In 2015, a decade after Israel had withdrawn from Gaza leaving it, as terrorist apologists in the media insisted, an “open-air concentration camp”, weight loss centers began to pop up.

Gaza’s Arab Muslim population was overeating badly.

A 2013 study found 1 out of every 5 adolescents in Gaza was overweight or obese which was comparable to rates in the United States. By 2020 in the combined ‘Palestinian’ occupied areas of Gaza, Judea and Samaria, overweight rates shot up from 20% to 34% among boys and from 24% to 32% among girls. If the Arab Muslim populations were living under oppression and terror, how had their adolescent obesity rates gone from 1 in 4 to as much as 1 in 3?

And it’s not just the adolescents.

A global nutrition report found that nearly 30% of men and 42% of women in the combined areas are obese. In Gaza specifically, 64% of mothers were overweight or obese. How could this wave of obesity be reconciled with the simultaneous claim that 60% of households in Gaza are “food insecure’” The mothers of quite a few of those “food insecure households” are obese.

The shortage of research studies being carried out under Hamas rule makes it difficult to estimate how fat Gaza’s occupiers were, but a revealing data point is that a study conducted in 2019 estimated that among adults over the age of 42, 45% had Type 2 Diabetes and 16.8% had undiagnosed Type 2.

Another Gaza report citing Hamas Ministry of Health numbers claimed that 9.6% of the population in Gaza has diabetes and it’s the cause of 11.2% of one out of nine deaths. If Gazans were living in hunger, why do their diabetes rates look like those of America or Europe?

The suffering of diabetes patients in Gaza during their Jihadist campaign against non-Muslims has been one of the narratives put out by the pro-Hamas humanitarians, none of whom have thought to ask why the condition is so prevalent in a place that supposedly has no food.

What was the cause of these high rates? According to the study, “Palestinians consume large amounts of homemade desserts, cakes, sweetened tea, and coffee” and have a massive sugar intake. They eat too much and too well despite supposedly being “refugees” while starving to death in an “open air concentration camp” complete with lavish malls, restaurants and hotels.

Since Hamas launched the Oct 7 genocide campaign, its occupying population in Gaza has been painted as victims and bombarded with massive amounts of food supplies. Over the course of the war, the terrorist population was sent 92,000 truckloads of aid. The amount of aid coming into Gaza actually doubled after its residents began a genocidal campaign of murder, rape and kidnapping of regional minority groups. Compare that to 1,500 truckloads of aid for Sudan and even less for many struggling African populations dealing with actual famine.

Massive amounts of food were dumped on Gaza. The Biden administration, falsely claiming that there was an urgent famine and the population, according to Vice President Kamala Harris, had been reduced to eating “leaves”, air dropped supplies which the local population rejected and criticized on social media. It built a failed $250 million pier to deliver aid that cost the life of an American soldier and injured many others all to deliver food to the non-starving Gazans.

What’s been the result of this massive outpouring of free food? Hamas leaders, terrorists, spokesmen and media operatives have grown unmistakably fat as food has become a form of currency. Not only is there no famine, but Gazans are gorging themselves and even Hamas’ own dubious numbers show Americans are three times as likely to die of malnutrition as they are.

1.8 million tons of aid, including 1.3 million tons of food, have been delivered to Gaza since the launch of their genocidal Hamas campaign. That’s over 1 ton of aid for every adult in Gaza.

Is this good for the enemy population in Gaza? Probably not. When deaths due to diabetes and out of control glycaemic rates are soaring, the last thing it needs is more free food. The UN’s WFP deliveries included snack bars and the current GHF program overseen by the U.S. and Israel is likely also delivering foods not ideal for a population already eating itself to death.

The false claims that Israel is killing the invasive population in Gaza with hunger is false, but the massive truckloads of aid being brought in to save the Hamas supporters from a famine that doesn’t exist may be even more lethal. Gaza, like the rest of the ‘Palestinian-occupied’ territories is a massive welfare state subsidized by the U.S., the UN and the Europeans. And people in welfare states tend to do very little work, eat all the free food they can get, grow fat and violent, and then go off looking for something to destroy. Gaza may be the worst welfare state in the world, but it is a welfare state and its own habits are deadlier to it than Israel.

If Israel is killing Gaza’s enemy population with anything, it’s not hunger, it’s obesity.

But the obesity epidemic in Gaza is fed by the UN, international pressure from world leaders and diplomats, and their own lies about being reduced to eating leaves and dirt.

Gaza’s Arab Muslims are eating themselves to death on their own lies. The torrent of free food will lead to greater obesity, worse diabetes trends and other dietary diseases. And it’s their political allies and international enablers who are killing them with endless free food.

The UN and the EU can promise to save Gaza, but no one can save them from themselves.
