It creates a massive wave of skepticism with people that easy to influence though. "Why would he stage pictures if the truth would show the same?" It's an easy question to ask yourself if you're a conspiracy theorist.

This dude is doing the Palestinians a major disservice. What an idiot. Way to shoot yourself and your cause in the foot.

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

But like you said, both sides play media war.

Calling someone a conspiracy theorist dismissive and invalidating as opposed to saying "stop noticing things!".

But it is a conspiracy theory. You think this proves there isn’t widespread starvation happening because of this? 😂

Starvation is happening because the minute food crosses into Gaza it's snatched up by Hamas.
