      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.

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

      What a piece of shit

      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.

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