At least 66 children are dead of malnutrition in Gaza amid Israel’s war so far.So the pics of the "starving" kid in the arms of his perfectly-fed mother turned out to be propaganda. Who'd have thunk it.
Turns out he has cerebral palsy.
It's always good to be skeptical.Not arguing with that bro'.
Just sayin' that the trio (or however many it was) of pics you posted of that painfully-thin young boy turned out to be "fake" / propaganda.
To be fair, you and countless others online made the same mistake. I, OTOH, was sceptical from the get-go 'cause the mother looked completely-normal. Just didn't add up.
I always watch the footage shown in the MSM of young men raiding the aid trucks for food very-carefully. None of them is fat (normal for Gaza), but to-a-man they look virile, healthy and strong. Not even hungry-looking, let alone starving or remotely-underweight.
The propaganda is strong on that side. Always-expected that it would be the most-potent weapon / defence / justification from Hamas.
Nothing I've said diminishes the reality of the tragic situation there, mind you; let's be clear about that. Try to look at what I said as a temperate voice whispering from the ether in the interests of balance.
Carry on...
But, the fact of the kid having cerebral palsy is irrelevant, given that he has lost 1/3 of his weight since the blockade.Not arguing with that bro'.

Israel is purposely starving Gaza. They destroyed their ability to produce their own food; they block fishing, and they are blockading all food from entering. The systematic murder of an entire population is one of the sickest things I can imagine.
If you consider yourself a human with empathy, surely you can't support this.
Data compiled and published by Israel’s own government makes clear that it has been starving Gaza. Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, Cogat records show, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period.
You should fly there and help themAt least 66 children are dead of malnutrition in Gaza amid Israel’s war so far.
Al Jezeera..44 percent of the victims were children, with the biggest single category aged five to nine, followed by those aged 10-14, and then those aged up to and including four.
