Posting at the top to point out that if you saw the image of a starving child recently, you’re looking at images of a child with a genetic disorder and you should reconsider which media you consume.
You can also find more images of Mohammed al-Mutawaq, an 18-month-old with cerebral palsy, with his healthier sibling - which was cropped by the media to exaggerate claims of starvation.

If you see these or other pictures of starving children, you are looking at images of children intentionally being starved by Israel, and you should reconsider what you think of their methods and intentions.
- nailer 1y ago> Here's Osama, lying in a hospital (April 25th) Osama al-Rakab has cystic fibrosis. Again you should consider unfollowing CBC. https://x.com/DahliaKurtz/status/1949802614507368958 https://x.com/DahliaKurtz/status/1949802614507368958 > Here is a picture of Yazan, 2 (article from today) Who also has a medical condition, and whose mother and father are very clearly not starving https://x.com/ApostateProphet/status/1764033775862698302 https://x.com/ApostateProphet/status/1764033775862698302. You should consider unfollowing Unicef too.
- alkyon 1y agoYou should also reconsider what you consumes. Must be some nasty stuff if you claim that Gaza children starvation is a media conspiracy fueled by BBC and Unicef.
- nailer 1y agoI don’t think “no u” is an adequate response to the BBC and Unicef being exposed as Hamas puppets
- alkyon 1y agoExposed by whom? Israeli propadandists? Even if one of the photos among many represents a child with some other underlying condition apart from malnutrition, does this mean that starvation in Gaza does not exist? People getting shot dead trying to get food is also fake news? What a repulsive person you are!
- nailer 1y agoIt’s not one child among many - this thread has already shown you three. if you’re not following the conflict closely, you should also be aware that children from other Middle Eastern conflicts and AI are also frequently used, as well as Pallywood style films scenarios where you can occasionally see behind the scenes (you mind find #mrfafo entertaining). You can also just look at social media from Gaza to see supermarkets, dessert stores, and comments like “we have no bread so we had to eat rice” which are hardly indicative of a starving population. Meanwhile, there are actual atrocities happening in Syria and Yemen, but it’s not on the news because Jewish people are not involved. The New York Times has just admitted the child on their cover was already ill: https://x.com/nytimespr/status/1950311365756817690?s=46 https://x.com/nytimespr/status/1950311365756817690?s=46
- alkyon 1y agoOne photo among many others, didn't say it was one child only! It also could be that Israel propagandists send them to journalists to discredit any other valid evidence of starvation, which is more than abundant
