How Western Media Became a Mouthpiece for Gaza "Hunger" Propaganda.
Jfeed ^ | 7/28/25

Posted on 07/28/2025 7:15:45 AM PDT by Words Matter

Viral images portraying a severely emaciated Palestinian boy as the “face of hunger in Gaza.” The boy, used as the centerpiece of a Hamas campaign, suffers from genetic disorders and muscle conditions, a fact largely ignored by most media outlets.

Heart-wrenching images of a severely emaciated Palestinian boy, spread by leading international media outlets as the “face of hunger in Gaza” and “proof” of widespread suffering due to the war, do not tell the full story.

Macron and many like him have been responsible for the horrible deaths of many Gazans. If they would stop being tools for the Palestinians, then Hamas would die.

Well, according to macaroni, palasteen is a country so...... Of course, that being said, perhaps the France surrender crowd could come into play and teach them how....

A simple look back to the demographics of Gaza over some decades would show conclusively that the population has been growing, the ooposite of a genocide.

Another simple look back to the actions of neighboring Arab nations would show that the "Palestinians" were not welcomed into their nations as any form of relief.

But as with many issues flooding the headlines and blog topics, propaganda is at work.

It has been 9 months and 22 days since Hamas went on the attack. In nine months a REAL genocide would have all the Gazans gone. They are not, in general, though a reported decline of about 6 percent in the last year suggests people fleeing conflict.

Anyone who sanctions the starvation of children is going straight to hell.

What news sources are you people reading?

Death and destruction has been going on in Gaza for almost two years.

Do some research.

The pictures show a malformed child held by a normal weight mother. Lies, lies and more lies.

Hamas has made it clear that killing noncombatants in Gaza is acceptable if it puts pressure from the international community on Israel. They say it openly without fear of being held accountable. Their supporters don’t care because they don’t think. They live in a post-reality world where facts don’t matter.

How? $$$$

Mouthpieces refusing to condemn hamas and gazans (for voting hamas repeatedly into power) are doing what they are paid to do thru the NGO’s.

Good catch. Israel tries to protect the route, but the UN objects to the presence of Israeli troops - the UN claims that Israeli troops inhibits the logistics of the that the UN says, is the natural flow of its workers.

Of course, the absence of Israeli troops, effectively allows HAMAS to penetrate the route and smuggle stuff / weapons.

Of course, THAT is why the Israeli troops must be involved - including several measures of inspection that requires slowing down the flow of legit supplies.

Gaza ‘famine’. Pallywood in action. Just have common sense. He eats leaves, but he doesn’t look like an famine victim at all.
He has a high-end smartphone, an internet connection and even a link in his bio to receive money.

Pallyweid - pallywoody lies and misleading - (Mohammed Al-Matouq: muscular disorder’).

Child ‘misleadingly’ presented as symbol of Gaza starvation ‘suffers from muscular disorder’.
Media outlets that used the image have been accused of leaving out critical context. July 28, 2025.

Bibi needs to wrap up the war in Gaza. Almost two years now. The war is bad PR for Israel.
