-
14,000 babies in Gaza would die in the next 48 hours unless aid reached them
In May 2025, Tom Fletcher, the United Nations under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, went on BBC Radio and told the audience that 14,000 babies in Gaza were going to die “in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them.”
-
There are around 20,000 babies in Gaza
According to UNICEF, there are around 20,000 babies in the entirety of Gaza.
-
The New York Times relayed Fletcher’s allegation to its audience without any skepticism
The New York Times, along with numerous other establishment media outlets, relayed Fletcher’s allegation to its credulous audience without any skepticism.
-
A couple of months after Fletcher’s pronouncement, for instance, The New York Times ran a front‑page story about starvation in Gaza featuring a haunting photograph of an emaciated Palestinian toddler named Mohammed Zakaria al Mutawaq.
-
Unmentioned was that the boy suffered from cerebral palsy and other serious preexisting medical conditions, and his appearance had nothing to do with hunger.
-
In any event, what the UN report actually found, and even this contention was questionable, was that 14,000 cases of malnutrition might occur among the 1 million children of Gaza, not babies, if aid did not reach them over the next year.
-
The US‑Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Foundation delivered around 187 million meal equivalents, plus produce, and over 1 million packs of supplementary food for children to Palestinians before the cease‑fire.
-
Another report found that, despite Hamas’ tactic of pilfering international aid to control the population, Israel had provided Gaza with triple the food it needed during the cease‑fire.
Data showed malnutrition was lower than prewar levels.
-
a UNICEF‑led “Nutrition SMART Survey Result” found that not only was there no widespread acute malnutrition in Gaza, but at 0.5%, the Strip had one of the lowest rates in the region.
-
The New York Times has not mentioned the Nutrition SMART Survey Result
As of this writing, The New York Times has not bothered to mention it.
-
No credible person argues that Palestinians in Gaza do not suffer because of Hamas’ endless nihilistic wars against Israel.
-
But the charge of genocide, along with “famine,” “ethnic cleansing,” and “apartheid,” has been manufactured by a conglomeration of anti‑Israel organizations that have been priming the public for decades.
-
It’s Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, or some UN body, along with bogus “expert” organizations such as the Association of Genocide Scholars — habitually described by major media outlets as home to “world’s top scholars,” even though any random nonacademic can pay a simple entry fee and become a member.

-
There was no genocide.
-
The most significant thing to remember about the genocide charge is that international organizations had to change the way they apply the legal definition that has been in place since the 1948 Genocide Convention to smear Israel.
-
And if Israel harbors genocidal intentions, why would it deliver more humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip than any army has probably ever delivered to an enemy population during wartime in history?
-
Israel warned civilians with flyers, roof knocking, phone calls and other mitigation techniques
If Israel has genocidal intentions, why does it warn civilians with flyers, roof knocking, phone calls and other mitigation techniques?
-
Israel moves populations of entire cities out of the way when confronting Hamas
Why does Israel move the populations of entire cities out of the way when trying to confront Hamas?
-
Israel could annihilate all of Gaza within minutes if it felt like it
Israel could, of course, annihilate all of Gaza within minutes if it felt like it.
-
Israel has one of the lowest combat‑to‑civilian death ratios in the history of modern warfare
If Israel has genocidal intentions, why does the Gaza war have one of the lowest combat‑to‑civilian death ratios in the history of modern warfare?
-
Hamas urges its own people to become cannon fodder as a means of appealing to friendly Western journalists and intellectuals.
Hamas leaders build tunnels under hospitals, schools and mosques.
They fire rockets from civilian areas.
-
If Israel had genocidal intentions, there would be a lot more than 70,000 total casualties during the war.
-
That total, it needs to be stressed, includes deaths from illness, old age, executions, murders, natural causes and preexisting conditions.
Most importantly, it includes Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters — though that fact is barely ever mentioned by the mass media.

The Hamas charter explicitly calls for the genocide of Jews
Hamas, whose charter explicitly calls for the genocide of Jews, could have surrendered...
-
Arab Israelis have higher living standards, longer life expectancies and greater political freedom than Arabs in most neighboring countries.
-
If Israel’s goal was ethnic cleansing, the nation is the most spectacularly incompetent operation in human history.
-
These blood libels, which have been spread by anti‑Israel progressives for decades before the latest war, are meant to distract from the evil that was perpetrated on Oct. 7, 2023, and strip the memory of the Holocaust from the Jewish people and weaponize it against them.
-
The survival rate of Jews under Nazi control in Europe was roughly 30% — and only because Nazis did not have time to finish the job.
The survival rate for Arab civilians during the Gaza war was somewhere around 99%.
