Hamas' propaganda playbook: Omitting the truth to push starvation narrative
Eighteen-month-old Mohammed Zakariya al-Matouq of Gaza reportedly suffers from cerebral palsy and genetic disorders — but that didn't stop the American media or Gaza’s leadership from using a photo of the boy as proof of widespread starvation and for anti-Israel propaganda.
His image has been used on the front pages of newspapers around the world and in broadcasts like the BBC, CNN, and Sky.
In the Guardian’s story on the photo, it was captioned that Muhammad was “facing life-threatening malnutrition.” The U.K.’s Daily Express called it “a horrifying image encapsulating the ‘maelstrom of human misery’ gripping Gaza.”
Mohammed’s photo was also distributed by Anadolu Agency, the Turkish state news service, as the amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza has been challenged and questioned. Critics are arguing that Hamas omitted the child’s medical history, as confirmed by his mother and Dr. Suzan Mohammed Marouf in order to amplify a starvation narrative.
In the photo, Mohammed is held by his mother, who BlazeTV host Pat Gray can’t help but notice “seems pretty OK.”
“I’m not saying she's gigantic, I’m just saying she’s not starving. So if you’re eating all his food, you might want to share there, mom, because you look pretty healthy,” Gray says.
“So it turns out, he’s got several other problems genetically that he was born with ... and they are the problems that cause him to look like that, right? Not the fact that Israel is keeping food from these Palestinians,” he adds.
“I don’t remember a time in the past,” he says, “and they’ve been through this kind of stuff many, many times with the Palestinians. I don’t remember them ever cutting off a food supply.”

They’re lying to you about the ‘big, beautiful bill’ — how it’s actually FIXING health care
The media has wasted no time labeling the recent Medicaid reform in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act cruel, as 4.8 million Americans will lose health care coverage.
BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey and her father, Ron Simmons, are well aware that the left is upset over the reforms, but they also know why they’re wrong.
“What are we hearing on health care? ‘Oh, we’re going to kick grandma off Medicare and Medicaid,’” Simmons tells his daughter. “Again, not true. Totally not true.”
“Medicaid and Medicare are different. Medicare is for people generally that are age 65 or 66, older, depending on ... when you were born and all those types of things,” he explains, noting that Medicaid is “set up primarily for people that are disabled or their income levels are such that they actually receive it free.”
“And what the ‘big, beautiful bill’ is doing,” he continues, “they are requiring them to work, be looking actively for work, or be in some type of educational or training program. I mean, doesn’t that just seem simple to get what I would call ‘freeloaders’ off of the free health care?”
“Why should you and I be paying for their health care when they’re able to work but not willing to work?” he adds.
However, there is a “little bit of truth” to what the Democrats have been claiming.
“There will be people that absolutely lose their health care under Medicaid. But it’ll only be those people that are able-bodied and should be working, or at least should be looking for work, or getting trained so that they can go to work,” Simmons explains.
“That’ll make our health care system actually financially more responsible,” he adds.
