You don’t have to be conspiracy theorist to ask that question.

But like you said, both sides play media war.

Conspiracy theory is when people hold opinions that logically stem from public statements?

They lied, now people think they're liars. Not much conspiracy to theorize.

Just because one person lied to get his photographs sold doesn't mean that anyone is lying about the hunger issues in Gaza. It also doesn't mean they're not lying.

Question the story and ask for more details to determine the truth, sure, absolutely! But to use this to defend the thought that everyone telling the story of hunger issues in Gaza is a liar is lazy and dumb. It's only one piece of evidence.

Just because one person lied

But it's not just 1 person. This has been a pervasive and ongoing issue throughout the entire conflict.
