My cmnt: Hamas first stole billions in aide to build tunnels to attack Israel with and to hide their troops in rather than using it to help/feed the Palestinian people and build much needed infrastructure in Gaza; then they built their military structures under schools and hospitals and hid their soldiers behind human shields; then they kidnapped women and children to use as bargaining chips when Israel inevitably kicked their muslim asses; to now stealing aide from Israel and America and purposefully starving their own people to win PR points by blaming Israel. Democrats, muslims, communists, dictators and thugs will do ANYthing for power and control.

My cmnt: As it turns out (08/21/25) these are staged photos of genetically ill children with a condition that looks like malnutrition but is not.

Harrowing photos have emerged of severely emaciated children wasting away in Gaza as starvation grips the Palestinian enclave — just as the US accused Hamas of making a mockery of cease-fire talks to end the war with Israel.

The disturbing images showed scores of sickly thin Palestinian youngsters with their bones poking out.

In one particularly horrifying viral photo, a small child can be seen being cradled by his mom as his spine and all of his ribs visibly protrude from his body.

Other images show children hollowed out by hunger screaming out as they desperately beg for food.

Israel has blamed Hamas for the current starvation plight gripping the region, arguing the terror group has disrupted food distribution as the war rages on.

Still, the photos emerged as the Gaza Health Ministry said Thursday that at least 48 people had died of malnutrition-related causes in the past three weeks alone — including 20 children.

Hospitals too are being overwhelmed with scrawny children who doctors say are too weak to cry or move.

“Humans are well developed to live with caloric deficits, but only so far,” said Dr. John Kahler, Medglobal’s co-founder and a pediatrician who volunteered twice in Gaza during the war.

“It appears that we have crossed the line where a segment of the population has reached their limits,” he added.

“This is the beginning of a population death spiral.”

The grim pictures came as the US revealed it was cutting short cease-fire talks and bringing its negotiating team home after Hamas allegedly showed a lackluster effort to reach a deal with Israel, President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said Thursday.

“While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith,” Witkoff said.

“We will now consider alternative options to bring the hostages home and try to create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza.”

Hamas, for its part, claimed it was surprised by Witkoff’s “negative remarks” — saying it has shown responsibility and flexibility in negotiations.

The terror group added it was “keen to reach an agreement that ends the aggression and the suffering of our people in Gaza.”

Hamas official Bassem Naim said Friday that talks between Hamas and Israel were expected to resume next week.

Israel, though, didn’t immediately respond to whether negotiations would continue.

The negotiations have been bogged down over competing demands for ending the war.

Hamas has said it will only release all remaining hostages — 50 in total — in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal and end to the war. 

The stop-start talks come as more than two dozen Western-aligned countries and over 100 charity and human rights groups have called for an end to the war in recent days — as experts warned that Palestinians were on the brink of famine.

My cmnt: Turns out Palestine has plenty of food and water. All the thousands of captured or killed Palestinian terrorists were well fed. The only people starving in Palestine are the poor, Israeli hostages!

My cmnt: What aren’t “experts” wrong on?~! Just about everything! Their batting average is no better than psychics. From Dr. Fraud Fauci to so-called nutrition experts (who pronounce new and conflicting dictates every other day); the 1970s Food Pyramid (now turned completely upside down), Darwinists, foreign policy experts, economists, Woke advertising gurus, football coaches. The list goes on and on. If an “expert” actually gets something right it’s a cause for headline news. If consultants and financial advisors really knew what they were doing they’d all be billionaires. They’re not even millionaires, let alone the people who give them their hard earned money.
