The Gaza "starving children" meme, which only ACCELERATED since millions of meals have been distributed, is an orchestrated blood libel against Jews

The New York Times published a photo essay and article about supposedly starving Gazans, describing children there as "emaciated."

According to the Gaza health ministry, the number of people who have starved to death in Gazasince October 2023 is 60. And we've already seen that every one of those sixty who have been described by name in the media had other health problems that were their main reasons for death.

Let's compare the number of people who have starved to death in Gaza with other areas.

More children die in Ethiopia and Angola every day from starvation than have died in Gaza over 20 months.

Yet out of the New York Times tweets mentioning Ethiopia over the past two years, not one mentions starvation. One does point to an article that has one sentence about famine among reporting on its fighting, but there are more tweets about Ethiopian marathon runners than children starving.

I don't see a single article about Angola's starving children in the past five years of tweets - even though Biden administration officials, and Joe Biden himself, visited Angola in 2024.

There are four New York Times tweets that mention "famine" and "Sudan" over the past year. Compare that to 15 tweets that mention "Gaza" and "famine."

There are two New York Times tweets over the past year with both "Sudan" and "starvation." For Gaza, there are ten.

Far more people die in the US from starvation - 20,500 in 2022 - than in Gaza. Most of them are elderly, not children, but how many articles are about them? In fact, the only 2022 article I could find on hunger in America in the New York Times trumpeted how things were getting better, and did not mention a single death.

There is no famine in Gaza. There is hunger and food insecurity to be sure, and Israel is taking this very seriously - building aid distribution centers and their associated infrastructure takes time and effort, of which there is no parallel in the countries listed above and the many others that have thousands who die every year from starvation.

The new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation initiative has already distributed 4.7 million meals - yet virtually every story in the media does not mention that but repeats false Hamas claims of people being killed at those distribution sites and quote "experts" on how the GHF is not doing enough.

The "starvation" and "famine" articles and posts are nothing less than a blood libel. And the uniformly negative reactions to the successful GHF rollout in mainstream media - uncritically publishing Hamas lies and downplaying the incredible success of GHF - shows that this is a orchestrated campaign to slander Israeli Jews.
