German Paper: Gaza Photos of hunger/despair staged w/ Hamas

Germany's Sddeutsche Zeitung published an investigative report revealing how Hamas manipulates imagery to shape international opinion - successfully so, in many cases. The report details how the group stages images of hunger and despair in Gaza, using professional photographers covering the war.

While acknowledging the reality of severe food shortages in the Gaza Strip, the paper emphasized that many widely circulated images of emaciated children do not accurately reflect current conditions. Some of the photos are not from Gaza at all, while others feature children suffering from chronic illnesses unrelated to the war. One image obtained by the paper shows photographers directing Gazans to pose as though they were waiting in line for food.

Beware of fake news.A joint investigation by @SZ and @BILD reveals how Hamas uses "Pallywood", staged or selectively framed media, to manipulate global opinion.

At the center is Anas Zayed Fteiha, a Palestinian photographer for Anadolu and an open Israel- and Jew-hater, whose images are designed to evoke pity and fuel outrage. Despite his bias, his photos are published by major outlets like CNN, BBC, and Reuters.

With Hamas controlling nearly all media in Gaza, these photographers aren't reporting, they're producing propaganda.

This investigation underscores how Pallywood has gone mainstream with staged images and ideological bias shaping international coverage, while the suffering of Israeli hostages and Hamas atrocities are pushed out of frame.

So, nobody in Gaza is going without food, and there's no humanitarian crisis, and it's all a lie?

Or, it's a humanitarian crisis all right, one that generated a lot of propaganda.

Just curious what point you think you're making.
