How one UN leader’s mistaken timeline caused confusion about Gaza children’s starvation risk

1. Oopsie, I accused Jews of starving 14k babies in 2 days out of thin air.

   It’s ok UN, we know you don’t give a shit about facts when it comes to Israel. Blame first, then write 45 resolutions, then maybe apologize on page 7 when your facts turn out to be BS.

   Go back to publishing fake stories about Israel bombing hospitals.

2. It is an unfortunate mistake. While the severity of the humanitarian catastrophe can not be overstated, it is important to remain factual, as to not provide ammunition for the genocide deniers.

3. Question is

   Why isn’t Israel or the US pressuring egypt, lebannon or any of the other countries neighboring gaza into accepting palestinian refugees?

4. While we’re on this, let’s not forget that the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry massively inflated and manipulated death toll figures, which were later blindly repeated by the UN and major media outlets.

5. Why hasn’t the retraction been as widely publicised as the initial statement?

   Like the UN fucked up here and it’s not at all publicised in the West.

6. It’s really funny.

   We have Israeli ministers calling for starvation and the killing of children

   We have young Israelis mocking Palestinian mothers for dead children

   Most reputed polling stations concluding that more than half of Israel genuinely believe in the killing of Gaza children and ethnic cleansing

   hasbara bots, euro shills. American idiots: lmao guys it’s not happening. Everything fine. They are the genocidal ones lmao

7. Even if it was for a single child’s life, this shouldn’t change how we react to it. Israel shouldn’t be allowed to use starvation as a “war” tactic, and I put quote marks because we all know what this actually is.

8. And here are the pathetic anti-Western, pro-Russian and pro-Chinese whataboutlists.

   Fuck you all for milking out the suffering of local civilians.

   Fuck you.

   I know, I know. I know what you are gonna say.

   So shut the fuck up, you fucks.

   Edit: Ah, I have triggered the bots and trolls. How fucking neat.

9. Its been about a year and a half and if the claims about the brutality being delivered in such a small area to so many people are to be believed then we’d be seeing an unbelievable death toll by now, it would have hit the million mark within the first few months. 55k is bizarrely low

   I assume that the Hamas health ministry is severely undercounting the deaths, by a magnitude of 10 at least.

   Or we have seen unfold a propaganda campaign of epic proportions.

   Maybe its both, i know that there are many open eyed, apolitical, serious minded and sensible commenters steeped in nothing but the facts here in anime_titties who have a grasp on what is actually going on.

10. >A May 12 IPC report said nearly 71,000 children under the age of 5 in Gaza are expected to experience acute malnourishment from April 2025 to March 2026.

    >“Of these, 14,100 cases are expected to be severe,” the report said.

    >“In hunger crises, children are always amongst the most vulnerable,” said Scott Paul, American director of peace and security for Oxfam, one of the humanitarian aid groups providing aid in Gaza. And for cases of severe acute malnutrition, “You can’t just bake a loaf of bread.”

    >Treatment of severe malnutrition in children requires special pediatric therapeutic feeding administered by a medical provider. “Even if they survive, their development is permanently stunted, so they suffer long term effects,” Paul said.

    Somehow the genocidal Zionists are here arguing like this article is some kind of gotcha while they’re still supporting the starvation of tens of thousands of children.

11. It wasn’t a “mistaken timeline that caused confusion”.

    It was an intentionally false statement that was pushed straight into every headline in nearly every god damned newspaper in Europe and north-america.

    The retraction never made it anywhere.

    In other words, it was propaganda.

12. I’ve heard this lie over and over when “justifying” the murder of two Jews in washington, DC last week. Misinformation has consequences. Those consequences are paid in the blood of the innocent.

    More unfortunately, whatever shred of credibility the UN had re: Gaza numbers has now been thrown out the window.

    I know this phrase is over-used in the context of anti-semitism, but this is a modern day blood libel.
