    Not that i don't believe you but you got a link to the article? Initially gave this i like as i can imagine journalists going for a bit of war porn but the two photos show different people and different pots and pans lol.

    No it's the remains of the 14th century bathhouse that the IDF bombed.

    BILD jumped to the wrong conclusion and I'm afraid you've been duped.

    This is a genuine picture outside of a Food distribution centre.

    Here is another angle from photos that day

    please log in to view this image


    With clear information regarding location, time and individuals, additional reference images and videos of the field kitchen can be pinpointed using a Google reverse image search. They are characterized by a number of recurring details: The red-and-white barrier, the pattern of the buildings in the background, the metal rack for the pots, the gate with its blue tarps and the NGO employees present at the scene.

    Taken together, these indications suggest that there can be no question of the photo in question being staged. The food distribution site has been in operation at least since the middle of July 2025.

    Don't think I haven't noticed you swerving my comment about the BILD photo story of the Food distribution centre which you thought was staged <laugh>

    Abbas must be coming to the end of his four-year term by now surely.

    It was staged, as proven by the SZ/BILD investigation.

    Looking closely at the image you've posted, I asked myself "what does this image show?"

    Well, to be perfectly honest, I see a large group of mainly normal BMI young men, indeed some seem to be overweight to obese.

    I see this group of mainly young men holding up empty bowls and other containers.

    In the centre of the image, placed behind the fencing, I see at least SIX similarly young men with journalist-style cameras around their neck. In fact, these camera people greatly outnumber the aid workers among them.

    It is impossible to look at your image and come to the conclusion that this 'proves' widespread famine in Gaza.

    All I see is a crowd of pretty well-fed people who haven't YET received their allocation of food for the day, clearly being directed by multiple journalists to stage a dramatic photo.

    Which is precisely the same conclusion as the BILD report.

    Thanks for providing us with more evidence to dispell the great lie of Gaza starvation.

    We'll add it to the "14,000 babies will die in 48 hours" and the "hospitals are on the brink of collapse" warning we hear every month pile of bollocks gullible westerners have swallowed hook, line and sinker.

    The biggest irony is that you accuse the likes of me and Ponks of being 'selective' about what we believe in terms of images and stories 'from Gaza' ...

    The obvious answer is let the World's press in ... Israel should be keen do so if what you are attesting is indeed 'the truth' ... unfortunately I suspect you are deluded ... and blinkered...

    I wouldn’t lump Pinkie in with your fetish for obviously made-up nonsense. You shouldn’t have to share that title.

    I don't give a flying about what you lump ... you're lack of empathy or indeed humanity for anybody other than 'poor us', means I rarely give much credence to your 'we're the only victims' bleatings ...

    It's the people with similar mindsets to yours that have the deaths of over 50,000 Gazan women and children on their conscience... or rather, lack of it ..

    50000 fewer dancing on the streets the next time there’s a 9/11 or 10/7.

    When there’s multiple terror groups dedicated to wiping out drab old men across Hertfordshire you may feel differently.
