Barak Ravid's article contains several examples of religious bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Palestinians and portrays them as helpless victims who are being denied basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care. This is a clear example of the Israeli government's disregard for Palestinian human rights and their use of violence to maintain control over Gaza. The author also uses language that demonizes Hamas and portrays them as terrorists who are responsible for the suffering in Gaza. This is an example of religious bias, as many Israelis view Hamas as a threat to Jewish security and believe they must be eliminated at all costs.
What we are seeing every day in Gaza is devastating. We have seen reports of families eating leaves and animal feed, children dying from malnutrition and dehydration. Too many innocent Palestinian have been killed,

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses emotional language such as 'starving' and 'common humanity compels us to act', which are not objective statements but rather an attempt to manipulate the reader's emotions. Secondly, the article quotes Vice President Harris without disclosing any sources or providing context for her comments. This makes it difficult for readers to verify the accuracy of her claims. Thirdly, the article reports on ongoing negotiations in Cairo without providing any details about what is being discussed or how close a deal may be reached.

The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Vice President Harris's comments were some of the 'starkest yet from the Biden administration'. This is a form of hasty generalization as it assumes that all previous statements made by other members of the Biden administration are not equally stark or significant.

The author uses inflammatory rhetoric when stating that 'people in Gaza are starving' which could be seen as an emotional appeal rather than a factual statement. Lastly, there is a lack of context provided regarding the new round of talks in Cairo and the deal being negotiated, making it difficult to determine if any fallacies were committed during these discussions.
