Nice pallywood collection
More lies from the left media:
Unidentified individuals spray-painted “NYT Lies, Gaza Dies” on The New York Times building in Manhattan on Wednesday, with sections of the structure’s doors and windows also daubed with red paint.
The incident follows heightened criticism of the newspaper’s coverage of the Gaza conflict. The perpetrators remain unknown.
The graffiti appeared hours after The New York Times issued an editor’s note amending its July 24 article, “Gazans are dying of starvation.” Five days after publication, the Times acknowledged that its story referenced a Gazan boy, Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, suffering from severe malnutrition, but later learned from his doctor and medical records that the child also had pre-existing health conditions. The editor’s note underscored that the article had been updated to reflect these new details.
The Times credited photographer Saher Alghorra for the images accompanying the story. Media watchdog HonestReporting highlighted previous social media posts by Alghorra, in which he referred to Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack as “the Palestinian resistance in Gaza,” and described “thousands of missiles” targeting Israel as a response to actions at Al-Aqsa Mosque. After images of the child spread widely, the boy’s mother told CNN her son suffers from a “muscle disorder.”
Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel (Michael) Leiter sharply criticized The New York Times on social media. In an X post overnight Wednesday, accompanied by a video statement, he wrote: “The New York Times spread a lie about Israel across the world. And what’d they do when they were caught? Almost a week later, they shared a partial and weak correction with a tiny fraction of their followers. Too little, too late.” He accused the outlet of acting as a “mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda.”

Lots of truth out there Schmedley, you and others don't want to listen.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee criticized CBS News on Friday for selectively editing a recent interview with him, conveying a different message than the one he expressed in the full conversation.
“Ever wonder how the media edits an interview to give you a different story than the one they had?” Huckabee tweeted.
_________________
The less-than-four-minute broadcasted interview begins with Patta asking Huckabee whether he is “deeply troubled by images of starving children.”
Huckabee replies, “I’m moved when the photos are verified.”
The reporter follows by insisting that “there are real images,” to which the American official says, “Oh, I think that there are certainly people suffering in Gaza.”
In the full exchange, Huckabee answered as follows: “I’m moved when the photos are verified. I mean, we’re all moved when you see someone, especially a child who’s starving. But The New York Times published a picture on the front page of what was purported to be a starving child. Turns out the child had a birth defect and had not been starving.
“There were other pictures, for example, that were published of starving children in Gaza. Turned out one of them was from Yemen. One was from 2017. There was another photo that appeared to be somewhat staged, with photographer all set up to get pictures of a few people herded into a small area …”
________________
“Part of the reason is, is because you’ve had pallets and trucks full of food that the U.N. won’t take in because they say they don’t want military escort from IDF, but they say it’s not safe, and 87% of their own food every time they do take it in gets hijacked and looted. That’s their numbers. Those aren’t mine. I didn’t make that up. That’s what they report.
“So there’s not been a lack of food or even a lack of attempt. It’s been an inefficient way of getting it in. It’s been a problem because you have a terror organization who is stealing it, looting it, and then turning around and selling it to the people who are hungry,” Huckabee said in the full transcript.
________________
In the full exchange, which CBS News omitted, Huckabee went on to say: “Hamas made half a billion dollars last year, 500 million U.S. dollars stealing food, selling it on the black market in order to finance their activities. That’s stunning. That’s a real business they have. They put it in warehouses. Yes, there have been some of the just regular population who are looting the trucks.
“One of the things we heard at GHF feeding sites was people, when they first started coming, they said, well, this is the first time you didn’t have to pay for the food. They were used to having to buy food from Hamas at prices that Hamas was inflating because they stole something. And then they turned around and sell it.”
________________
Later on, Patta claims that “every single day there are people dying near GHF sites.” Huckabee retorts, “Tell me about the people dying at the GHF sites, in what way?”
Patta asks, “So you have no reports of anybody being killed near a GHF site?”—to which the U.S. diplomat says, “No, we’ve had reports that there have been incidences …, but forgive me if I’m a little skeptical and someone says these people are being killed in the GHF sites. I’m getting reports every day from them, every single day. If I would hear that, I assure you we’d be interested in getting the details. And if there was some random shooting of people who are coming for food, those people would be consequented severely.”
The full transcript shows that the following section from Huckabee’s answer was also cut: “We’ve had reports that there have been incidences, but we’ve also had reports one day that there were 27 people killed at a GHF site. We had the video to show that no one was even injured. Much less killed. But it went all over the world, the New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC, CNN, all reported [and] it turned out as a total hoax. It never happened.
“Did those media companies come back, some of them with a tiny little correction in the fine print, but the story went out there that 27 people had been murdered at the GHF side. It never happened.”
___________________
He says, “I think the negotiations are broken down completely because Hamas is not serious about negotiating. I’m not sure they ever were, but they certainly aren’t anymore. … I’m not sure there is a way to revive negotiations with people who were so savage that they would rape women in front of their families, burn elderly people in their wheelchairs, in front of family, and do the hideous things that they not only did on October 7, but they continue to do in torturing hostages that have been in these tunnels now for almost 22 months.
“So, if I believe that there was a way to sit down and reason with people like that I would love to see it happen, but you have to look at who they are and what they have done, what they’ve done to their own people. How many of their own people they’ve murdered in Gaza, and ask yourself, are these people that really want a conclusion? Do they want some level of stability? I see no sign of it.”
___________________
The CBS News interview closed, however, with Patta asking Huckabee about the claims that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, apparently pushing a narrative that the war should end.
“If Israel is attempting genocide, they’re really, really bad at it. They could have had genocide on October the 8th,” Huckabee was shown saying.
In the full exchange, he continued: “They could have dropped a few bombs and have annihilated all Gazans, it’s not that big an area. They certainly had the capacity to do it, and saw that in the 12-day war with Iran. It is the most ridiculous thing in the world to say that Israel is committing genocide. That’s absurd. On its face, it’s absurd. If they were trying to commit genocide, it would not have taken them 22 months.”

