If I hear 'the Gazans are starving' one more time.....

Practically the entire world is convinced that Gazans are starving. Worse still they blame their suffering on Israel who was the victim of of the most brutal terror attack in my life time committed by those very same Gazans!

Let me be one of the small voices of truth and squash the lie that Gazans are starving. Let's start by watching this short clip of one of the Jewish hostages, Evyatar David who is actually starving to death and being tortured by being forced to dig his own grave in one of the many tunnels built by Hamas.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/a-living-skeleton-buried-alive-hostage-evyatar-davids-family-publishes-clip-of-hamas-video/

The video was produced by Hamas as a propaganda tool to humiliate and degrade all Israelis. And to instil fear with the rest of the cowardly world. 



A cottage friend who was obviously on the Left (ie. hates Trump, Bibi, Conservatives, Republicans, IDF) asked me about the starving Gazans. That's what prompted this post. I hope she reads it. Not so much about what I write but because it has real photographs and video of just one of the approximately 20 Israeli hostages who are still alive (I hope). I answered her on the spot that the only people who are starving in Gaza are the hostages. 

Mark Twain brilliantly posited this years ago: 

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."

I'm sure he's rolling in his grave after witnessing the vile behaviour of not only the Islamonazis but of the world at large who's vile hatred toward us (Jewish people) has exploded after Oct 7 2023 and continues to grow exponentially throughout the western world. 

This same cottager asked me why is the whole world upset with Israel and their government. I told her that there was a brief period after the Holocaust in WWII when antisemitism was pushed under the covers. Simply because it would be too grotesque to resume hating Jews too soon after 6 million of them died in the most horrific way. But that Jew hatred, the oldest hatred, has never stopped. For thousands of years, many in the world hated us and this has not changed. There are times when they might hate us less but the hatred is a constant. Some of us want to pretend that it's gone. But I think Oct 7 helped to remind them that it hasn't. So my answer to her in the end was simply: Jew hatred. The constant wars with Israel have nothing to do with territory or even politics. 

Certainly I can understand why people  like her buy the lies. Here in Canada our Liberal government, like quite a few other western states, have announced that they will vote for the creation of a Palestinian state in the UN. They are in effect rewarding the criminal behaviour of arabs who call themselves Palestinians (there are no such people!).

Every day, every hour on just about every news channel on TV or on the internet, Gazans are always in the news. Not because of what they did to 1200 innocent Israelis who went to a concert, but because they want to brainwash us to think that the victim (Israelis) are the aggressors.

I asked the AI portal ChatGPT: Are the Gazans starving. Here's the response:

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) states:

    “People are already starving, sick and dying,”
    with nearly half a million in catastrophic hunger and three-quarters facing emergency or worse food deprivation. World Health Organization

  • The UN’s IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) warns that 470,000 people are enduring catastrophic hunger (IPC Phase 5), and all of Gaza’s population is experiencing acute food insecurity. un.orgunicef.org

  • Time magazine report (U.N.–backed) confirms the “worst-case famine scenario” is unfolding, recording at least 122 starvation-related deaths, including 83 children, and tens of thousands of malnutrition cases. TIME

  • The Guardian, via UN OCHA data, states 98 children have died of acute malnutrition since October 2023, with over 217 famine-related deaths reported. Only 14% of needed humanitarian supplies have been entering Gaza in recent weeks. theguardian.com

  • Medics from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) describe the situation as “absolute famine,” especially affecting children, warning that food distribution has become violent and uneven. Cadena SER

Summary

Yes — Gazans are starving right now. Humanitarian agencies confirm catastrophic hunger, rising malnutrition and deaths, especially among children. Aid is critically insufficient, and the situation meets the parameters of an unfolding famine even if not formally declared.

Note the sources that ChatGPT uses. They are all antisemitic, anti-Israel and on the left. Not one source from Israel or from the Right. 

Warning: If you only hear 1 side of an argument or issue, be very wary!

No photos like this are published by the MSM:




I am in no way saying that most Gazans are doing fine. They lack food and housing. But who's to blame? They are! Because they voted in Hamas and Abbas's Palestinian Authority. Worse still are the 'humanitarian' agencies (an oxymoron) like the UN who are in charge of getting and distributing aid to the Gazans (never G-d forbid to the real victims- Israelis), who refuse to do their job. Hundreds of tons of food are sitting in huge trucks in Gaza, untouched and being spoiled by the intense heat. Once in a while Hamas hijacks these aid trucks or they get looted by other Gazans. 

Of course there are the numerous Pallywood produced photos of starving children in Gaza. This one went around the world numerous times and is still being published by the MSM:




The only problem is that this child has a serious genetic disease and is being treated in Italy. If there was actually a serious starvation or genocide in Gaza, they would not have to make up scenes like the ones we see ad nauseam. 

So please spare me. If I hear that the Gazans are starving one more time, I'm going to lose it.

The world is buying it, at least those in the world who hate us. My issue is with Jews who parrot these Hamas lies. They’re the ones that the haters say give credibility to the lies.

Well said Leon, I totally agree with your assessment of the situation. The two important aspects left out of this whole discussion are, number one, 90% to 100% of the Gazan’s and the West Bank Arab residents celebrated openly the massacre of October 7. So please don’t try to convince me that the Majority of the Arab population is peace loving. They are not. Number two in judea and Samaria, the reason there has not been an election in the last 20 years, is because the PA knows full well that the Arab population would be voting Hamas in and voting the PA out. Again no indication of where these peace loving Arabs are. It’s time to move them all to Jordan or any other Arab country. Israel belongs to the Jews and is welcoming of other ethnic group who wants to live peacefully in the only Jewish home in the world.?

Believe me, I would never try to convince you or anyone else that the majority of the arab population because as you stated, they are not. I make no distinction between Hamas, Gazans and those arabs living under the PA in the territories. Ongoing polls conducted by arab media confirm our thoughts. Most were thrilled by what transpired on Oct 7. Although it might be true that finally some Gazans are pushing back at Hamas as their lives are being made miserable by them, they still are happy to kill Israelis/Jews.

Sad but true.
