I learned something new.
