Hamas now portrays Gaza as idyllic paradise in the middle east (Video)

Should't they just pick one image that they want push on the world and stick with it?
I mean, it's hard to imagine the poverty and starvation that allegedly is going on there when the latest video from their own government shows shopping malls, swimming pools and restaurants. The place doesn't look worse than average Muslim/Arab country.
I understand that obviously they are not showing everything, but then again, all they need to do is to stop allocating all the charity they get from the international community towards the underground city that serves Hamas' military wing - this will allow them easily to rebuilt all of Gaza into the holiday resort they trying to present in this video.

Wait a minute,
That was the place Isreal was supposed to have bombed back to the stone age?
Looks more like a tourist video.

Well good luck finding it tourists, Google removed Palestine from their maps and labeled it Israel.

golly., the very epitome of a forked tounge.

Gaza is a very lovely Seaside City.
small museums shopping restaurants and a lively nightlife.
unless you're Jewish then they try to shred you to pieces with their bare hands.
lovely place that gaza.
but many of the Rabid lunatics who defend hamas say it is an open-air prison.

I'm sure if they filmed parts of Detroit they would claim that it is being bombed and occupied by Israel as well.

That's the way most of Azza looks. There's only a few destroyed areas where battles have taken place in the past.
I'd also note all of what you see was paid for with the American working people's tax dollars.
As well as all they could steal from U.S. charities under false pretenses.

People believe what they want to believe, the truth is irrelevant .
Many of the posts here prove that beyond all reasonable doubt.

Yah, except they don;t show the high wall that surrounds the prison Gaza, the towers wth machine guns, the no mans land, the patrol boats out at sea to prevent any ships bringing aid, the tunnels in the south to secure ordinary trade goods the Israelis won't allow.

Not one single airport, train crossing, or defense force to protect themselves from the occupation force of their homeland Palestine. If a single tank or airplane was to appear anywhere it would be bombed by the wave of IDF jets and drones overhead.

Yah, some paradise, the worlds largest open air prison, Gaza.

At the risk of sounding like I am picking a fight, I am not and no offence intended.
I think the Jews have acted atrociously at times towards Palastine

What ordinary trade goods does Israel not allow to come into Palestine, what are the tunnels for, what goods

Thanks

a reply to: Raggedyman

The tunnel complexes were bombed in the south of Gaza during the last suppression of Gaza by air campaign and ground pounding with artillery and tanks. There were a ton of threads here about it. Goods as well as weapons were discovered in large cases underground. But mostly goods, like TVs, motor scooters, food and medical supplies for one. Got to go, Google some of that or I will when I return.

It is mostly a fence. Many countries have fences around their borders.

the towers wth machine guns

Yep, many countries have these as well. This is how you protect your borders.

the patrol boats out at sea to prevent any ships bringing aid

The only aid they seem to need is with choosing which leisure activity to do today.

the tunnels in the south to secure ordinary trade goods the Israelis won't allow.

South Gaza border is controlled by Egypt, not Israel. Take it up with them.

No defense force to protect themselves from the occupation force.

Hamas would be deeply offended by this statement...

Your link shows some old pictures and cartoons... The video in this post is created and released by the Gazan government.
If you disagree, you really should take it up with them.

And thats just on the Egyptian side...

a reply to: BelowLowAnnouncement

Except Google were right. It is Israel. Google maps shows the non-Isreali parts too.

To the OP. Gaza is an overcrowded and impoverished place made worse by Isareli dominance and the role of Hamas who have presided over a worsening economic situation through their policies. Hamas have also been progressing successfully with a process of the Islamification of Gaza, thus ensuring the perpetuation of hate and intolerance.

Gaza is kept afloat by the international community, noteably the EU and the US. Hamas is kept afloat by Iran.

No, it entirely surrounds Gaza, except on the sea side, the ocean is patrolled by Israeli gun boats. Theres also a wall that stretches four hundred miles surrounding the other Palestinian prison colony, the west bank.

a reply to: Raggedyman

As far as the tunnels, filter information about them from here. The western main stream paints them as Hamas and weapons only, the truth is more revealing...

links

As far as Hamas promoting a peaceful Gaza, the video is for Gazans who's oppression can use some uplifting.

You do know there was a wall between Egypt and the Gaza Strip , didnt you ? A well guarded border . There are reasons for the walls and guards. The Palestinians long ago ruined their standing with Egypt , Jordan , Syria , Lebanon, etc..
