“This is not an occasional thing. This was day after day after day operating on children who would say, ‘I was lying on the ground after a bomb dropped and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me and shot me’.”

Thanks Biden.

We have international organizations confirming the IDF are literally murdering children and journalists are telling us "well we can't really be certain of these things".

My mind turns to all the people lynched at the end of world War 2 who never fired a bullet but were guilty all the same.

Do you have any sources about this?

I had suspected stuff like this happened at the end of WW2 but I've never heard any concrete stories

I recall two instances. Brno death march and the deliberate bombing of Berlin civilians. Many died in the expulsions. However this probably doesn't begin to cover the topic.

There was the famous Der Sturmer (original stormfront before reddit), Julius Streicher: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Streicher

From the execution portion relevant to today: "They further argued that he kept up his antisemitic propaganda even after he was aware that Jews were being slaughtered."

There was also William Joyce, executed by the British, and collaborator Philippe Henriot, killed by resistance members.

I've also heard of lynched propagandists but was only aware of these guys.
