The Hunger Narrative
“Israel is starving Gaza.”
That’s the line. You’ve seen it splashed across headlines, painted on protest signs, shouted from international stages. The UN calls it a “man-made famine.” Celebrities post black squares with #LetGazaLive. Social media reels show crying children with empty bowls, overlaid with dramatic music and a single, pointed caption: Genocide by hunger.
The accusation is explicit, and it’s powerful. What better way to cast Israel as a monster than to say it withholds food from children? No need to mention rockets, tunnels, or terrorists when you can show an empty plate and let the world assume who’s holding it back.
But there’s a problem.
That narrative has a kill switch. It’s called truth.
And the truth is this: yes, Israel has restricted aid into Gaza, especially during periods of intensified fighting. Prime Minister Netanyahu has publicly said that only “minimal” humanitarian aid will be allowed in—not zero, but not full access either. Tactical pauses have been announced to let trucks through. Convoys still move daily. Airdrops are happening. Israel even restored power to water pumps that serve Gaza civilians.

Hamas has been starving them for decades.
So where are photos of starving adults in Gaza?
The first victim of war is the truth. It never fails.

The MSM is a willing and eager participant in the lies, as are leftist politicians.
I am not Jewish and have no known connection to Israel, but there is a 100% overlap between being a loon and a bad person and knee jerk espousing these kinds of slanders.
I’m not even a Protestant with strong theological beliefs re: Israel. Catholic.
It’s a very easy and convenient litmus test for loons.
The UN is behind this
LOL
Do I get a free blanket?
Islam is a religion of lies. Lying just comes naturally to the fools who submit to it .
EXACTLY
AND THEY KEEP VOTING FOR HAMAS TO “REPRESENT” THEM
