5. Whatever helps you sleep at night...

As usual, pro-Israel bloggers and their helpers use whatever triviality they can find to deny the inhumanity and suffering.

There is confusion about the name of the child in various reports, with two different children being conflated, Mohammed al -Mutawaq, and Muhammed al-Matouq. Only one has cerebral palsy. But hey, let's glom onto that screw-up, it works to discredit!

This David Collier...hmmm...who claims to have SEEN the medical report but won't publish it because you know, privacy. This after having already disclosed the child's medical history. Lol. There's other hasbara and unconfirmed claims too, but why bother?

So what does this amount to, anyway? The practice of eugenics? Oh well, it's cerebral palsy! The child was gonna die anyway! Of course totally ignoring the fact why the child is so horribly wasted- the lack of nutrition AND the banning of the medicine he needs! There are thousands of chronically ill, cancer and heart patients, diabetics etc who have died or will die due to lack of medicine Israel won't allow in! And the destruction of hospitals and the medical system of course.

You should read up on the cortisone response in women under stress and malnutrition and what it causes.

This Mohammed has a sister, not a brother. If you read the o/p link, you would know.

There are plenty of pics and videos of other starving children, both dead and barely alive. Videos taken in hospital wards. Some require a Graphic Content warning, they are so bad. Testimonies of doctors, the UN, MSF, etc etc etc Palestinians themselves. Hospitals are filled beyond capacity with the malnourished and dying. Look up videos of those scenes.

Are they all lying?
