After two years of barraging social media with lies about a famine in Gaza, Hamas propaganda channels are now trying to cover up their obesity by claiming that Israel is making them fat.
One recent Hamas media story clamored that “they’re forcing us to gain weight”, and objected that supermarkets have “shelves overflowing with chocolate, soft drinks, and cigarettes”, along with unhealthy “flour and various types of cheese used in sweets and pizza, in addition to sugar and flour derivatives used in confectionery production.”
An Arab Muslim settler in Gaza who had previously justified the Hamas massacres complained, “I am compelled to consume carbohydrates, processed cheese, and manufactured meat.”
What some are calling the ‘Fatocide’ reflects the reality that there was never a famine in Gaza, but there was a very real obesity problem. Past reports had found high rates of obesity among children and adults in Gaza and a 2019 study found that almost half of adults over the age of 42 had Type 2 Diabetes. 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% deaths.
The ‘Fatocide’ is real and is claiming ‘Palestinian’ lives every day.
A study from a decade ago found that 1 out of every 5 adolescents in Gaza was overweight or obese. Now a new UNICEF study usefully compares obesity rates in Israel and in the so-called ‘Palestinian’ entity areas. If Israel were really starving, oppressing or denying materials to the terrorist occupied territories, then the Israelis should be fatter than the ‘Palestinians’.
And yet the UNICEF report found that in Israel, 23% of 5-9 year olds were fat, but 28% of children in the same age group in ‘Palestine’ were obese. 28% of children aged 10-14 in Israel were fat, but in ‘Palestine’, 33% of children were obese.
Among 15-19 year olds, 19% of Israeli teens were fat, but 32% of ‘Palestinian’ teens were. Notably, while the Israeli teens appeared to be getting in shape before going into the Israeli Army, their counterparts in the terrorist-occupied territories stayed fat. But then again while you need to be in good shape to be in the infantry, not so much to be a suicide bomber.
While Hamas propagandists accused Israel of a ‘Fatocide’ by making them gain weight with pizza and soda, high obesity rates are actually common among Arab Muslims across the region. Indeed, the UNICEF report revealed that “obesity among school-aged children and adolescents in the Middle East and North Africa doubled since 2000, and is surpassing underweight rates”.
The Global Obesity Observatory (a project of the EU) ranks Israel as 101st in world obesity, but it’s sandwiched between Egypt (15th), Jordan (24th), and Syria (36th). This is significant because there is actually no such thing as a ‘Palestinian’ or for that matter a Jordanian, Syrian or Egyptian. These were artificial barriers for the same Arab Muslim colonial population and the Arab Muslims who claim to be ‘Palestinians’ resemble the rest of their neighboring families.
Lebanon, in 60th place, reflects elements of its healthier Christian and secular population.
‘Palestine’ ranks 27th, demonstrating the closeness of its population to Jordan, 24th, since both are populated by the same group of Arab Muslim settlers before being split up by the British.
If ‘Palestine’ were a country, it would be the 27th fattest nation in the world.
And if the childhood obesity rates seem bad, the 38.5% adult obesity rate is even worse.
We were told that the Arab Muslim settlers in Gaza were saving food for their children, but the obesity rates show that the adults in the terrorist territories are fatter than the children.
The nearly 40% obesity rate not only puts ‘Palestine’ far ahead of Israel at 23%, but far ahead of much of the world which receives far less ‘humanitarian’ aid than the UN lavishes on the ‘Palestinians’. While many African nations have obesity rates in the single digits and suffer from actual hunger, fortunes were spent and lives were lost shipping food to Gaza that it didn’t need.
Why is there a ‘Fatocide’? One reason is that there is an entire UN agency, UNRWA, dedicated to catering to cities full of Arab Muslims in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and parts of Israel, which, despite having existed for 70 years in some cases, are falsely described as “refugee camps”.
In one of the greatest welfare scams in the world, Arab Muslims living in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are branded third generation and fourth generation “refugees” rather than immigrants.
And UNRWA is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the ‘Palestinian’ welfare state.
The Biden administration had dispatched $1.2 billion in only a few years. The EU estimated its own outlay at around $1.8 billion. Japan promised $100 million. The UN is asking for $4 billion for its ‘flash appeal’ for Gaza. Even a fraction of that could have saved actual lives in places with actual famines like Sudan, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Instead, the UN funded another ‘fatocide’. And it’s not the first time.
Before faking a famine to bail out Islamic terrorists in Gaza, international agencies and propaganda outlets had faked a famine in Yemen to bail out the Houthi Jihadists. Even as the Houthis went to war against the United States in 2024, the Biden administration went on supplying hundreds of millions of dollars in aid: much of which was taken by the terrorists.
Despite the pictures of starving bony children (actually children with medical conditions) and claims that 85,000 children had starved to death, Yemen’s population increased 30%.
Since the famine began, Yemen’s population shot up from 30 million to 39 million.
While Yemen’s child obesity rates don’t top Israel’s, except in the 5-9 range, at 27%, 21% and 15% respectively, they’re well in excess of anything to be found in a country with an actual famine. Yemen’s kids are significantly fatter than those of nearly every African country which have real food shortage problems, not NGO fatocides faked for the cameras. When the biggest problem for 1 in 4 children in the country is obesity, that’s not a famine, it’s a ‘fatocide’.
Over 60% of ‘Palestinian’ women are obese or overweight. 20% have diabetes. After blaming Israel for a famine that didn’t exist, they’re now blaming Israel for making them eat chocolate and pizza, drink soda and gorge themselves on all the free food being sent by their victims.
