Denial of Israel’s hunger is the farce of Orwellian Israel’s conflict and the two

For more than 21 months, most international media danced about the truth about the Israeli war on Gaza. It seems that the old news room clichés – “if it is bleeding, it leads to its application, in Western media news rooms, to Ukraine more than Gaza. When Palestinian civilians were bombed in their homes, when entire families were buried under the rubble, the coverage came slowly and cautiously and is often buried in the framing of” both sides. “

But when pictures of Palestinian children who starved to appear – the haunting faces, the structural ends, and the vacant stars – the transformation of something. The pictures were very brutal, unnoticed. The Western masses faced what the Gaza blockade really means. Once once, the gate guards in the media were not fully able to.

However, the interest of the world warned Israel, and the new Hasbra operation has been published. HASBARA means “explanation”, but in practice, it comes to erasure. Under the direction of Tel Aviv, supportive media agents of Israel began to “expose” the evidence of starvation. The Originian method was completely: not just competing for the facts. The eyes that you see.

We were told that there is no hunger in Gaza. It does not matter that the Israeli ministers have publicly pledged to prevent food, fuel and medicine. It does not matter that trucks have stopped for several months, and sometimes sabotage by Israeli settlers in broad daylight.

Israeli officials, who are spoken in the polished English, confirmed to the Western media, that this was all of the manufacture of Hamas, as if Hamas was somehow to deceive relief agencies, foreign doctors and every journalist in Gaza to hunger.

The advertising machine believed that it hit gold with one image. A picture in the New York Times showed a bone boy, Mohamed Zakaria Ayoub Al -Mutaqq. Israeli intelligence sources whispered to friendly outlets: it does not starve. He has a medical condition. As if this makes his horrific condition acceptable.

Go ahead and add the editor’s note to “correct” the record.

This is how Hasbara works – not by persuading people but by exhausting them. By converting each truth into a dispute, each image is in one row. By pushing the editors to “balance” a picture of a meager child with a government press release that denies hungry.

Imagine a report on the weather where one of the sources says, “It is raining”, and another insists, “No, it is sunny,” while everyone stands abroad, steeped from the rains. Gaza is the sunken fact, yet many Western media still feel that they are forced to quote from Weatherman in Tel Aviv.

Each honest report meets a set of emails, phone calls and social media sects, all designed to create enough doubt to make the editors retreat.

But the prosecution “does not starve. He is only sick” not an acquittal. It is acceptance.

A child who suffers from a pre -existing medical condition is brought to an extent that appears to be a skeleton that means that he is not deprived not only of the nutrition he needs, but from medical care. This is forced hunger and the doctor side by side.

Palestinian journalists inside Gaza, the only people who have been informed since Israel have banned all foreign media and killed more than 200 Palestinian journalists, starving alongside the people who reported them. In a rare joint statement, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Agence France Presse and Associated Press warned that its employees are facing “the same terrible conditions that cover it.”

At the height of anger at these photos last week, Israel allowed a landing of aid – some air drops and 30 to 50 trucks on the day when the United Nations says there is a need for 500 to 600. Some trucks have never arrived, were banned by Jewish extremists.

Meanwhile, a parallel mechanism has been transferred to the distribution of aid through the American contractors accredited to Israeli, which intentionally creates dangerous and chaotic conditions that lead to daily killings of aid applicants. Crowds of Palestinians who are hungry gather, to be shot by Israeli soldiers.

However, still deny. The official line is that this is not hunger. It is something else – not specified but certainly is not a war crime.

The world has witnessed famine before – in Ethiopia, in Somalia, in Yemen, in southern Sudan. Pictures from Gaza belong to the same category. The difference is that here, a strong country that is trying to hunger actively, is trying to persuade us that our eyes are lying to us.

The goal is not to persuade the public that there is no hunger but sowing enough doubt of paralysis of anger. If it is possible to make the facts mysterious, then pressure on Israel reduces. That is why every news room avoids the word “hunger” becomes an unwanted partner.

Hunger in Gaza is not side effects. It is a war tool, measurable in the calories that have been rejected, banned trucks and destroyed the fields.

Israel’s strategy depends on controlling the lens as well as borders. It goes to the extent that the Airdping Food aircraft is banned from photographing the destruction below.

For a short moment, the publication of the pictures of the Palestinians who starved the advertising wall, which led to the minimum privileges. But the siege continues, deepens hunger and mass killing expands. Now the Israeli government has decided to launch another ground attack to occupy Gaza City, and with it, the genocide will get worse.

History will record famine in Gaza. You will remember the prices of flour, sugar, children’s names and aid trucks are back. He will remember how the world allowed itself to be told, in the middle of the rains, that the sky was clear.
