“There is now an abnormal increase in people’s weight.”
First there was ‘famine’ and lies about genocide. Now there’s ‘Fatocide’.
Middle East Eye, a site with Hamas links whose content tends to read like Hamas propaganda, has decided to reveal the latest tale of suffering from the terrorist territories. Rend your clothes and get ready to weep a small stream.
‘They’re forcing us to gain weight’: Select foods allowed in Gaza as essentials remain missing
The horror! The humanity!
According to the propaganda site, Gazans are suffering because the supermarkets have “shelves overflowing with chocolate, soft drinks, and cigarettes” and lots of products that are fattening.
And according to Abdallah Sharshara, a man identified as a “lawyer and legal researcher”, “most of these goods consist of carbohydrates, sugars, and starches.”
“These include flour and various types of cheese used in sweets and pizza, in addition to sugar and flour derivatives used in confectionery production,” he complained.
It’s a pizza genocide. And a Zionist conspiracy to cover up the famine.
“There is now an abnormal increase in people’s weight. It appears that the Israeli occupation is trying to conceal the crime of starving Palestinians by creating an opposite image, one of rapid and unnatural weight gain,” he said.
Or the Hamas liars who lied about the famine are now covering that up by claiming Fatocide to explain why they’re all so fat.
There are plenty of photos and videos from Gaza during the so-called ‘famine’ and we saw lots of obesity. But this new ‘Fatocide’ will be the way that they not only deny that they lied, but blame Israel for making them fat.
As I documented earlier this year, the Arab Muslim settler population in Gaza were always fat because Arab Muslim culture tends toward eating a lot. This was a ‘pre-existing condition‘.
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.
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.
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.
Overeating kills a whole lot more Arab Muslim settlers in Gaza than Israel. But now they’re blaming Israel for being fat.
“I had lost weight because of the limited and repetitive food options we were forced to eat throughout the past year,” he said. “Now, I eat the same portions, but they lead to weight gain because I am compelled to consume carbohydrates, processed cheese, and manufactured meat, that’s what’s available.
Sure. Sadly the article contains no ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of the gentleman to confirm that his ‘weight gain’ was a Zionist Fatocide conspiracy.
The ‘Fatocide’ lie has two points.
1. To cover up the fake famine by claiming that Israel is making them gain weight
2. To rebuild Hamas capabilities by smuggling in weapons and tunnel and rocket equipment. Their complaint is that Israel is taking too long to inspect shipments and that makes it harder to bring in meat and eggs. Reduce the inspection process and Hamas will be able to get in more weapons.
There are also complaints that they’re not being allowed to move fishing boats far enough from shore. Why not? Because those boats are ways to smuggle in weapons and stage attacks.
The real ‘Fatocide’ agenda is about enabling Islamic terrorism under the guise of fake humanitarian problems.
Abdallah Sharshara is quoted in a lot of media narratives about the incredible suffering in Gaza. Most tellingly he was quoted in The National, the UAE’s state propganda media, defending the Hamas massacres after the ‘ceasefirre’.
The “legal researcher” told the UAE’s version of Al Jazeera, that the Hamas killings and torture were “necessary but dangerous”.
“The war profiteers, the smugglers and the thieves, must be punished,” he warned.
Especially if they were smuggling pizza and chocolate.
Ray Graf says
They are FOREVER ‘VICTIMS’😃
Tim gallagher says
Isn’t that the truth, ray. How about some self control. No it always is somebody else’s fault. As you say Muslims are always whinging about being victims then when they have the chance victimised others, they are merciless I hope they all eat themselves to death.
bill says
Unfortunately self control is a quality sadly lacking in a large percenatge of people wherever they reside which is why we have obesity problems all over the world.

Spot on, Ray and Tim.
Westman says
Too much sugar and spice and everything nice?
When they really needed snips and snails and puppy dog’s tails?
Blaming Israel for your own choices that made you fat? Then explain the typical Kuwaiti:
“In Kuwait, approximately 77% of the population is overweight, with over 40% classified as obese, making it one of the countries with the highest obesity rates in the Arab world.” –

Nera says
That’s from all the candy from celebrating martyrs and every Israeli light extinguished, they’ll soon be getting even fatter all over Europe while our leftists cry for their infinity shahid progeny
Rarely says
It’s the Marie Antoinette solution for a starving populace short of bread – “Let them eat cake”.
Ergo, blame it on the French.
Keys says
Love reading the clever and sarcastic remarks here about this famine turning in to a fat fest!
Suggestion: make every month a Ramadan month with weigh-ins on each full moon.
somehistory says
Ho ho, photos of before the “fat”….during the “famine,” many, many of the “palestinians” were obese.
No one is forcing them to eat. They can avoid food if they don’t wish to stay….stay….fat.
James Lincoln says
Pretty hard to claim that you are starving when you’re gaining weight…
gravenimage says
Why not, James? Gazans can also claim there is a “genocide” when the population is growing.,,
ploome says
They should be eating what they can produce. As long as others feed them, they have no reason to change.
Now they will have others build their homes, schools, hospitals and anything else they need.
And now they also have the WHOLE WORLD at their feet…and hating the people THEY attacked, kidnapped, raped and slaughtered.

FATOCIDE: Israel Accused of Making Gazans Fat
According to the propaganda site, Gazans are suffering because the supermarkets have “shelves overflowing with chocolate, soft drinks, and cigarettes” and lots of products that are fattening.
………………………………………………….
Supermarket store shelves? Haven’t we been told that all Gazans are getting food from aid trucks?
And who is forcing them to eat chocolate and soft drinks? And as bad for your health cigarettes are, they are not actually fattening. And why would starving Gazans be spending their money in non-food items in a famine?
Actually, the rate of overweight and obesity have been high in Gaza for a long time.
And how did Gazans go from (supposedly) starving to overweight in–what? Just days? Right now they are pushing *both claims*. Just risible.
OLD GUY says
Always the muslim victim and the media will follow it like a dog on the sent of a rabbit.
OLD GUY says
Sorry about the sent, meant scent.
Blougeoisie says
Guess destroying those Zionist greenhouses was a bad idea….
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Israel should admit “guilt” here, and say that it was a side-effect of them trying to prevent Gazans from starving. How much the Gazans ate every meal was on them
somehistory says
Why not? They are being blamed, so if they *admit* to giving the muzzies too much food, the claims will have to turn to something else.
A marriage counsellor tells his clients that in an argument, the one says, “You always …” so the other should say, “You’re right, I do…” and the claim falls flat.
Alkflaeda says
With the number of atrocities that Israel is deemed to have perpetrated against the Gazans, and the very limited reduction in their numbers (less than 5% by my reckoning), every Gazan must be dying about six times, and Allah must just keep raising them up to die again. How else can we account for starvation (which normally takes around 2 months to kill) having allegedly been imposed for 2 years with so little result?
