Hulu is being harshly criticized for streaming a pro-Israel ad which brazenly claims Gaza would be a vacation destination if not for Hamas. Mimicking a glossy tourism pitch, the 30-second ad invites people to “Come visit beautiful Gaza” in text on-screen while showcasing what appear to be AI-generated images of pristine beaches, luxury hotels and happy travelers. A narrator tells people they can “embrace the vibrant nightlife of the city and experience a culture rich in tradition” in the region, where the United Nations says about 100,000 people have been killed, injured or gone missing since Israel’s retaliation campaign following the Oct. 7 attacks that killed 1,200 people.

And as many have pointed out, Israel had always intensified its bombing campaigns on Gaza around days like thanksgiving, Christmas and now the Super Bowl. The last time I said this around Black Friday people lost their minds thinking Palestinians want to make everything about themselves.

Have whatever thoughts you want about this, but it's laughable if you can't tell by now how this genocide has been orchestrated since day one. We have a whole history of evidence as to how Israel utilises the absence of eyes on Palestine to carry out its heinous crimes with the least amount of international fuss.
