Gaza starvation photos tell a thousand lies

Over the weekend, I embedded with the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza, where I saw the enormous quantities of humanitarian aid the United Nations has been refusing to distribute. What struck me most were the thousands upon thousands of pounds of baby food, baking under the Middle Eastern sun"jar after jar of mashed carrots, pureed potatoes and fruit blends. This food could have gone to children like Mohammed al-Mutawaaq.

"Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving," noted an unrepentant July 29 editor's note in the New York Times. The paper admitted it had "since learned new information" and "updated our story to add context about [Mohammed's] pre-existing health problems."

So they either didn't have any solid evidence of what they were reporting - or the NYT was engagement farming for outrage...

Either way, garbage news outlet.

A bit of context: Eitan Fischberger, the guy who embedded with the IDF to get this story, is a former IDF sergeant known for a strong rightist stance.

Famine is common in an extended war and during a state of seige.

Jesus, you just get more dense.

Jeff, you're such a guilliable lying peice of Pedo Loving ----.

U.N.: "We brought in food and supplies!"
Israel: "We paid criminal gangs, including ISIS, to attack convoys and steal the food and supplies."
U.N.: "But then its too dangerous for us to deliver!"
Israeli IDF guy: "Guess there isn't a humanitarian crisis because supplies aren't being delivered."
Jeff the Pedo Loving Moron: "See! No starvation! Israel is awesome and I love Pedophile Trump!"

This is really how stupid MAGAts and Genocide Bros. are these days.

(Even Israeli Human Rights Groups are confirming mass starvation is occuring. Jeff doesn't post or read those threads though.)

But he succeeds when he tries.

You're the one arguing about the possibility of starvation in an active war zone.

#5 At least he isn't Cheerleading the Murder of children.

You justify the inexcusable. Casually, 'Almost humorously.

Like the Sick Cockroach Censored.

Mass Murder isn't charmotor. it isn't humorous, acting like it is Disgusting.

IDF is actively destroying Hamas' ability to govern in Gaza.
Hamas alone is responsible for failing to govern aid in Gaza.
Signed,
IDF

Refusing to distribute?
IDF won't let the United Nations distribute food.
IDF has repeatedly killed UN workers in Gaza.

Humanitarian groups, UN heavily criticize new aid distribution plan in Gaza
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation politicizes aid, the groups say.

The GHF was first announced on May 19 -- three days after the Israeli government began its increased military operation in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel, "with our American friends," was creating a "system with distribution centers" that would be "secured by the IDF, preventing Hamas from reaching the area," to allow more aid to reach people in Gaza, referring to the Israel Defense Forces.

But I'm right.

And you can't argue otherwise.

Tired of Fact Checking stupidity.

Photos are supposed to be of starving children, and not just kids suffering from other illnesses?

Simple enough to prove, show their parents in the photo, since pretty much any parent would go without to make sure their kids have food.

Skinny parents in the photo means possibly hungry kids. No parents in the photo means they're at the all you can eat buffet while they're disabled kid is being used as a prop in Hamas's smear campaign against the Jews.

Why do you pretend to care?

Whether they die from starvation, or illness, that's one less human being for you to irrationally hate.

Bellringer - Why should we ignore all medical and food aid workers? Why ignore what we see? Why ignore what we know.

Show satellite images and tell me who the liars are.

And now we see that all those "Genocide Joe" protests were as many suspected a Russian influence operation to convince the pro-Palestine parts of the Dem base to either vote for Putin Pal Jill Stine or for Dotard. How do I know? Things in Gaza are immeasurably worse now than they were during the election and I have YET to see any coverage of a "Genocide Don" rally. It's like all those people slipped away into the ether, strange, no?
