you and your pal David Collier want us to scrutinize one photo of a malnourished child whose alleged cerebral palsy would be greatly exacerbated by the horrendous situation in Gaza, rather than look at the growing pile of skeletal, dead children behind him. Israel has been starving Gaza's children for YEARS.

This poor baby needed specialist medical supplements since birth. Did he get them? Most probably not what with the cruel blockade.

Despicable.

This wouldn't preclude deception, but it would bring in responsible professional journalists to counter it. Beastly Boy Jul 28 #15

My post was about deceptive reporting, not his condition. Beastly Boy Jul 28 #6

Something is self-evident. choie Jul 28 #9

Indeed. Beastly Boy Jul 28 #11

Will his condition be improved by starving him? jmbar2 Jul 28 #4

No. His condition was genetic. We don't know whether starvation played a role in it. Beastly Boy Jul 28 #10

Please stop it! Your blindness is profound and is hurtful to the innocent babies and children. jrthin Jul 28 #5

Not a single condemnation of the fake reporting. Not a single objection to exploiting a sick child. Beastly Boy Jul 28 #19
