The 'Gaza famine' myth
Palestinian boy witnesses attack
(FRONT PAGE MAG) – It’s now quite clear that there are simply no facts at all — none — that will alter the fixed narrative of lies, distortions and blood libels with which the liberal internationalist order is demonizing and delegitimizing Israel.
The claim that Israel is starving the civilians of Gaza and causing an imminent famine has been pumped out incessantly since soon after the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war. In February, the United Nations said that more than a quarter of Gaza’s 2.3 million people were “estimated to be facing catastrophic levels of deprivation and starvation” and that, without action, widespread famine was “almost inevitable.”
In March, Biden administration officials told Benny Gantz – then a member of Israel’s war cabinet who was visiting Washington DC – that the “food shortage crisis” impacting Palestinians in Gaza was “intolerable.”