From the pizza place to the ice cream shop, Fatostine will be free. Just not calorie free.
That was my solution, which I advocated for years. Feed them nothing but junk food, sugared soft drinks, pastries, cigarettes, until they are too fat to fight.
If you are of Jewish origin the UN will be using this as clear evidence that Israel is causing the obesity. 😆
Must be all the sweets they pass out celebrating the murder of jews. Hope they all die of strokes, congestive heart failure and diabetes.
Just so long as they die, don’t care the reason
Allahu snack bar!
When partisans of “Palestine” accuse Israel of genocide and planned famines (despite Gaza having widespread obesity and also an annual population growth rate of 2.5%, one of the highest in the world), it’s OBVIOUS, and UNSUBTLE Holocaust inversion. They project what their grandparents did to Jews in Europe in the 1940s (and what they’d like to do to Jews today) on to Israel. I can envision flatulent, malodorous land whale Michael Moore doing a “documentary” on “fatocide” in Gaza, just on the heels of The New York Times printing a fake starvation victim in Gaza on the front page. Note too that The New York Times’ correspondent in the Soviet Union (Pulitzer Prize winner Walter Duranty) covered up a REAL famine and describe the Soviet Ukraine as a “cornucopia”.
Meh. Death “Shawarma’d” over’
It’s not genocide or fatocide, truth is these people will not be satisfied, EVER.
Hamas has a great propaganda machine. Unfortunately Sudan, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo don’t.
What organization would flood the world with this type of misinformation?
The mother/child starvation photos out of wartime Gaza are framed as classic medieval pietas. The image of the mother right down to the clothing is virtually identical to the image of Mary in Michelangelo’s Pieta for instance. Surely, this was calculated to ignite some neurons especially in Christian viewers and especially in Europe where the great cathedrals commonly house a pieta.
The whole thing speaks to a targeted propaganda campaign, and a good one. And yes, anyone ever ask why the mom seems perfectly well fed while her baby’s bones stick through it’s skin?
Nothing more and nothing less. Sad that “Christianity: has become so limp wristed they do not see they are being mocked.
So easily fooled since they have no idea what Christianity actually is.
Make sure to give them plenty of milkshakes, should be popular in the desert, and the quickest way to gain weight.
Those wily Israelis.
Even though they must be the most incompetent harbingers of ethnic cleansing the world has ever known now they are starving the pals into obesity.
When will this horror end?
There are more Arabs in Israel today (even within pre-1967 boundaries) than there were in all of Mandatory Palestine in 1948. In contrast, there were one million Jews in Arab countries in 1948 and fewer than 5,000 today, mostly in “tolerant” Morocco, which has less than one percent of the Jewish population it had in 1948. Hundreds of thousands of other Jews were driven out of Turkey, Iran, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries. Who ethnically cleansed whom? If G-d forbid Hamas and Fatah or Iran and Hezbollah ever did succeed in destroying Israel, if there were one Israeli Jew (now 50% of Jews globally) left alive, the taqqiya apparatus would seize on the sole survivor as “proof” of Islamic “tolerance”.
see “The Farhud: Roots of the Arab-Nazi Alliance” 2010 by Edwin Black
“The Mufti of Jerusalem forged a far-ranging alliance with Hitler resulting in the June 1941 Farhud, a Nazi-style pogrom in Baghdad that set the stage for the devastation and expulsion of the Iraqi Jews and ultimately almost a million Jews across the Arab world. The Farhud was the beginning of what became a broad Nazi-Arab alliance in the Holocaust.”
Pity the poor Muslims! Compelled to do all that forced feeding after Iftar during the f(e)asting month of Ramadan!
The lazy, stupid, genocidal Islamofascist invaders are never responsible for a damn thing. just ask them.
Israelis are incompetent at genocide since their population is increasing, incompetent as starvation as they continue to get fat. Incompetent at ethnic cleansing since their numbers in all areas increase. Incompetent at apartheid since everyone has equal rights.
Perhaps they should all be introduced to the SAD diet (Standard American Diet.) That way obesity will be the least of their medical problems. Metabolically speaking, because of the SAD diet, Americans are the sickest people on earth. Why should we suffer alone? Spread the misery!
What they’re missing in that part of the world is ultra-processed foods, seed oils, wall to wall fast food joints, pastry shops, Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc. Fat Jihadists aren’t much of a threat. (They’d have to get up off their fat asses and do something!)
That’s an idea, have a free delivery service, so they can get their junk food delivered right to their door..
The Phallusteen people’s pretend starvation was exposed as a lie right after Oct 7 2023 when IDF soldiers captured a large group of Hamas murderers and made them all sit on the ground in their underwear for a photo. The photo looked like the Before picture in a Jenny Craig diet ad.. If any Hamas kids are “starving” it’s because their sugar-starch intoxicated parents are scarfing down the family food supply like hogs at a trough. Their Hamas burka-clad womenfolk look like a pod of whales from a Jacques Cousteau undersea documentary.
“UN Report Shows ‘Palestinians’ Fatter Than Israelis”
So the UN finally comes clean about the Israeli Genocide after 3 years of lies about the Israeli Genocide in Gaza.
Any way we can order everyone who works for this pathetic organization home and then drop a tactical nuke on this joke of an international org? And ship the radio active remains over to Brussels?
Put them on a boat out in the Med and have Trump sink it 🙂
Have the UN or any of the “humanitarian” NGOs, or celebrities, or media talking heads who were so quick to accuse Israel of starving Gazans apologized yet for their slander? Didn’t think so.
