Media Share Misleading Images Of Gazan Child To Falsely Accuse Israel Of Mass Starvation
The Daily Wire ^ | Jul 28, 2025 | Hank Berrien

'Ignore the medical reality, strip the context, and turn her child into a propaganda weapon.'

Media outlets have employed a photo of an emaciated Gaza child to substantiate claims that Israel is intentionally starving residents of the Hamas-controlled zone.

But the legacy media never reported that the child, now 20 months old, suffers from numerous medical problems — nor that his three-year-old brother looks healthy with no signs of malnutrition, according to an investigation.

This viral image of a child in Gaza was misreported as proof of starvation caused by Israel. In reality, Muhammad’s health condition, not hunger, is the issue. It’s time for the media to correct their misleading coverage. https://t.co/UnE28pyyrb

Published initially on Instagram with the caption, “A body eated [sic] by hunger, and eyes looking for mercy in a deaf world,” the visuals went viral after The Daily Express showcased them on its front page.

“Within hours, almost every major outlet was using the image to tell the same story,” investigative reporter David Collier noted. “Sky NewsCNNThe GuardianDaily MailNew York Times, and The Times (UK) – they all ran with it, reinforcing the message: Gaza is gripped by mass starvation.”

“Except this image proves none of it,” he said.

“Wider and unpublished pictures show Mohammed’s healthy brother Joud, who was born on 18 April 2022 and is 3 years old. Mohammed was born on 23 December 2023, just two months after October 7. What we can see from the pictures is that both Mohammed’s mother and his older brother, look healthy and are not suffering from any type of starvation that would be...

HAMAS is deliberately starving their own people for propaganda purposes.

Golda Meir WAS CORRECT:

“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

The child’s very rare genetic condition is caused by inbreeding via first cousins or siblings.

And according to the Lame Street Media it was probably the Israelis who committed the Oct. 7th on their selves and not those poor innocent Hamas terrorists who just want peace ... Riiiiight!

Western news agencies and papers have relied on Hammas-backed health agencies for statistics and death data since the invasion of Israel by Hammas. Recognized agencies, like WHO and others, state that those statistics are a fabrication, often off by a factor of 2 or more. As to starvation, the southern entry point with Egypt remains open and relief supplies are being let in, but as soon as the trucks enter with the aid, Hammas commandeers the trucks, keeping most of the aid for themselves. If they have food left over, they sell it to the people, after collecting a 16% “defense” tax. Western papers won’t report this.

The Hamas terrorists and their UnitedNazis enablers continue to prevent full distribution of the hundreds of TONS of FREE food, provisions, and supplies that both Israel and USA have shipped into the Gaza district. But, Israel and USA ARE managing to get a great deal of free food and supplies in ... by a variety of means including setting up IDF-guarded distribution sites, working with locals where available, and even air drops.

Not incidentally, all this “humanitarian” effort is totally unprecedented during times of active hostilities. Even the USA’s Marshall Plan (itself highly controversial at the time) was not commenced until AFTER Nazi Germany surrendered. Before then, USA and UK did exactly what militaries do — attempt to cut off enemy supplies. Plus, firebombing German cities, let’s not forget. Neither will we forget the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. All before enemy surrender, of course. After, humanitarian relief .... fine with me.

Finally, a great big hole needs to be blown open in the Egyptian blockade of Gaza district. Egypt is keeping their kinsfolk as prisoners in Gaza, not even permitting them to return to (many of them) their historical homelands (Egypt, Arabia, etcetera) or to transit elsewhere as they may wish. Some have relations in other Moslem countries and France has welcomed them all ...

But there are TONS of Free food, donated by USA and Israel, in Gaza today. Defeat Hamas and everyone will have a feast.

am I supposed to feel sorry for these people. Im sorry, 90 percent of Gaza IS Hamas, they voted for Hamas, helped orchestrate the Oct 7th attack, went into Kibbutz’s and killed innocent people, took hostages into Gaza and are holding them at this very moment in their homes so sorry, I dont feel an ounce of sympathy for the majority of them, they made their damn beds

And are we surprised that what the media portrayed President Trump during his campaign? No. The demoncRATS are supporting Hamas. Therefore, the media supports Hamas and any and all attempts to smear Israel with its lies and half-truths. Don’t trust the media.

If President Trump came out in support of Hamas, the lunatic Left would support Israel.

Tagline. Read.

Assume everything coming from Hamas is a lie until confirmed by a credible source. Only the lying media takes everything they say as gospel.

“their historical homelands (Egypt, Arabia, etcetera)”

That is an oversimplification. Genetic studies indicate that Gazans have from 66% to 80% of their genes from Levantine populations. They share this with Mizrahi and Sephardi zjews, with Druze, Lebanese Christans, and Samaritans, reflecting a common heritage.

They DO have about 20% Egyptian/North African genetics, about 8 to 12% “Arab” ancestry and also traces of European ancestry.

They have, among their ancestry, Judeans.

These Gazans are Arabized Levantines in the main, just like “Arab” Syrians, Iraqis, Lebanese, Jordanians

You are incorrect

There was only one bite , in 2006, where Hamas won 44% of the vote. There has been no vote since then

Imagine if you say "In 2008, 44% of Americans voted for Obama. After that Obama had no voting. So now, in 2025 all Americans are responsible for Obama"

Those who cheered on or participated in October 7th are culpable, yes, but not everyone.

I support Israel going in to get it's people freed. And I support them continuing this war until the hostages are freed. But I can sympathize for the few innocents caught in the crossfire. Israel takes care to minimize the danger to them, but cannot eliminate it completely
