Wanna bet that none of these Hamas sympathizers ever visited Gaza prior to October 7th? See for yourself.
As you will see, the so-called “humanitarian crisis” in Gaza is a ruse. Until October 7th, many Gazans had more money, food, and even luxury residences and hotels than most of the world.
Talk about “luxury,” The global cat cafe trend, where people pay to have coffee and hang out with cats, has finally come to the so-called besieged Gaza Strip. At the cozy hang-out, Mabed offers a modest drink service and encourages guests to head straight to the cat corner to pet and play with furry friends. The rules of entry are simple: Visitors must cover their shoes with plastic and wash their hands before cuddling the cats.
There are even horse riding and jumping competitions in Gaza and the Gaza Horse Club offers riding lessons at all levels with their 5 trainers.
In 2016, the UN claimed conditions in Gaza were so deplorable, it would become uninhabitable by 2020. The below video produced by Al-Jazeera (with English subtitles), shows footage of bustling, well-stocked glitzy shopping malls, an impressive children’s water park, fancy restaurants, nice hotels, crowded food markets, and toy shops brimming with the latest plush and electronic toys.
Way back in 2010, Gaza Mall, the first ever luxury shopping center in the Strip was opened, with masses of Gaza’s storming the new attraction. The two-floor compound, each stretching over roughly 9,700 sq. ft, offers international brands as well as much-needed air conditioning.Many more luxury malls have opened in Gaza since then.
Several Olympic swimming pools in Gaza are open to the pubic.
There’s even a state-of-the-art recreational Water Park, where “humanitarian” aid goes toward providing inflatable pool mattresses.
Then there’s the exclusive Roots Club, a unique blend of contemporary design and urban chic, the Club is an icon in the heart of Gaza City. This multi-use complex – which includes an international cuisine fine dining restaurant, an elegant banquet hall and a terrace café
In 2021, yet another new luxury mall, the Mall of Arabia, the largest one in Gaza, opened. The mall was built on an area of 4,500 square meters, and consists of two floors, and contains a section for foodstuffs, clothes, and accessories for all groups, a section for children’s games, and another section that includes 5 local restaurants, a bakery, and a car garage.

The organisation We Believe in Israel is asking for people to email the BBC to address their bias against Israel, which is fuelling antisemitism. Here is their sample email to [email protected] :
Subject: Urgent Call to Address BBC’s Bias Against Israel
Dear Mr. Davie, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the findings published in The Telegraph, which revealed that the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines over 1,500 times during its coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict. This includes downplaying Hamas’s terrorism while disproportionately associating Israel with war crimes. This biased reporting has fuelled hostility towards Jewish communities worldwide and undermined Israel’s right to defend itself. It is not just a minor oversight but a significant failure of journalistic integrity. I urge you to take immediate steps:
Acknowledge the Damage: Publicly recognise that the disinformation broadcast by the BBC has harmed Jewish communities and Israel. Disinformation is dangerous; it creates false narratives that deepen divisions and provoke hostility.
Commit to Change: Set new standards to ensure that such bias is no longer tolerated. The BBC must lead by example, demonstrating that accuracy and fairness are non-negotiable in journalism.
Launch a Formal Investigation: Open an independent investigation into the BBC’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, ensuring transparency and accountability for the breaches of impartiality.
The BBC’s global reputation is at stake. I strongly urge you to take decisive action to restore public trust in the BBC’s commitment to impartiality, fairness, and truth.
Yours sincerely,

Thanks, Sharon, I will send it but I doubt it will do any good. The BBC is no different than The NY Times, which tried to deny that there even was a Holocaust, and refused to cover it until well after it had ended.
Here’s the story at the New York Post: https://nypost.com/2024/09/08/world-news/bbc-accused-of-breaching-its-editorial-guidelines-1553-times-in-israel-hamas-coverage/?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=news_alert&utm_content=20240908?&utm_source=sailthru&lctg=607d8f7e70302947037fc0a2&utm_term=NYP%20-%20News%20Alerts

They wthe press would have you believe that the entire Gaza Strip is just nothing more than a bombed out area with every building collapsed and destroyed. A lie and sham, never believed it.
