Malnourished starving children in Gaza

This.

Hamas are playing the world with the lives of their own and Israel's women, and children. They seem to be a death cult. They know exactly what they are doing in the media. When they returned the Bibas family in pieces after straggling them...there was no deep condemnation. How tight is their grip on the media narrative. It's like big brother. Hamas says and many in the world listens. Free Gaza from Hamas. Free Gazans from Hamas. Listen to the voices of Gazan people NOT Hamas. Read up on how much aid is going into Gaza and then ask....who is taking it? Perhaps the fat terrorists?

Are you afraid of the truth? For anyone else who doesn't want to click. It's a photograph of a woman in Gaza holding a malnourised child. She is of normal weight as is the other child standing in the photo. I think it's legitimate to ask how only one child is starving here? Does she feed herself and the other child? Does the malnourished child have a metabolic disease etc. etc.
The important point about this is that a cropped photo showing only the malnourished child was on the front page of the Daily Express.

What's your explanation?

If you actually look at the photo - it's got a label from Al Quds News on it. That means it came from a Palestinian Arabic newpaper which is published in Jerusalem. How do you explain that?

We’re all randoms. This awful situation provokes very strong feelings, obviously.

1. they are starved by Hamas and Egypt
2. 60k is fake number
3. these people are Iran's agents
4. All pictures released were AI, photoshopped or pictured with well fed adults
5. USAID lied before about famine in Gaza in the past only to admit there wasn't one at all

Why does a random post by a random mumsnetter in the UK make anyone distrust Israel?

As an aside, I've been accused of being an Israeli agent on here which is hilarious and horrifying in equal measure. It's not like I post on this topic often, I'm literally a random who might post on a thread or two on active.

What's your explanation?

Your implying that the women is starving her own child. That's as bad as the people posting yesterday that is was ok to kill the Gazan babies in case they grow up to be terrorists. Absolutely shocking what people think.

The ONLY reverse image search results for this picture are pro-Israel twitter accounts, lots and lots of them, many suggesting she ate her other children, among other horrific comments.

I am not clicking this link and I recommend others also don’t

How about this woman? Any explanation why she has a perfect normal looking todder, is of normal weight herself, but has one clearly very undernourished child? Gaza Family

Have the good people at the International Criminal courts also been misled?

Do you think that this woman is eating nothing?

Sorry - in my post I asked for independent sources to help me understand their viewpoint as I can’t believe people who are totally pro-Israel don’t at least try and find sources beyond the Israeli government to support their views.

If the Guardian was my only source on the Israel-Gaza war, and if I only tuned into the BBC or TikTok, I might be in the streets chanting against Israel too.

OP: when you manipulate context, cherry-pick images—many of which are clearly staged, fake, or recycled from war zones like Syria (I’ve even caught The Times publishing contrived photos)—and prioritise a narrative over truth, you’re not reporting the news; you’re manufacturing consent for hate. We see the consequences of this daily here in MN, it’s evident on this very board.

And until we confront the media's role in anti-Israel bias and fuelling antisemitism, the truth will never get to see the light of day and it will be impossible to stop the tidal wave of hate.

I actually think the lot you are making life much, much harder for Palestinians and are part of the problem - your misplaced outrage is fuel for Hamas which is prolonging this war. That is shameful.

It's not independent or impartial. The poster asked what was shaping pro Israel viewpoints.

Do you mean www.knesset.gov.il? If so, I’m not sure they can be considered independent or impartial in this conflict. Of course, I will have a look but I’d appreciate some additional sources that don’t end in gov.il

What a stupid teacher. There is no comparison. What are the Israeli children supposed to think? Their country is constantly under attack despite efforts to protect themselves and agree to ceasefires. Hamas are always the ones pushing boundaries and starting everything up again. Are children supposed to learn they should not protect themselves from these attacks? This is nothing like Hitler.

War is cruel and those who tragically suffer are the innocents. Hamas could stop it tomorrow but they are getting well fed.
