PALLYWEID UPDATE: "Rinse and Repeat: Another Gaza Famine Lie Goes Viral Another Image that Lied"

My comments:

1. After almost two years, all they can come up with fake Famine images. That tells a whole lot about nothing.

2. This is not journalism. It's to shock. Not report.

Rinse and Repeat: Another Gaza Famine Lie Goes Viral​

Another Image that Lied​

On 23 July, the tragic image of Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq shook the world. Headlines told a story of a boy being forcibly starved in a Gaza famine. My research quickly exposed that story as a lie. Muhammad had cerebral palsy, had been sick since birth, and his siblings were healthy.

Barely a week later, legacy media played the same trick again – this time with a young girl called Maryam.

We are told Maryam was evidence of Gaza’s ‘catastrophic hunger crisis’:

Embarrassingly, the Irish Independent even used her image as a defence against the earlier fake – suggesting Muhammad was an isolated case, but Maryam was proof of mass starvation. The LA Times quoted doctors claiming tests showed ‘no underlying medical condition’ and that her condition was solely the result of hunger and malnutrition.

All of this was false.

Cropping out the Truth​

Coverage of Maryam’s tragic case involved deliberate omission. She has siblings – all apparently healthy. In some of the photos, they were present on the same mattress. Editors cropped them out, because their health would expose the lie.

If this were widespread famine, her siblings and mother would also show signs of starvation. They do not.

In one photo you can even see the legs of a healthy sibling just inside the frame:

And in this image, from the same photoshoot, we can clearly see the young, healthy and well fed boy:

Every honest journalist would know that if the family is healthy, then the child has an underlying illness. They chose to cut that part of the story away.

So do I. He's just a day late.

Not that even Maryam's medical records are going to convince the Jew-haters.

"What makes this latest famine hoax even more astonishing is that it comes barely a week after the last one collapsed. In that case, international outlets took the image of a child with healthy siblings, a boy suffering from a tragic but very specific medical condition (CP) and presented him as evidence of mass starvation.
The lie was so blatant that even the New York Times and other major outlets were forced to roll back their claims once the truth emerged.
Incredibly, the same terrorist-supporting journalist – Ahmed al-Arini – appears to have broken both stories (1, 2)."

'We were not aware Gazan woman had leukemia,' says BBC after claiming she died of malnutrition.
Jerusalem Post | August 18, 2025 | Matilda Heller.

In a statement on Monday, a BBC spokesperson acknowledged that the broadcaster was "not initially aware that Marah Abu Zuhri was being treated for leukemia."

Following criticism, the BBC admitted on Monday that a Gazan woman it claimed had died from starvation was also suffering with leukemia, and amended its article accordingly.

International media widely reported over the weekend that 20-year-old Marah Salah Mahmoud Zohry died from malnutrition in an Italian hospital after being evacuated from Gaza.

The BBC subsequently tweeted that Zohry "died of malnutrition," and titled its article in the same way.

However, on Sunday, Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) revealed that Zohry actually had aggressive leukemia, and shared a medical report for Zohry from Gaza’s Nasser Hospital Cancer Center Outpatient Clinic, which stated that her blood film results were “in keeping with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).” If untreated, the average survival rate of APL is said to be less than a month.

Following this, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel, condemned the BBC and urged it to "retract the story and apologize."

Sir Michael Ellis, a former attorney-general, told The Telegraph: “The BBC’s anti-Israel reporting is an international embarrassment."

Lord Austin, the government’s [Britain's] trade envoy to Israel, told The Telegraph that BBC director-general Tim Davie should resign if he “can’t get his house in order.”
