Israel ‘runs sick AI propaganda ad’ on streaming service: ‘Come visit beautiful Gaza’
Israel has been running a sick AI-generated ‘ad’ on US streaming service Hulu, showing Gaza as a lush beach resort full of five-star hotels – a grim contrast with the reality of mass slaughter and levelled buildings inflicted by Israel on Gaza’s civilians.
The video, posted to social media platform TikTok by user ‘leftoftheprojectorpod’ and highlighted on Twitter by journalist Mario Nawfal, claims to show “what Gaza would look like without Hamas” – a complete inversion of a reality in which Israel has intentionally flattened most homes, hospitals and schools, killing around 35,000 people and wounding, often maiming, double that number:
The text of the video reads:
Come visit beautiful Gaza. With its stunning beaches and charming boardwalks, you can stay in one of our 5-star hotels and get a taste of the best in Middle Eastern food. Embrace the vibrant nightlife of the city. And experience a culture rich in tradition. This is what Gaza could have looked like without Hamas.
Other users of the service said that the video was really run on the streaming service:
It's real. Zionists made a bunch of AI clips of Gaza and blamed Hamas as the reason it's a leveled concentration camp instead of some tourist trap. Shame on Hulu. They would never do this for Russia which means they know what they're doing. pic.twitter.com/OpMIhCXuui

The content of the propaganda video is as accurate as Israel’s claims that it is adhering to international law in its slaughter of innocents – and its attempts to pin the blame for the bombing of hospitals and the mass killing of its own citizens on Palestinian resistance.
