Sam,
Why is your ilk faking photos and stuff?

No one's faking photos. No one is faking a famine. War propagandists are faking news, as usual.


You are gullible.

You know not of what you speak. I could explain, but it would involve science...and we all know how popular that is around here.


The very people that were talking "science" over the last 20 to 30 years were the worst science students back in hs. And they were the gullible ones to swallow the global warming stuff hook line and sinker.

The MSM has not had legitimate journalistic standards for decades, if ever. CBS's payout to Trump was not the first huge screw up by them, not at 60 Minutes, not at CBS News. Anyone remember Dan Rather? Each of the other outlets have had multiple major scandals demonstrating zero integrity: NBC, ABC, CNN, NY Times, WaPo, Newsweek, etc ad nauseum. Heck, some reporters won the Pulitzer for lies about the Russian collusion hoax.

The MSM are fascist propagandists using the techniques of Joseph Goebbels. This is not an exaggeration.

The only scandalous thing about that photo is the dishonest lengths that some have gone to discredit it. The argument fails on several levels:

1. Even if one or a handful of photos was faked, it does nothing to diminish the real crisis in Gaza.

2. Assuming the people weren't being fed at the exact moment they were photographed, there's no disputing that they were at a regularly used aid kitchen. Even the German article admits that food started being served a few minutes after the Bild photo was taken. At worst, all this means is that the Palestinian photographer wanted to snap an image before the aid workers stepped in so he wouldn't have to shoot over their shoulders. There's absolutely nothing wrong or misleading about this.

3. As it turns out, the Time photo and the Bild photo supposedly debunking it don't show the same people and weren't even taken on the same day.

The real crisis in Gaza was created by Hamas and continued to be. They are directly harming their own citizens, stealing food from them, and preventing aid from getting to them. They are also using them as human shields.

Every single Gazan killed or harmed in this war is 100% the fault of the barbaric terrorists who started it on October 7, 2023. To make matters worse, western antisemites in and out of the media parrot Hamas propaganda. They are lying on behalf of some of the most reprehensible dregs of humanity on the planet.

Citing a German propaganda agency does not add credibility to your argument.

Some Israelis are criticizing the Netanyahu government's mass starvation policy, not because it's a crime against humanity, but because it's not working fast enough. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich explained why they have to at least pretend to feed the Palestinians. Otherwise the world might wake up and stop the genocide.

Quote:

We are destroying everything that is still left of the strip simply because everything there is just one big terror city. As part of the war, the IDF is moving the population out of the combat zones and not leaving one stone upon another. I'm telling you, just look at the videos of what's happening in the Gaza Strip. The population will move to the south of the strip and from there, God willing, to third countries. As part of President Trump's plan, this is a change in the course of history, nothing less. The bare minimum will reach the population simply so that the world won't stop us and accuse us of war crimes. The IDF is finally conducting a campaign against Hamas's civil administration and not just focusing on the military infrastructure. We are eliminating ministers, officials, money changers, and figures in Hamas's economic and governmental apparatus. For 2 and 1/2 months, we did not allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. This created tremendous pressure on Hamas and that's a good thing. But even pressure needs to be regulated so it doesn't blow up in our faces. When the IDF recently resumed maneuvering with full force to conquer the Gaza Strip, when the IDF is moving the population from the last places where they still had a bit of food and our greatest friends in the world, those who support us, those who understand that we cannot stop just short of total victory in destroying Hamas, when they ask us to help them to help us, and to refute the lies of starvation, we have to do it.

What will come in over the next few days is very little. A few bakeries handing out pitas to people and public kitchens providing a daily portion of cooked food. Civilians in Gaza will get a pita and a plate of food and that's it. That's exactly what we're seeing in the videos. People are standing in line waiting for someone to ladle them a bowl of soup. Would I want to avoid having to bring even a single grain into the Gaza Strip altogether? Not even for the civilians? Maybe so. I completely understand the anger. I completely understand the pain in our guts that we all feel as citizens. The truth is until the last hostage returns, we shouldn't even be giving water to the Gaza Strip. For a year and a half now, we've been beating Hamas to a pulp. We're dismantling Gaza and leaving it a pile of rubble with total and unprecedented destruction in the world -- and the world still isn't stopping us -- with the aim of achieving the one and only required outcome. Conquering Gaza, destroying Hamas, and bringing back all the hostages. In one word, victory.

US blocks Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and 80 other officials from United Nations' annual meeting in New York

The Palestinian Authority called the decision to revoke visas as "a violation of US commitments" which "contravenes international law".

Saturday 30 August 2025 02:00, UK

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and 80 other officials have been blocked from attending September's annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

US secretary of state Marco Rubio has revoked the US visas of delegates from the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), and denied others from applying for one.

It is the latest step by Donald Trump administration to target Palestinians with visa restrictions, and follows the suspension of a programme to allow injured children from Gaza to receive treatment in the US.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, scholars' association says
By Stephanie van den Berg
September 1, 2025

THE HAGUE, Sept 1 (Reuters) - The world's biggest academic association of genocide scholars has passed a resolution saying the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president said on Monday.

Eighty-six percent of those who voted among the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars backed the resolution declaring Israel's "policies and actions in Gaza" had met the legal definition set out in Article II of the 1948 UN convention on genocide.

Always a good time to do a recap of what professional associations of experts have told Hamas Harry that he breathlessly believed without question:

1. Covid was started by a Chinaman eating a bat and not by the Fauci-funded, gain-of-function research lab, located in Wuhan, China, with a history of poor safety precautions

2. Going to church would cause you to get Covid but going to a Burn Loot Murder rally would not.

3. Hanging a piece of plastic above a cash register will stop covid as well a "Sexy Mama" mask from Walmart.

4. The Russia Hoax was real.

5. Hunter's laptop was false.

6. Sex is not biology but assigned by parents at birth.

7. Mentally ill children that think they're the opposite sex should be given life-altering drugs but mentally ill anorexics should be given mental health counseling that attempts to get them to see reality.

8. Trump would start World War III by bombing Iran.

I could go on ... poor Hamas Harry has never realized that if they lie to you enough you should stop believing the liars and that "experts" are often political hacks.

It was DEBUNKED! - In honor of Harry!

The viral claim that a Gazan boy was "gunned down" by Israel's military inside a U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation site is false. The Daily Wire has exclusively confirmed that "Amir" is alive and in a safe, undisclosed location after a false tale about his death was spread by an American contractor.
The news that the boy is alive and unharmed debunks the claim made by former Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) contractor Tony Aguilar, who has garnered attention from politicians, major media outlets, and prominent podcasts such as the Tucker Carlson Show.
