A new investigation raises serious allegations against Anas Zayed Patia, a Gazan photographer accused of staging suffering scenes to serve Hamas propaganda. A recent investigation by the German newspaper Bild has raised concerns about Gazan photographer Anas Zayed Patia, alleging that he was involved in staging humanitarian scenes used in pro-Hamas media narratives. Patia, whose work has appeared in various international newspapers and news agencies, is accused of selectively curating images to highlight suffering in Gaza in a way that may distort context and serve political messaging against Israel. One widely circulated image captured by Patia shows a group of people appearing to wait desperately for food. However, the report claims that those individuals later received aid, questioning why the full sequence of events was not documented or shared. The investigation also notes that Patia maintains an active presence on social media, where he frequently posts content in support of the Palestinian cause. In one instance, he shared an image with the caption "Free Palestine" — a slogan commonly associated with Palestinian political movements. Following the report, several news agencies have reportedly announced they will cease working with Patia, citing concerns over objectivity and the authenticity of the images provided. Media outlets stressed the importance of verifying visual content before publication. Patia has not publicly responded to the allegations and has yet to address questions regarding the circumstances of the images in question. The investigation also states that Patia identifies as a journalist for Anadolu Agency, a Turkish state-supported news outlet known for its pro-Palestinian stance and ties to the Hamas-affiliated narrative.

Staging scenes of suffering, you don’t say? Surprised, not. Anything for emotional porn to make its feelings known and take effect. I suppose if Hamas hadn’t butchered 1,400 Israelis in the first place, there wouldn’t be the need for staging anything. But then again, what’s a muslim to do, when his holy book explicitly says to kill Jews wherever you may find them. And since it is the literal word of allah, and is unchangeable, I guess the carnage will continue every chance a Palestinian gets a chance. A conundrum if there ever was one. As for the Middle East, endless wars forever.
They just let the main stream media do it for them. For free.
Kill him too.

The plo the hamas, the pals have a long history of LARPing, all the dead kids usually have been paid already and were put in new cloths, then they forget to have them change cloths when they stage another fake atrocity.
Some of the best fiction / fantasy shorts have been performed by the “white hats”. Of course they do have a lot of bloopers like dead guys checking their phone on live cameras or looking their watches, blown up bodies that are in immaculately clean cloths almost like the air strike had included dry cleaning....

Well said
During the Syrian Civil War all sides were pumping out this kind of propaganda but I guess nobody in the West was paying attention because now they’re swallowing it hook, line and sinker.

TIME’s ‘Starving Gazans’ Cover Under Fire: Photographer Linked to Shocking BILD Exposé
TIME magazine is under renewed scrutiny after emotional testimony from Gaza-based photographer Ali Jadallah, whose deeply personal losses raise concerns over potential bias in conflict imagery. Critics question whether his work, used on TIME’s August 1 cover, reinforces a pro-Palestinian narrative amid allegations of staged photos and links to Anadolu Agency, the same outlet tied to a BILD exposé.
