You’ve heard it said before, “Desperate measures for desperate times!” When they have tried everything else to no avail, people will often make one more desperate attempt at achieving their goal. Is it possible that Hamas, finding itself in such a predicament, is frantically looking for its next opportunity to garner global empathy? How many hostages are still alive? Tragically, just a handful, and Hamas knows that once the hostages are released (dead or alive), there will be nothing stopping Israel from eradicating the rest of the terrorist organization. The current hostages are the final leverage that Hamas controls, and yet, they know that it is not for much longer, so they have to come up with something else to buy time, regroup, reorganize, rebuild tunnels, and rearm. How about a famine?
A mass starvation that would make the world–already turning its back on Israel–feel even more sorry for the poor “Palestinian” victims stuck in a pile of rubble in the Gaza Strip. This starvation narrative is pushed forward by Hamas and, as irrational as it might be, not vetted, and yet validated by mainstream media, politicians, and various personalities. The most obvious culprit might be the New York Times, who published a photo of a mother holding a “skin-and-bones looking” child in her arms with the headline “Young, Old, and Sick Starve to Death in Gaza: ‘There’s nothing.'”
There is a war in the region, so we should expect some level of disruption, like in every conflict. First aid, medical rescue, food, and water supplies might become more difficult to procure, and that is understandable, but to claim famine and total starvation is not even a stretch; it is a blatant lie, and one that the media is willing to boldly promote. How do we know for sure that there is no famine or starvation in the Gaza Strip?
There are thousands of pallets of food supplies inside Gaza. They are literally rotting in the sun, halted by Hamas, which wants to control distribution. They [Hamas] will go as far as to hurt their own people who get near the supplies, but of course, the culprit is Israel! Incidentally, if you do an internet search for photos using the words “pallets of food in Gaza”, you get pages of photos with people looking hungry, sick, and emaciated, desperately seeking food, but no photos of the thousands of pallets unless you choose to dig deeper into articles, and most people won’t. Are we being redirected towards propaganda and away from the facts? This would make Josef Goebbels very proud!
This is not meant to dismiss the crisis in Gaza, but why is it that the photos used by the media to “prove” that there is a total famine within the Palestinian population of Gaza are only photos of young children? Is it possible that it is done that way because children will make people feel more sorry about the situation? There are indeed many children in Gaza, but they are not starving, on the contrary, they have food supplies. Why isn’t the media reporting this instead?
When a complete famine is claimed, all people suffer, not just children. A perfect example is the rampant starvation during the Holocaust. As documented here, all people looked emaciated, because they all were! Starvation isn’t like a virus that some will get and others won’t. Famine is an equal opportunity killer, irrespective of sex, age, position or location. On some of the photos used as anti-Israel propaganda, very healthy and plump mothers hold emaciated kids. How does that work? Is the mother feeding herself so that she can have the strength to hold her child, who has received no food? The Guardian tries desperately to sell the lie about starvation to its readers, and yet, the mother in the photo looks well-fed. The Mirror spreads the same lies and uses another photo with a sick child and a well-fed mother. The BBC joins them by publishing a photo including mother and grandmother looking perfectly fed, holding a “malnourished” baby.
How about the babies themselves? Are they suffering from starvation or something else? As it turned out, the main photos used in this evil propaganda to demonize Israel were photos of kids suffering from Cerebral Palsy or Cystic Fibrosis. These two grave illnesses make it challenging to ingest food. In some cases, the photos used were of children from Yemen, not even from the Gaza Strip, but who’s going to check that, right? Again, let’s not ignore that starvation exists in other parts of the world, and let’s contribute to the solution there, but please don’t create a problem that doesn’t exist, simply to demonize Israel.
Hamas knows that they are running on fumes. The famine narrative seems to be working for now, and Hamas is also getting a morale boost by hearing that, so far, up to 40 countries, led by France and Saudi Arabia, are announcing that they will officially recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly this coming September.
Terrorism is now being rewarded by the global community with sovereignty over a country that has thousands of years of Jewish history, not to mention the biblical record proving ancestral ownership. Who would have thought that October 7, 2023, would lead to such a debacle of antisemitism?
Satan, the father of lies, is desperate. Hamas is irrational, delusional, and desperate because they are evil and influenced by Satan, who has already been defeated by Yeshua at the cross. As evil as they currently are, Hamas will be defeated shortly. In the meantime, please join me in defending the truth, both biblically and geopolitically, as it is critical that we remain on God’s side!
