‘BBC,’ ‘NBC’ repeat outrageous lie about starving Gazan babies

WATCH: “The Quad” with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum

Blood libels are nothing new to the Jewish people, but the latest smear from a U.N. official claiming that 14,000 Gazan babies would die of starvation within 48 hours is an all-time low.

In this episode of “The Quad,” Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is joined by Syrian commentator Rawan Osman, JNS political analyst Meira K and JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum to unpack the lies targeting Israel, the hypocrisy of Western democracies and the dangerous propaganda fueling global anti-Israel sentiment.

As the United Kingdom, France, Canada and others intensify their condemnations and even threaten sanctions, the panel lays bare how Israel is being vilified while its enemies are appeased. They examine the myth of starving babies in the Gaza Strip, Hamas’s aid theft, and how misinformation is being weaponized across Arab and Western media. The conversation also explores the rise of internal sabotage from Israel’s radical left and the damaging rhetoric of figures like Yair Golan, a reserve major general in the Israel Defense Forces.

Key topics include:

  • Western governments’ growing appeasement of Islamist extremism
  • The media’s role in amplifying Hamas propaganda
  • European electoral politics and the anti-Israel bandwagon
  • The humanitarian aid debate and the hostage dilemma
  • Trump’s Middle East policy and potential Syrian normalization
  • Heroism, resilience and the future of Israeli sovereignty
