The NY Times left out some details in their "Starving Gaza Children" anti-Zionist story

The former newspaper known as The New York Times had a front page story in its Sunday edition accusing Israel of starving Gazan children to death. However, they kind of left some important information, which explains why nobody trusts the media anymore.

The rag reports,  “Obtaining enough to eat had already been a struggle for many in the blockaded Gaza Strip before the war. An estimated 1.2 million Gazans had required food assistance, according to the United Nations, and around 0.8 percent of children under the age of 5 in Gaza had been acutely malnourished, the World Health Organization said. Five months into the war, that appears to have spiked: About 15 percent of Gazan children under the age of 2 in northern Gaza are acutely malnourished, as well as roughly 5 percent in the south, the World Health Organization said in February.”

While the birdcage liner reports the Gaza numbers, they fail to report comparable numbers elsewhere.

For example, the World Health Organization, reports figures of “severe wasting prevalence [severe acute malnutrition] among children under 5 years of age” of 1.1% in the Marshall Islands, 3.1% in Oman, 2.4% in Pakistan, 4.5% in Saudi Arabia, 1.7% in South Africa, 5.5% in Syria, 2.7% in Thailand, and 5.4% in Yemen. The numbers were 0.7% in China, 0.6% in Cuba, 1.4% in Ecuador, 4.8% in Egypt in 2014, 4.9% in India in 2017, and 2.9% in Lebanon.

So let's consider this: the Times' hype about the "struggle due to the 'blockade'" it turns out that Gazans, before Hamas went on a murderous rampage against Israel, were eating better than some of the non-blockaded countries.

The so-called blockade was not intended to starve Gazans but it was intended to prevent Hamas from gathering more weapons in which to kill Israelis. Sadly, the blockade didn't work and Hamas confiscated food and supplies intended for Gazans and somehow that's Israel's fault?

Since the start of the war, the 5% acute malnutrition rate reported by the WHO, if accurate [certainly more accurate than their assessment of COVID-19] of those who followed Israel's instructions to move south puts them in about the same shape as residents of India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Syria.

How is it the NY Times hasn't put these countries on the front page of the Sunday Times? Oh wait--they aren't Gaza and the people they say is starving them are, you know, the Jews. It's the Jews who are responsible for the deaths of Gazans, not Hamas who uses them as human shields and most recently began shooting at civilians in the streets of Gaza because they were hungry and wanted to grab the food that was sent to them.

Believe me, if The New York Times could somehow link Jews to those other countries with people going hungry, that would make the front page, top of the fold.

Of course some of the Gazan kids are starving and suffering, but blame it on those scumcrumpets who started this war: Hamas. Every death that befalls a Palestinian civilian is theirs to blame. 

And you might also want to blame UNRWA who is no friend of, you know, the Jews. Recently, one UNRWA "worker" was killed alongside a top Hamasshole figure, and it wasn't during a job interview to help the children.
