“With Hamas controlling nearly all media in Gaza, these photographers aren’t reporting, they’re producing propaganda,” the statement said.
“This investigation underscores how Pallywood has gone mainstream with staged images and ideological bias shaping international coverage, while the suffering of Israeli hostages and Hamas atrocities are pushed out of frame,” it continued.
“They are intended to overwrite the brutal images of the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023. Many people don’t even remember these pictures,” Paul said. “Hamas is a master at staging images.”
It blows my mind how there still people who try to change the narrative about the genocide. You lost the propaganda war get over it and go back to your echo chambers
That’s so interesting then that Israel isn’t letting in the international press for reasons.
The country who is always siding with genocides
The Algemeiner, a global news destination published online, serves as an independent media voice covering the Middle East, Israel and matters of Jewish interest around the world.
It was founded in 1972 by famed journalist Gershon Jacobson as Der Algemeiner Journal and was originally published in Yiddish. In 2012, Algemeiner.com was launched in English. The Algemeiner’s Publisher is Simon Jacobson, eldest son of our founder Gershon Jacobson.
Sure, that’s a more balanced article, it doesn’t deny that the Israelis are starving people in Gaza:
It’s been widely established that there is severe starvation in Gaza, but the misreporting of a photo of a Palestinian child has caused criticism of the media’s reporting of the crisis.
The article you cited implies it’s all staged and refers back Israeli government sources (which should never be trusted).
There is no recognition that starvation is happening; specifically due to the Israelis.
Much better since it doesn’t try to use one photo out of hundreds to try to downplay a major humanitarian crisis.
However, regardless of Mohammed’s illness and the nature of the photo, it is true that people are starving in Gaza, as repeatedly reported by reputable media outlets and humanitarian aid groups.
The boy’s mother, Hedaya al-Muta, has spoken to the media to confirm her son’s medical history, but also of their lack of access to medicine and food. She added that Mohammed’s weight has severely declined.
He was also starved not only sick. Starving sick kids is worse than starving heslthy kids
Sorry no I was referring to @Skiluros@sh.itjust.works crying about the source
The boy’s mother, Hedaya al-Muta, has spoken to the media
Cool, maybe she should tell them to speak to Hamas ? Why is Hamas using her as propaganda?
A widely cited example is from Mousa Abu Marzouk, a senior member of Hamas’ political bureau. In interviews in October 2023, when questioned about why Hamas had built extensive tunnels for its fighters’ protection but not bomb shelters for civilians, Abu Marzouk replied that the tunnels “are meant to protect us,” i.e., Hamas members, rather than civilians.
"We built the tunnels because we have no other way of protecting ourselves from being killed in airstrikes. We are fighting from inside the tunnels… Seventy-five percent of the population of Gaza are refugees, and it is the UN’s responsibility to protect them."
Oh right, because Hamas doesn’t give a shit about its own civilians :)
Viet Cong also had tunnels below civilians infra. Would you have blamed viet cong or american occupation? Do you think viet cong tunnel didn’t protect viet cong rather than vietnamese civilians?
america invaded vietnam, palestinians, specifically the iranian armed military wing of the palestinian gov which was voted in by the palestinians invaded israel
the fact they’re getting beat up now as israel hunts down hamas and hostages is not something ill cry over
palestinians have been trying to stand up to hamas but are getting tortured, raped and killed
Was those kids also khamas genocide supporter? https://lemmy.world/post/34136371
Isrsel occupied palestine for 58 years and did everything hamas did a million time more. Torture, rape was used by israel since 48
Yeah. They found one Turkish photographer that used a photo of a sick child instead of a starving child. Kicking him of your cooperation lists is fair. Using this as an excuse to ignore the situation in Gaza is not.
One significant quote from the article that OP left out:
According to the German newspapers, part of the problem is that Israel restricts access to the Gaza Strip for independent journalists, allowing Hamas-controlled propaganda to dominate the coverage.
