This stallholder is selling wax fruit to keep up appearances.
This cake looks good but is actually made of papier maiche!
There have already been confirmed reports of people eating animals from the zoo, and eating grass and mud just to fill themselves up. The famous photos of starving palestinian children are being surpressed by the Zionist media but we know the truth! The Zionists have a lot to answer for, notwithstanding the 60 years of slow genocide they've already inflicted on the Palestinians.
Viva Palestina!

the united nations convention on the rights of the child states that
they need play and fun and lightness etc:
Article 31
1. States Parties recognize the right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational
activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.
2. States Parties shall respect and promote the right of the child to participate fully in cultural and
artistic life and shall encourage the provision of appropriate and equal opportunities for cultural,
artistic, recreational and leisure activity.
