There is no Gaza famine, so why is the pro-Hamas media silent about this great news?

Gaza’s supposed famine never happened. It was never more than Hamas propaganda eagerly consumed by the left, the media and the clueless Biden administration.

The chief UN food-insecurity agency announced this month that it finds the analysis suggesting a famine was on the way wasn’t “plausible” and lacked “supporting evidence.”

It turns out that the numbers from the Famine Early Warning System (a USAID project) were utter garbage: That analysis excluded all private-sector food deliveries, and a big chunk of aid from the World Food Programme. 

So it “found” that less than half of Gazan’s daily caloric needs being met, while the actual numbers indicate that as much as 157% of caloric needs were being met.

This doesn’t mean that hunger is no issue at all, or that people don’t have trouble getting enough to eat: It’s a war zone, after all, and Hamas routinely grabs relief exclusively for its own private stocks.

But blaming Israel’s war on Hamas for causing famine is just another of the many specious charges leveled against Israel by the United Nations and International Criminal Court prosecutors — and echoed in The New York Times and other pro-Hamas outlets.
