"Why can Jonathan Greenblatt lie with impunity? Because the mainstream media doesn’t hold pro-Israel officials responsible for statements that are blatantly untrue.

The American media is directly implicated in the horror that is happening both in Gaza and in the United States under the Trump administration, because they allow people like Jonathan Greenblatt to lie and get away with it."

"Five journalists were among at least 20 people killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser hospital in southern Gaza, health officials said. ...

At least 193 Palestinian journalists have been killed since 7 October 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), more than the number who died globally in the previous three years."

“It is a famine on all of our watch. Everyone owns this. The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. It is a famine that asks ‘but what did you do?’ A famine that will and must haunt us all.”

~ UN aid chief Tom Fletcher.

"The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a globally recognised organisation that classifies the severity of food insecurity and malnutrition, found that three key thresholds for famine had been met, signalling a major escalation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Only four famines have been declared by the IPC since it was established in 2004, most recently in Sudan last year."

"An 'entirely man-made' famine is taking place in Gaza’s largest city and its surrounding area amid deteriorating conditions that threaten an exponential increase in deaths across the devastated territory, UN-backed experts have declared."
