It is moral bankruptcy that compels the West to buy into Hamas’s lies. While Israel facilitates hundreds of aid transports daily, it is Hamas itself that blocks, steals, or deliberately plunges them into chaos to produce images for its propaganda machine. Hunger is not alleviated here—it is staged. Hamas’s propaganda is a deception woven from images of suffering that it itself has caused. It shouts to the world: “Hunger! Misery! Oppression!” Yet it is Hamas that plunders aid convoys, hides the bread, and subjugates its people. I do not deny the suffering of the people in the Gaza Strip—their pain is real, and no one deserves such a fate. But their suffering is the result of a shepherd deliberately leading them into the abyss. Fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood thrive on clear roles: an innocent victim and a wicked wolf. Europe and the West willingly and uncritically adopt this narrative. In the story staged by Hamas, Israel is the wolf, and Gaza is the helpless Red Riding Hood. And Europe swallows the tale—red hood and all.
