Bild Expose: Sad Pictures of Starving Palestinians are Totally Fake
TIME magazine published a photo of Palestinian children holding empty pots, allegedly waiting in line for food aid. But Germany’s BILD newspaper revealed there was no food distribution taking place at the scene, only a photographer orchestrating a global publicity stunt rooted in a modern-day blood libel.
TwitterIn a disgusting revelation that should infuriate anyone who values truth over terrorist lies, Germany's largest newspaper BILD has unmasked a shameless propaganda machine in Gaza. Photographers, puppeted by Palestinian terrorists, almost certainly Hamas, are fabricating scenes of "suffering" and peddling them to gullible Western outlets like CNN and BBC, all to demonize Israel and rake in thousands of dollars. This pretends to be journalism, but it's a vile theater of deception designed to manipulate global opinion and prolong hatred.
The explosive BILD investigation, published August 4, 2025, titled "Gestellte Gaza-Bilder: Dieser Fotograf inszeniert Hamas-Propaganda" (Staged Gaza Pictures: This Photographer Stages Hamas Propaganda), zeroes in on Anas Bayed Fteiha (also known as Anas Zayed Fteiha), an avowed Israel-hater who orchestrates multiple filming crews to create scripted "horror" shows. These frauds aren't spontaneous snapshots of reality, they're meticulously directed by terrorists to fit a narrative that paints Israel as the monster.
Shocking examples include:
Hunger pot scams: Empty pots arranged in "perfect lighting" to fake starvation, with actors posing as desperate civilians in a grotesque bid to evoke sympathy.
Staged tears and distress: Crying mothers and other non-spontaneous setups, all dictated by Hamas handlers to ensure every frame screams Israeli atrocity.
BILD reports these manipulated images fetch tens of thousands of dollars from Western media giants, including AP and Reuters in similar schemes. It's infuriating, while real humanitarian crises exist in Gaza, these blood-money profiteers exploit suffering to fuel anti-Israel bias, twisting facts into fiction for profit.
This fits the long-standing pattern of "Pallywood" or "Gazawood" misinformation, where staged footage, like altered hospital blasts or phony casualty scenes, has been debunked repeatedly. The X post from @siete_octubre, highlighting BILD's findings, has gone viral, with reposts blasting it as "Gazawood" propaganda. Even UN experts and fact-checkers have called out exaggerated starvation claims as staged, though genuine issues persist amid the conflict.
Pro-Israel voices are rightly furious, citing this as blatant media complicity in terrorist narratives. How dare these outlets buy into such manipulative trash without verification? It's a betrayal of journalistic integrity, endangering lives and perpetuating lies in a war already drowning in deceit.