I ignore the shrill. hyper-partisan hysteria directed at the "other."
In this case, there is widespread condemnation of Netanyahu's scheme from across the ideological spectrum, domestically as well as internationally.
Far-Right Israeli Minister Condemns Plan for Gradual Military Expansion in Gaza
Netanyahu’s plan to take over Gaza sparks anger and threat of sanctions from allies
There's widespread condemnation of Netanyahu because of people like you spreading lies.
Schmedley, what about the starving children?

There is widespread condemnation because everyone is picking a specific point of view, and no one is considering that Netanyahu and his government have to balance and weigh all those points of view. It's not because there is consensus.
Smotrich and Ben Gvir think Netanyahu is not going far enough toward a decisive and permanent military victory.
The families of the remaining living hostages, and many in Israel, want them back with no consideration of short- or long-term cost. Completely understandable, but extraordinarily difficult to accomplish without a cost.
France calls for an international military force, but doesn't seem to be offering up a military plan, personnel, munitions or a date. If you are going to call for an international military force - put your money and your army where your mouth is, otherwise its just senseless performance.
UK calls for sanctions on Israel, as though sanctions on Israel will force Hamas to release the hostages, agree to a ceasefire, and negotiate a peace treaty. Again senseless flailing of hands and performance.

The “starving” kid has a genetic disease that the Israelis were treating in Israel for free. Israel was providing free power, water and medical care to the residents of Gaza. They got murder and terrorism in repayment.
Yes you're correct.....you need to work on that .
NYT made a correction to that article with the child stating he suffers from muscular dystrophy.....
Imagine that.
After NYT issued a correction, Hamas lovers attacked the Times building.

Hamas you idiot.
The Gaza Health Ministry, which is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals, said Tuesday that 80 children have died from starvation since the beginning of the war, while 21 adults have since Sunday. The ministry only recently began tracking deaths from malnutrition in adults.
The ministry, part of the Hamas-run government, said the death toll has climbed to to 60,034, with another 145,870 people wounded since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack.

There is more than one counter to this argument, but one is that HAMAS has deliberately and intentionally made themselves indistinguishable from the civilian population (itself a war crime).
Additionally, SOME people of Gaza have made themselves indistinguishable from Hamas by committing acts such as: contributing to the atrocities of October 7; providing intelligence to Hamas invaders; abducting civilians from Israel; holding hostages in their homes; performing acts of military offense, such as collecting intelligence, or sending their children to do it; filming and circulating Hamas video material; torturing hostages; cheering for harm done to Israelis and hostages.
Why do you keep posting known Hamas propaganda then.
