Media Lies about Fake Martyrs and Famines Fuel Antisemitism

(JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - Many in the mainstream press have been acting as Hamas's stenographers since Oct. 7 - accepting flagrantly false statistics about civilian casualties as truthful, downplaying or denying the Islamist group's genocidal goals, and falsely alleging that the Israel Defense Forces have been committing war crimes when, in fact, they take greater care to avoid civilian loses than any other modern army. Currently, the main anti-Israel media talking point is an effort to revive the myth that there is a famine going on in Gaza. With Hamas refusing to release the remaining Israeli hostages it still holds, and also showing itself unwilling to lay down its arms and give up control of the Strip, Israel has stopped the flow of aid into areas the terror group controls. It also plans on taking control of the distribution of food and fuel to prevent Hamas from continuing to steal most of it. Palestinians in Gaza are suffering from Hamas's continuation of the war it began on Oct. 7, but there remains no evidence of famine or anything close to it. The responsibility for this situation belongs to the terrorists, not the nation they attacked. Claims of a humanitarian catastrophe are largely part of an effort to allow the Islamist group to retain control, something that will ensure that the Jewish state will suffer more barbaric atrocities.
