Much has been said in the press about the poor innocent starving people of Gaza — but what’s lacking is truth and context.
First off: The Palestinian people living in Gaza wouldn’t be reported as starving right now if Hamas had never attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas started this war. And sadly, sometimes civilians are the casualties of wars.
But second off: The New York Times learned a hard lesson about truthful reporting on starvation data coming from Gaza when they published a photograph of a young child who was obviously undernourished — but rather than report accurately that the child’s physical issues were due to lingering health problems, the newspaper chose to go with the Hamas narrative and suggest that Israel was starving the children in Gaza.
It’s impossible to obtain truthful reporting from the United Nations, much of the mainstream media and from many politicians on the left, because they all take their data and so-called ‘truth’ from Hamas-manufactured reports.
Chapin Fay, on the ground in Israel and Gaza, says his organization, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, has been feeding the people of Gaza for months now, and have served up more than 170 million meals — and that while it’s true, the Gazans are hungry, it’s not true that mass starvation is occurring — and it’s especially not true to suggest the IDF is purposely starving the Palestinian people.
Rather, the opposite, he said.
