Hamas terrorists seen feasting underground as Gazans starve above

tunnels
"While Hamas leadership falsely accuses Israel of orchestrating a 'starvation campaign,' the videos show operatives boasting about their meals underground," Adraee said." It’s important to clarify the food shown was not part of the humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza. Once again, the disconnect between Hamas and the suffering of Gaza’s civilians is laid bare. This is the same organization that feeds the world fabricated tales of starvation, all while indulging in the destruction it has inflicted upon its own people.”

“To the people of Gaza—this is the reality,” he added. “These terrorists are not heroes. They are self-serving thieves, hoarding resources at your expense, hiding in tunnels out of fear of facing the consequences of their actions.”
In the footage, Hamas operatives are seen proudly displaying their food supplies, which include fruit, rice, and meat. They address a person named Abu Khaled, saying: “You missed out.” One man remarks, “I ate five bowls of rice today”—as civilians above ground queue for hours just to receive a single plate of food.

Shocked to see this from our little latter-day Nelson Mandelas in Hamas!

Don't fall for it. There is a denialist industry working hard out there. It' shockingly disgusting.

Look at the framing - denial and accountability-shifting at its finest:
"This is the same organization that feeds the world fabricated tales of starvation, all while indulging in the destruction it has inflicted upon its own people.”

Look at the timing. Just as pictures and videos of skeletal and dead/barely alive children, providing hard evidence of the starvation, are emerging and as over 100 aid agencies, 4 major press outlets, 27 Western countries etc have issued statements of condemnation against Israel.

And think about why we automatically assume that terrorists are not just vile but also incredibly, self-defeatingly STUPID!

Informs my understanding.

This country has been attacking me since I was 3 years old. Reagan might as well have held two bibles in in his hand when he gave his Welfare Queen speech in Philadelphia Mississippi in 1976.

White ChristoFascist AmeriKKKans are no different than Hamas. Their predecessors cut the baby from the womb of a Black Woman.
https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/may/19


On May 19, 1918, a white mob from Brooks County, Georgia, lynched Mary Turner, a Black woman who was eight months pregnant, at Folsom’s Bridge 16 miles north of Valdosta for speaking publicly against the lynching of her husband the day before. The mob bound her feet, hanged her from a tree with her head facing down, threw gasoline on her, and burned the clothes off her body. Mrs. Turner was still alive when the mob took a large butcher’s knife to her abdomen, cutting the unborn baby from her body. When the baby fell from Mary Turner, a member of the mob crushed the crying baby’s head with his foot. The mob then riddled Mrs. Turner’s body with hundreds of bullets, killing her.

Mary Turner’s husband, Hayes Turner, had been lynched the day before. Hayes Turner was accused of being an accomplice in the killing of a notorious white farmer, Hampton Smith, who was well known for his abuse of Black farm workers. Mr. Smith would bail Black people accused of petty crimes out of jail and then require them to work off the fine at his farm. Sidney Johnson, a Black man working to pay a legal fee for “rolling dice,” confessed to killing Mr. Smith during a quarrel about being overworked. Police officers killed Mr. Johnson in a shootout. When news reached the white community, Mr. Turner and other Black farm workers who had previously been abused by Mr. Smith were targeted and accused of conspiracy.


Hamas cut off the breast of a woman at the rave while they were raping her.

How is that any different? They are the same. Hamas, Hutus, white Amerikkkan ChristoFascists.

They are all the same to me.

Ynetnews is the English-language online news website of Ynet, which is a major Israeli news and content platform and the digital arm of *Yedioth Ahronoth*, Israel’s most widely-read newspaper. Launched in 2005 in Tel Aviv, Ynetnews provides breaking news, in-depth reporting, and commentary focusing on Israel, the Middle East, and Jewish world affairs. It covers topics like politics, terrorism, Palestinian affairs, business, culture, and more. The content is largely original, created by an independent staff, though it’s part of the *Yedioth Ahronoth* media group, which also publishes magazines like *Laisha* and *Pnai Plus*. Ynet, the Hebrew-language parent site, started in 2000 and is Israel’s most popular internet portal. Ynetnews is known for its secular, center-left perspective by Israeli standards, often critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though some X posts claim it leans either far-left or right-wing, reflecting polarized views on its bias.[](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ynet)[](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ynetnews/)[](https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0%2C7340%2CL-3028645%2C00.html)
