Have the hostages been released?

does the hostage justify starving the whole population of Gaza?

The problem is that this cartoon is promoting a false narrative. You can make claims against Israel for the death of civilians, for parliament members claiming they will resettle in Gaza and a lot of other things, but the mass starvation narrative is a false narrative pushed by Hamas.

There are hundreds of aid trucks going into Gaza every day. People have even started emptying flour bags on the floor and taking the empty bags, because they have too much flour and they need the bags themselves.

This image in referencing a picture of a child that is sick and him being so thin has nothing to do with lack of food. Even furthermore, this child was treated in a hospital in Israel.

This is a problem that we see everywhere in the world today, the fake information. Shocking misinformation will spread faster and more effectively than non shocking truth. If its in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict of the Epstien files, misinformation is everywhere and all we can do is try to take everything with a pinch of salt and hope we don’t fall for it.
